Quoted:
https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2019/03/04/idex-2019-steyr-aug-300-blk-and-stm556-from-austria/ Look at the stock on that thing. It appears to be a NATO pattern, but with a bolt release. Does this mean it will be available for the 5.56 models (or hopefully as a standalone part)? I"m hoping this is the case, since why would you have a totally separate 300BLK gun, when all you need is a barrel swap? 1. The new .300 BLK AUG barrel 2. Steyr's new and improved factory rail system 3. The new and improved NATO stock, which now features a bolt release |

That's what I figured, but the giant 300BLK on the stock threw me off.

3 years ago there was this. For anything besides 9mm and 5.56 AUG's I'll believe it when I see it.
 And about a decade ago there was a .22lr kit too.

The new rail is interesting but I like the small rail where it is now. 300 BO set up would be awesome! Still jaded over lack of chrome lining in the US guns. The upgraded nato stock is a big bonus.

Not anymore, US barrels are now made by Steyr and they are now Nitrided rather than chrome lined. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: I think you're thinking of the HK416 US Civilian version. AUG barrels are CHF and chrome lined by FN in the US. I'm kinda torn - chrome lining is a bit more durable, but nitride is reportedly more consistent accuracy wise, and also provides a much nicer exterior barrel coating vs the maganese phosphate used for chrome lined barrels. |

I have both, there is no discernible accuracy difference between the two.

It seems nato stocks with bolt release (and .300) are fielded with austrian police:

They seem to be using the older A3 receivers then then current M1s they are making here in the States.

Looks like it’s got a groove so you could use the rim of a cartridge to adjust it if it’s hot. That’s nice and a new feature right?

I could definitely get down with a 300BLK AUG.
I would definitely be interested in a 22 cal conversion kit too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wish that AUG USA / aka Styer USA was better at marketing. Their pistols are top notch and the AUG could be very viable for police use. |

No one is going to comment on how that larger gas block doesnt appear to have a gas vent hole on it?
Methinks the Austrian engineers have been fiddling with that in more than just size

Thats interesting. Do you think thats to enhance its suppressability by reducing the 'piston pop' of the previous gas vent? Quote HistoryQuoted:

A 300 blk AUG / barrel assembly? Who do I need to throw my wallet at to make this happen?
Edit - I mean, jeeze. A 16" barreled 300blk AUG, so it's already got a super clean burn with subsonics due to the long barrel though I'm not sure if it'll still be subsonic when it exits...it's still shorter than an 11.5" AR with the stock collapsed, which means it'll be maybe just a couple ticks bigger than say an MP5SD with a full length stock, with a can on the AUG. Depending on the length of the can. ...so why would anyone want a honey badger if they make this a reality?

They won't win any large contracts with that gun...most .gov agencies now want ambi features...can't shot it left handed....fail....I know its the Nato stock so it cant...but still...Steyr should just buy Thales design...

Steyr has a pretty shitty track record of bringing things they show off to market so who knows if it ever will.
Examples: 22lr conversion, 7.62/39 aug, CQB version that really only came about because of Pete after being shown in pictures and booths for years drawing interest, that AR looking rifle that uses the AUG gas system, and probably more I’m not even aware of. |

The 5.56-to-300BLK is the easiest, cheapest caliber conversion ever, esp on the AUG which already has an adjustable regulator as standard. The fact that Steyr hasn't already done this years ago speaks very poorly of their commitment to the platform. Maybe they are just milking the AUG dry now that its replacement (F90) is in production, and will just ride the AUG into the ground before killing it outright. For that reason, I'm not convinced a 300BLK AUG will ever happen, at least for the US civilian. |

But Steyr gets plenty of contracts, police and military with the AUG still. I do hope we see the .300 Blkout barrels/AUGs here. Perhaps the lack of sales on other barrels is making Steyr be slow. Everyone whined for 24in., 20 in, 1/7 barrels. And when they did come out. They took FOREVER to sell a couple hundred barrels. |

seriously though, someone with access to mill, lathe, and welder should experiment with 300BLK. |
