Guys, I am giving some serious consideration to purchasing a Steyr USR around the first of the year as my next firearm, as I want to pick up some of the harder to come by rifle first. I would rather go with the AUG, but cannot justify spending about twice as much as the average cost of the USR.
My questions:
1. What [b]exactly[/b] are the differences between the AUG and USR?
2. Is it safe to assume that modifying a USR to AUG status would be illegal?
3. What are the specs on these two versions as far as length, weight, etc.?
4. The prices I have seen on Guns America range $2200+ for the USR (average $2700) and $3600+ for the AUG (average $5000). Are these inflated prices, or is this about the norm in various locales?
Thanks in advance for any and all questions that are answered.
