NEW Steyr AUG A3 SWAT: Coming to the USA? [IWA 2022]

[@davidp.6871]

[@VacuumJockey]

I like these Steyr guys. They represent their products well.

[@rickhunter6513]

They represent their products well but they sure as hell don’t promote them very well. The Steyr MF a2 is one of the best striker fire pistols out there no one knows about

[@ethanvanzant2402]

I have a buddy with an AUG. The retro vertical grip is as we say, "peak aesthetic", but I can't stand how cramped it feels. These new rails are a huge upgrade.

[@douglasshouganai2516]

me with a PS90: 👁👄👁 thumb goes into the trigger guard area.. where theres also the safety. pretty cramped.

[@toxicmatrix1337]

Interesting, I don't think its cramped at all. Charging handle with an optic, now that's cramped if you aren't holding the handle correctly.

[@picklerick9578]

The rails look like a 1980s weaver rail.

[@douglasshouganai2516]

my wallet just pissed itself in fear. if it comes to the US with mlok instead of keymod, and of course takes the waffle mags, im all in baby

[@ToastbackWhale]

Have you seen the Manticore Arms Cantilever rail? I think it does a better job, personally.

[@michaelraith9481]

In Austria, you also need to be a hunter to be able to use a silencing device on your guns. Which is weird, cause so many people complain that shooting ranges and areas are so loud, after they built their houses near them, saving money doing so.

[@georgenicheli3763]

We had that here in Canada and the club actually shut down because of the "friendly" new neighbors. European suppressor laws make sense, here the view on suppressors is they're only for assassins.

[@rodiculous9464]

Same in the US, people complain about the loud noise but don't want to make suppressors more accessible

[@Robespierres_Ghost]

Legend has it James grabbed that Aug, put on his short shorts, and ran across the boarder to Ukraine.

[@snakeshift9172]

Even the Ukrainian Foreign Legion appreciates Vinyard Vines brah.

[@gpheonix1]

Where he was promptly robbed for his aug by Brandon who was there to get his Ukrainian issued ak12.

[@MrTwindog4]

This rifle looks fantastic! The Steyr Aug with additional rails looks practical and awesome!!

[@ismaelmestas9015]

Lovely the STEYR AUG !!

[@b-radfrommalibu]

I like how all of the sales associates I have seen interviewed at this show so far have not been typical smoke blowing hype men. They have been pretty straight up and to the point. I don't know if it has anything to do with English not being their native language or not but it's refreshing.

I'm from the 80's in Canada and love the Steyr Iconic from my era... much appreciated the vids my US brother .. I love this machine

[@treygregory5360]

I can’t help but think Steyr is behind the curve. It can’t be that hard for them to make their own aftermarket parts like Corvus but have them actually available. We need metal trigger parts, accessories, and options.

[@fastec5]

I just want the CQC rail for the AUG to get made, so I can live out my BF3 fantasies

[@rainiernqc]

My favorite looking rifle of all time. No i never shoot a rifle before but at least for looking, this is the one for me.

[@DWalter.27]

Steyr never brings things they tease to the US. They just throw out teasers and say it'll be here some day and it never materializes. Like that new side rail they keep letting KZbinrs show off, or 300bo.

[@davidgoodnow269]

Dude, if you want a 300 Blackout barrel, just buy a custom barrel blank and have a gunsmith add the gas-port and such!

[@denvarhawks]

James face just lite up and the whole dynamic of the interview changed when he said you'll see it in the states

[@jmd1743]

I wish that they would chamber the AUG in other calibers. 6.5 Swede is boutique but 6.5 CM is available, so they could do is offer 5rd mags for hunting as well as standard capacity magazines. 308 would also be another great caliber.

[@russellweber3466]

What, 6.5 Swede is not boutique, it is quite popular with reloaders and I have no problem getting ammo, at gun shows or bas pro or cabelas.

[@roguestudios2189]

We need this in the states

[@Eric__B]

Maybe we can get a post IWA overview? I’m curious, is it industry only or can anyone go to the show? It doesn’t sound busy in the background, could just be a good mic. Overall, is it mostly aimed at military products or for civilian products. Were there many (any?) other US “journalists” there? Also, any weird stuff you saw or learned?

