Catman Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I found some more pics of the new AUG on this nice little German website. They were taken at the IWA 2006. Note the transparent prototype. Btw the top one is a springer. I have no idea why they keep putting it next to their own though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nice find! But please tell me I'm not the only one that finds this: clicky rather funny Link to post Share on other sites

Southern Cross Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I've never been a big fan of the Aug but something about this one, maybe its just the fact that its a Classic Army, I am really digging. It is definitely a sexy rig. The fact that someone mentioned they are thinking of releasing a RIS version later makes me want to hold off on buying it just in case it is the A3. Just in case you guys haven't seen this yet...I don't think I saw it posted. Link to post Share on other sites
Bob the Angry Potato Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 You know what'd make this gun even better? Interchangeable upper-receivers and barrels, so you could buy one and make in an AUG-P, AUG Civilian, AUG A1 or an AUG A3. I'm dying for one of these, yet I'm torn between this and an AUG A3. I hope to God you can change bits around. Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 The Steyr Carbine in the pic is a HapDong Springer, can see that from the screwn holes on the receiver and the foregrip. There has NEVER been a problem with the magazine release on the TM steyr, the design is not weak. Its is also nothing to do with the feed nipple either. Its the mag well, and the two mag well tabs beside the magazine catch that gets worn over time that causes the misfeeding problems. As those tabs wear, they allow more movement for the mags to rock back and forth, and the magazine slips out of the nipple. Thickening the two tabs with eproxy is a viable fix, as with lengthening the feed nipple. As for broken hop units, well if you are even a slightly bit rough on the barrel during field strip can damage it. The trick is NOT to do normal stripping, but take the upper receiver out of the stock first, then the barrel. I think the weakest design in the TM Steyr is the barrel, which is made of a front pot metal section and a plastic inner section. Over use and time the pot metal barrel warps downwards or to the side, and the plastic part doesn't support it well. Because of this I have always found that the gun was more accurate on an 14" barrel than a 20" barrel. Best if CA did a ONE PIECE BARREL, and yeah optional 14",16",20" barrels, with the A2 receivers , so changing out from scope to rail is quick. Link to post Share on other sites

Slade xTekno Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Do you know if the 1.5x scope on the AUG will have any eye relief? Link to post Share on other sites
jimel Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Every magnifying scope has an eye relief. Eye relief is the distance from the viewing end of a sighting device to your eye that you need to be at to get the best view through it. Link to post Share on other sites
Slade xTekno Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Every magnifying scope has an eye relief. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ever used a STAR G36 Scope? Link to post Share on other sites
Boba_Fett Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Eye relief....had the chance to test the TM AUG Military two days ago and the I found it much easier to use the 1,5x scope of the CA than the 2x of the TM...but that´s my oppinion. Link to post Share on other sites
