My ebony to your ivory.

Picked up my white Steyr AUG A3 last week. Came with a 16” barrel with a scope which includes cross hairs and a round circle (Donut of Death) in the middle of cross hairs. Weighs about 7lbs unloaded. Came with a 30 round magazine
I did pick but two 42 round proprietary mags too

Anyway gun shoots great. You tube videos say trigger pull is around 9 pds which I was affraid was going to be a bit much. Turns out the trigger is super smooth with a nice clean break. Much nicer than my stock Sig MCX 300 blk out.

Rifle shoots both 5.56 & .233 REM. So far I’ve only shot 55gr 223.

First trip out to the range, this rifle/scope was way off at 50 yards. I couldn’t even hit any of the white target.
But with some “bore sighting”
I was able to shoot pretty good groups at 50 yards. Once I hone
in the scope where I want it, will try it at 100 yards.

I paid $2400.00 including tax.
A bit more than I wanted to spend, but this gun is worth every penny. (in my opinion)

$2400 out the door with the factory scope isn’t a bad deal.

also don’t forget that the gun has an adjustable gas regulator. If some .223 loads are too anemic to cycle the gun, just crank the gas regulator to the bigger circle.

Hey thanks for the heads up on the gas regulator!

Do you shoot 5.56 or .223 out of your gun?

Whatever cheaper that I can find. Even the Tula crap too, but definitely have to set the gas regulator to adverse setting for it to cycle though. That’s the big circle.

 

[fnfalman]

Two things for you: get the mr. clean eraser to keep her white and no m855/steel tip. It will destroy the ramps on that $500 barrel.

You DO know that the AUG was designed to shoot the SS109 NATO load?

Also do you need to adjust the gas regulator between 5.56 and .223?
Or just weak ammo in general?

just weak ammo like the Tula. Other .223 like the PMC Bronze 55-grains FMJ work just fine.

or if it’s really cold then even if you were to shoot 5.56mm, you might have to open up the gas regulator. I have yet to have shot the AUG in arctic conditions so I don’t know how cold it’d be before operation gets affected. 30-Fahrenheit isn’t cold enough to change setting.

Not $25 low but it’s the same price year round.

Also don’t forget that Magpul also makes mags for the AUG.