[@ratscoot]

It’s industry only and is aimed at civilian and police market.

[@SoccerVJ2011]

These shows are usually Invite only

[@Opsgermanysoldier]

@@SoccerVJ2011 industry. But if you have contacts you can easily go. for example a good friend owning an industry close buisness is enough they can get tickets for you ;) For press/media you have to have at least a few followers but not that many. And of course military and police can get a ticket

[@XanthosAcanthus]

After watching your video at the steyr training in Alabama, don't think I'd want to get rid of that foregrip. Actually very useful to clear malfunctions in the chamber.

[@fmonk]

Irrelevant. You can do the same with this setup. The grip is just in a different location.

[@XanthosAcanthus]

@@fmonk it doesn't appear as though it's attached to the barrel anymore.

[@thegougler]

@XanthosAcanthus You can see it is attached @ 2:42 . Also if you don't like the barrel, you always just stick another barrel in it as AUG's have interchangeable barrels.

[@Je3perscre3pers]

Id like an AUG that has bolt hold open with stanag mags

[@hec9912]

If they bring it over that would be great, however I honestly hope they improved the trigger.

[@DocMitchell69]

The trigger is probably the same honestly. But Rat Worx makes a sear that reduces overall travel and supposedly makes a shorter reset. $100 price tag which isn’t bad for what it is, but is kind of hard to get ahold of.

[@donzimmerman5829]

Looks marvelous. The only thing that has prevented me from getting a AUG is the miserable triggers I have encountered. Have they worked to get a good trigger?

[@AnonEMus-cp2mn]

I heard recent production guns have improved triggers, there is also aftermarket options

[@donzimmerman5829]

@@AnonEMus-cp2mn I have looked at them but that moves the AUSs pricing way above its competition - which already have really good triggers. I look forward to seeing a review and trying it for myself. Really prefer the styling of the SWAT configuration.

[@ToastbackWhale]

Three entire militaries plus however many LEO orgs have used the stock AUG trigger for 40 years to great effect. Learn to shoot.

[@mistingpiston6107]

The aug has an ok trigger not great but by no means bad. It's heavy but has a crisp break. At least on my current production model. People that hate on the trigger 9 times out of 10 are trigger snobs and only have Gisele triggers.

[@montecristo345]

Does Steyr make an AUG for us wrong-handed people? One with the charging handle on the right side and ejection on the left side?

[@adamadams6740]

Love to see new version of the AUG!! Send that here please!!

[@AnonEMus-cp2mn]

I fear that if the Sig 556 is any consolation, ‘SWAT’ is just a word for too many rails, ‘tactical’ features, and weight.

[@forestalfrank1074]

It is what Steyr sent to selection for the new Austrian police rifle.

This is just an A3 SA with the old flash hider, new rails bolted on, and a screwed on case deflector. It seems as though it would be easy to bring it to the American market, or even just sell a kit for A3 SA owners. I presume it comes with the suppressor gas plug too.

This aug still has a quick detach barrel and everything? I assume for the US model the can will be separately ordered. And they can just drop the keymod.

[@davidandchristina6153]

I just got an a3 last week. I also don't like the look of this. I don't like the front hand stop contraption compared to the folding foregrip. I haven't kitted it out yet but seems like i will have room for an optic on the top and a light on the front right side. Don't see myself getting any lasers anytime soon.

This thing should be ambidextrous with the charging handle, and it should be able to change out the barrel for a longer barrel and 300 blackout not just 556

[@karolstach6641]

That guy passed the vibe check

[@Frost1945-s7w]

2150 euros to usd is about 2335. So if that’s retail price, I could see it go for probably around the 1900 to 2100 usd price range from venders. One can get a aug a3(not nato stock) for about 1799 not retail. So the price difference between the new one and old one is not bad in the world of aug’s

[@Chilicharger665]

That euro price was also with an added VAT, so we don’t worry about that in the US.
