Personally I think the Aug really shines when it has the 20inch barrel. Getting the full intend power of 5.56 with out the rifle being a bean poll is just awesome.
I’ve added the Corvus Defensio shell deflector is the bomb and the Ratworx metal sear improves the trigger greatly. I ran across a deal on a suppressed gas plug and spare stock. I run a Steiner M332 on my A3 NATO AUG. Love this rifle. I can wait to get the .300 BO suppressed barrel when it comes out. I run a Surefire Vampire V1 IR and white light single cell light where you mount yours. Enjoyed your video.
Sounds like a slick setup! The 300blk version will be really cool! With the ratworx sear, some dry graphite, and the spring upgrade I was really pleased how nice the trigger came out - exceeded my expectations. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Fantastic presentation👍👍 now add a Steyr L9-A2 MF 9mm pistol to your carry gear. On sale now at BERELI in Fla.. That's how I landed here because of my Steyr pistol research. Great job describing your process. The Australian video is great. Every AUG owner should watch and adhere to the instruction. Shoot safe✌️. 72 male, New Hampshire 🇺🇲
The L9-A2 is a cool pistol but not really on my list of ones to buy. I appreciate the kind words. I love the AUG. Its a fantastic design that was way ahead of its time! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@ 13:10 The stock trigger isn't nice but one thing to remember is that the whole rifle was designed to be operated with heavy winter gloves. One thing I'd want on an Aug is an A3-CQC kit, that thing looks super tidy.
Agreed on the trigger. Its also more of a battle rifle, not a precision instrument. Also the original trigger was two stage, first stage was semi, then pull it back more for auto, I am sure they wanted it heavy with a distinct stage between the firing modes. The A3-CQC kit does look sick!
Very useful information, thank you. I’ve bought my AUG used, and it runs Wolf steel case just fine with a ptr vent 3 suppressor on normal gas setting. Im not sure what the previous owner did with the gun but Im pretty sure those variables are unexpected of an AUG. Since it works so well I was thinking of dropping the $250-$400 to upgrade the trigger with red springs, ratworx sear, arid trigger, and graphene lube.
@@CountryRacing186 Between the Ratworx sear, and upgraded trigger spring kit, the trigger is really quite good for a bullpup. Highly recommend the upgrades!
sorry if this is a dumb question. since this is the nato ver and uses ar15 mags, can this also use the original clear looking aug mags as well? love your vids!
Yeah I was on the V1 waitlist for a good month or two before I got the notification it was in stock. Still about $100. And for the reasons I lay out in the video I'm a big salty about the price and functionality of it. They had an opportunity to really tune the inlet port size for suppressor use (instead of just venting more gas off - which will make it was louder). Also not including the position 2 (adverse) even though they had the room for it also sucks. I just looked at the one available on the Steyr USA site. It looks the same. Same port sizes and locations. This one was not listed on the Steyr site when I was looking for it. Only the one on the V1 site was available.
@@strelokblackburn4651 Oh interesting. Not impressed with the V1 gas plug. No adverse position even though it has space for it kinda sucks. Its nice that the Steyr one does. Also I don't know why but i thought the V1 plug was a factory steyr part... maybe its not.
Well I'll have to try it when I go shooting next time. But the forst 2 settings the holes line up, and the in gr setting, looks like it the hole lines up to the vent hole on the normal setting.
When people bitch about the trigger I remind them that these things are meant to go to war. They’re not $4,000 safe queens that just come out to compete in three gun competitions.
I was suprised that the factory trigger didnt seem as bad to me as everyone makes it out to be. It was just heavy. Not bad, totally usable and reliable. I will admit that to me (probably my lack of skill) that it was hard to not disrupt the sights while breaking the shot when shooting from a bench. I suppose the "worst" rifle trigger people in the states are most used to is a milspec AR trigger. However I'm a trigger snob and like to tinker so I couldn't leave it alone.
@@EngineersArmoryyeah it’s just a learning curve for the average American AR shooter. Just like the overall manual of arms for it is. It took me almost a year of consistent training to override decades of AR-muscle memory when I first bought my AUG lol
I have same. You got one hell of a deal tho!😱 I just put a can and appropriate gas plug on mine. Oh yeah, and the qd takedown pin in rear. Alot of haters out there lol. I think it sic an slick. Take er easy brotha.🫡 -Also agree, i dont think the triggers that bad at all myself. Which IS kinda nuts now that i see how the linkage works.🤔😳
