Treadhead Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Looking good Evert... Have you lot seen this page? It's a brilliant set of AUG reference pics.... Also, does anyone have the dimensions of the 9mm barrel? I'm gonna get a chance to do a bit of lathe-ing at the the weekend and I reckon I may as well make one while I've got the chance...

Evert 72 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 mattmanic- Done some foam silencing around the GB's of my augs. Doesn’t make much difference to the volume in my experience. Probably worth doing if you want a “silent” set-up though. I found it too much effort but then I am constantly taking the gearbox in and out of mine (more than most). Looking good Evert... Have you lot seen this page? It's a brilliant set of AUG reference pics.... Thanks, great pics. Never seen them before. Lots of inspiration for future projects.

Thanks for the great picture resource. I could have done with that ages ago.... Typical. Speak to Doc, he made me a 9mm barrel and silencer. He may still have the specs he used.

Treadhead Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Found this while researching: http://www.steyr-mannlicher.com/military-a...-aug-a3-9mm-xs/ Talk about a CQBeastie... Still not sure whether I REALLY love it or REALLY hate it... think I may have to build one at some stage... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) Where were all these resources when I was trying to find information about various AUG variants? On a slightly related note, the AUG A3 'SF' looks so much better than the 'regular' A3. I think it'd be a real pain to build an airsoft version though... And I really quite like that RIS rail bolted through where the foregrip would normally fit - might be an option for all those people who seem to hate the AUG's foregrip.

Evert 72 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 http://www.steyr-mannlicher.com/military-a...-aug-a3-9mm-xs/ Damn, I did that style rail/foregrip combo on my speckly aug but I decided it looked to unrealistic. So I went back to a traditional grip. Wish I had stuck with it now ive seen that picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Treadhead Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 For anyone else thinking of a 9mm barrel, here's what I've come up with... I managed to find an image of a 9mm barrel and reasonable resolution which I imported into AutoCAD, scaled and traced. It's not gonna be 100% perfect, but it's close enough for my purposes. Just print the attached pdf at 100% on A4 and you've got a scale drawing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 The silencer thread on the AUG 9mm is 18.5x1.0 mm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Treadhead Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) Cool, ta... That makes sense, as the dia. of the barrel in my .dwg before I scaled it down to match the airsoft size was a tad over 18mm (OD of the gas block on the RS according to the image I worked from was 24mm, but the TM one I was working from was nearer 22)... I've just put the 18.5 back into the .dwg and it's added 6mm to the overall length (I hadn't dimensioned it the first time I scaled it)... Well you can consider the above .pdf to have the correct proportion of diameters to the gas block, the one attached below has the (more) correct lengths and diameters for the barrel itself...

Tbone67 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi all AUG's lovers! Do you remember my first AUG's custom? Now, I do a new custom more extrem There are much work again, but I can show you a "idea" that will be: Receiver: One of forward block (for grenade launcher or sniping purposes): Cocking lever: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Will look forward to seeing it when it's finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Treadhead Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Can a man have too many AUG's? Probably not.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 It's modular for a reason - why have 2 "military" AUGs and a "military AUG H-Bar? You can have too many AUGs - when you have to *PAY* for them... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Treadhead Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) You can have too many AUGs - when you have to *PAY* for them... I got a job lot of old TM ones... Heh, the on on the extreme left is my old sprayed green one - it's being sold to a mate as soon as he's got the cash... The plan is to leave the CA A1 in stock form for general use, use the black one with a TM stock box for CQB type gaming with a 9mm conversion and the TM Mil with an upgraded box (up to 350ish) and H-Bar in a support role (singe a gun doing 350fps with that long barrel will almost certainly be higher with a standard length one)... Or I might change my mind and sell another, who knows... Edited June 24, 2009 by Treadhead Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattmanic Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) The Aug that is now mine Sorry about the crappy phone pics. I'll take better ones tomorrow. P.S. I know the wall paper isn't issue but it was the best that they had in the shop Edited June 26, 2009 by mattmanic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Evert 72 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Nice pics but the scope position looks a bit awkward being that far back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shriven Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Yeah, that looks seriously uncomfortable. Your cheek is supposed to just on that rubber cover! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dom S Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) And this is why the AUG military is better... The scope is positioned perfectly. THE CAMO IS NOT MEANT TO BE FUNCTIONAL I.E I WILL NOT BLEND IN WITH IT. IT IS MEANT TO BE DISTINCTIVE AND UNIQUE. Just thought id get that off my chest before people say; oh you did it wrong. Im thinking of mounting a RIS rail in the same place as the cocking lever on but on the opposite side, with a tac light, and then a custom laser in where the gas tube is. What you guys think?

mattmanic Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Sorry, I'm a bit new to this, owning a scope lark. Could someone explain to me what is correct? When I got it the scope was in a "normal" position and from where it feels natural to shoulder the rifle at the moment. I get a view like this: When I moved forward a bit it got better so I moved the scope back to look like this: I have done a little MS Painting and came up with this: Have I got the right idea? Sorry for being such a noob. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good work, but its not something i would personally do to a classic style A1. Adding rails also takes away from the look. Scope or barrel mount the tac light and not bother with the laser in the gas tube as it detracts from the realism. However judging by the paint job realism doesn’t concern you too much, so go for it. Wonder how hard it will be to find a laser that fits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
