Aug Picture Thread

[Mike Obrien]

I've been meaning to put up a photo of my aug for a long time, this is the current set up on my main AUG, though the suppressor is commonly switched between that or the flash hider, but I may start trying different suppressors in an attempt to find one more... suppressing.

Nice. 

 

The Docter on top of the stock scope is a nice touch.

[Mike Obrien]

Thanks mate, quite a late response, been meaning to. Yeah I had to put that there for when in tighter spaces and within 50-75 feet, much easier to aim with. Though I really shouldn't be using that on people within 100 feet of me considering it shoots 390 w/ 3s.......

That silencer works well with the "A3-esque" barrel/receiver combo, although I'd go with a grip or gripod myself - where are you going to put your other hand without any foregrip?

[chas]

Well, its a DMR/sniper setup. So no front grip I guess, like most bolt rifles or even semis (M14, SVD).

[Hedganian]

A foregrip doesn't have to be vertical - every sniper rifle I've ever seen has a place to put your non-trigger hand to increase stability and control. 

[Got Wood?]

Plenty of room between the trigger guard and the bipod for a hand but she's not mine anymore

On the chin of the butt stock?

[Hedganian]

How would that help you while moving or standing?

[renegadecow]

For that you can put your support hand over the trigger guard like an AFG of sorts.

 

But as a DMR/sniper with the bipod out you'll probably be shooting prone or supported most of the time where having the support hand on the butt stock is more comfortable.

*not an AUG obviously, but the same applies

Indeed. I often use that position when I've got the H-BAR on the bipod.

[kapitan_jay]

The so calld "H-BAR" in the different configurations: lMG77, ZfG77 and with "standard bar" as StG77:

"So-called"??

[kapitan_jay]

It is called like this, isn't it? ^^

I just prefer to use the Bundesheer designations in general.

[Hedganian]

Saying something is "so-called" implies that it's not that, but people call it that mistakenly. Whereas I'm given to understand that "H-Bar" is the designation given to that variant by Steyr themselves (as it's short for Heavy Barrel), which would make it a perfectly valid name.

You're, of course, free to use the designations given by any Armed Force which actually USES the AUG - indeed I would encourage it - but such codes are going to be less well known outside the countries/militaries concerned.

Leaving all that aside, though, your images were good - nice clean AUG configurations. Do you find the "issue" AUG sling any use? I find it only good for carrying the rifle, rather than being any good in combat, compared to a three-point sling, such as the British Army issue one.

[kapitan_jay]

Well, it serves my needs since my days in the Army. Never had the need to replace it.

Nice!

 

Is it possible to get RS IMG77 bipod/flash hinder in Wienna???

[kapitan_jay]

Never saw any available.
