AUG LMG at 250 yards

[@theodoreheintz7891]

The AUG does maintain zero when switching barrels IF they are the same length. However when you change lengthy change velocity which changes trajectory which changes zero.

[@Jobey-sy2dk-Jobey]

Love the Aug

[@theodoreheintz7891]

If you had an extended rail that went past the receiver you could melt the bipod on that instead of the barrel.

[@theodoreheintz7891]

I've been waiting for and looking forward to this. Congrats and enjoy.

[@triplefshooting]

Thanks again! I really appreciate it

@@triplefshooting I still have a couple of those 24" barrels available that I'm willing to sell. If you have a buddy that needs one let me know.

[@theodoreheintz7891]

[@triplefshooting]

@theodoreheintz7891 thanks. So far I have no other takers

[@SmallTeamSupply]

That AUG looks way better with the proper bipod on it! Lol man i loved how you flipped the magnifier out of the way at distance and your group size immediately shrank from 12 MOA down to 2-3 MOA LOL. Cant make that stuff up!

[@triplefshooting]

Yeah, that magnifier will be retiring shortly! Wish I knew what the deal was, but I'll take the groupings at 1x for sure!

[@ghostwriter1415]

@@triplefshooting what is the furthest range you've managed with that longer barrel? I've had people tell me, "with the right optics" you can get a kilometer (1000m)? ty

[@triplefshooting]

@ghostwriter1415 I've not pushed it more than 250 so far. I can get up to a 400-yard range but haven't yet. I imagine it will still hit with some authority at 400. I've honestly never been able to shoot further, so I can't speak from experience.

[@theodoreheintz7891]

Plus yes the front mounted bipod has an effect.

[@alexw2794]

You keep making me think that maybe I DO need an AR RPK upper for my rifle!

[@triplefshooting]

You do... my dad just ended up with one too. Should have a fostech vs. Franklin armory review soon.

[@alexw2794]

@@triplefshooting Looking forward to it!

[@qinarizonaful]

The extra velocity from a 24" bbl (about 3250 fps) will raise your point of impact. Any downward force on the grips will bend the bbl up due to the bipod -- another intermittent rise in POI. Your magnifier is likely not at fault. Ideally, the bipod should be attached to the underside of a free float forend fixed to the top rail/receiver, like new factory A3M2 variant with QD factory handguard or Corvus Defensio forend handguard and rail for the A3M1, allowing the barrel to droop naturally to its base harmonics. I just purchased the 24in bbl 1:9 twist (I wish 1:7), the 300 BO 16in, in 1:9, and the 20in in 1:7 from Steyr USA, now that the factory stuff is in, and you can buy a barrel bundle! I want to shoot the 77 gr SMK and OTM in the 16 and 20 in 1:7 twist. I shall try 62 gr M855 in the 24in and see if I can get 600 yd 2 MOA. Then see what weight rounds I get out to distance in the 69 and 77 gr loads with 24in bbl! I think I will put a Corvus free float on the front, and make my A3M1 a suppressed battle rifle with the QD mount SilencerCo Hybrid 46M suppressor with 30 cal front suppressor cap for one size fits all! Nice review! 👍👍

[@theodoreheintz7891]

The next couple days I'm putting a sixth Gen 9mm kit for sale let me know if you're interested.

[@jeroendesterke9739]

The ONLY change I made to my 24" was increasing springs pressures on the bipod extenders and lockup. They were far too weak and deployed every time when handing the bipod.

[@theimmortal4718]

Gorgeous

[@theodoreheintz7891]

Where'd you find the bipod?

[@triplefshooting]

My dad ended up buying the last ar rpk upper that klein had with a ratworx bipod on it. I'll still have to buy one when they come back to replace it

[@Senator-Wary]

Have you tried bumpfiring from the bipod?

[@triplefshooting]

The trigger makes it pretty tough. You can rattle a few rounds off fairly quickly, I've just never been worth a crap at bump firing

[@Senator-Wary]

@triplefshooting yeah was thinking the super sponge trigger would make it difficult Try it with the AR-RPK might be way easier and *maybe* more reliable than binary

[@triplefshooting]

@warystatue33bornagain40 that's the plan. My dad recently purchased a fostech lower and it seems much better as far as reliability is concerned. The trigger pull is a bit heavier, but more tactile. I do agree that going to a good lightweight trigger would probably be best

Steyr website has the HBAR 24" May 2024

[@awsomedude9111]

That’s pretty incredible, had KZbin recommended your other video. Just wondering about the barrel accuracy. I’m not going to buy one but if you could only buy the barrel completed with a choice of the gas block and bipod that would be cool. No idea what gas block they are using and what the actual barrel manufacture is.

[@triplefshooting]

If I remember right, many of these barrels were made by FN under contract.

[@6mtzhp55]

I have an AUG, the MRO and a 3x magnifier. I theorize the problem is the MRO's parallax (yes it has some despite being "1x") is made worse by magnification. I had similar issues.

[@triplefshooting]

Thanks for the info. Definitely keeping the MRO as a dot only from here on out

[@theodoreheintz7891]

Definitely did much better without the magnifier!

[@digitalpunk5365]

Love the Aug setups. I’m curious how the donut of death reticle would work as far as zero with 20” barrel and the lmg barrel.

[@triplefshooting]

I'd love to get the old school scope on one

[@i-tunes2025]

modify your trigger with soft sprigs. and everethig will be ok
