Does the CQC have bolt hold on the last rd? Very interested NATO CQC that is? Yes, the NATO stock does have last round bolt hold open. ALL AUG's from the STG77, A1 and up to the current A3 have always had last round bolt hold open. Since the 70's up to today, all AUG's have had the last round bolt hold open feature. One last thing... Page Nine belongs to me

Pete ! Will 14" barrels be available to have brakes pinned to them. I love the look of a 14" barrel with the sabre a3 muzzle brake pinned to it! I would definitley buy one. They have plans on making 14" barrels with flash hider and check nuts machined on the barrel profile. That means it will be a one piece barrel, nothing pinned on. Overall length 16 1/2". I did place a order for 100 NFA 14" barrels, hope to have those in a few months. Pete Athens That is a crazy to machine the flash hiders integrally, but a neat idea at the same time! That's how the SIG 550-2 barrel is. |

Pete, any update on Steyr doing 1:7 twist barrels? Will the 24 inch barrels still be 1:7? Josh I just got of the phone with Eric (Steyr Arms AUG Project & Sales Manager) he told me their main focus now is to get the production rolling smoothly and to get AUG A3s out the door. After that is flowing smoothly then they will focus on other barrel/twist options. They do have POs in for 18s, 20s and 24s. They are waiting on 1st articles for approval. Pete Athens |

Pete Athens please try to talk them into doing 1:8 barrels. that is absolutely the most versatile of all twist options. then there would be no need for 1:9 or 1:7 and they could consolidate on just one |

True, and I don't disagree with what Striker did but there are a short metric ton of individuals on this board that are doing the same thing. Not on the scale he was doing business, but they are out kicking up business under the radar. I hope he gets a dealers membership and is back on soon. |

VLTOR has to be pretty happy about this contract. Few companies out there are doing more than just AR receivers. I know the Noveskes all come with VLTOR uppers and now they're doing the Steyr receivers, which is pretty cool.

One thing I learned in the AUG / Gun business there is no way to please everyone Example, Steyr changes flash Hiders. everyone bitches and wants the tulip back Steyr goes back to tulip, now guys wants the newer non tulip flash hider As far as the sling pin goes Steyr has been using that design for over 30 years now without any complaints! We decided to stick with the original Steyr design sling pin. If we would have made it like the MSAR one I'm sure we would have guys jumping on here and saying we copied MSAR! LOL
I personally never had any problems with installing the butt plate or it falling off after the pin was in. That's my butt plate / sling pin experience. Pete Athens |

Pete -
I bought two Sabre A3's from you when they first came out. Love them. Going to acquire a CQC Vltor A3 through you when they are available (will need to sell one of my Sabre A3's to make the old lady happy), as the fore-quad rail Aug has always been my dream. I have also considered getting a NATO stock with the new CQC. Can you detail the differences between this and the standard Aug build? Obviously NATO Mag compatibility - are there other differences one should be aware of when considering this option? All internals otherwise the same and compatible throughout? Thank You. |

Thanks for your continued support! With a NATO stock you have no option for left hand ejection and no last round bolt release. As the previous AUGs you have to release the bolt carrier with the charging handle. The last round bolt catch on the hammer pack is different too. That's about it. Other then that they are reliable as the regular AUGs. Pete Athens |

I have a NATO stock, the charging handle is used to release the bolt catch and chamber a round. There is no bolt release like the "ping pong paddle" on an AR15.

This is the stock from the A3. It has last round bolt hold open AND bolt release. No matter which generation AUG you have, the last round bolt hold open mechanism is built into the trigger pack. The A3 bolt release (as seen above) is built into the stock. The previous generation A1/A2 stocks have last round bolt hold open only. No bolt release tab/button like you see above. With the A1/A2, as explained by others, you have to manipulate the charging handle to release the bolt. |

I finally got to shoot my new A3 (from Pete) this morning. As I'm still waiting on the intended optic to arrive, I threw an old Aimpoint Comp (not a Comp M2, or even a Comp M, but a mid 90s Comp) with the gigantic 10 MOA dot. Not exactly what one would choose to make pretty groups with.
I shot a few to zero it at 50 yards, then swung onto a fresh target and shot five rounds for a group. Ammo was my practice handload of Varget and 55 FMJ. It made a 5/8" group. I know 5/8" at 50 doesn't sound incredible, but considering the throwaway bullets, the sighting equipment's reticle that obliterated the target, and having only a handful of rounds through the gun at that point, I was pretty impressed with the rifle. And no- You can't please everyone. Staying just on Steyrs, I know their Scout has had at least three different bolt handles, and I've watched as everybody says they want the one they aren't making at the moment. |

What would you guys want to see come out of Steyr? Pete Athens Id like to see the versions of the SF scope and the A1 scope that could replace the A3 top rail. These two options could allow a A3 owner the opportunity to turn his A3 into a SF version or a A1 version just buy changing the scope. This in spades!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 |

Lots of guys told us they would love to have an A2 Style Picatinny Rail On the AUG A3s.
Many complained the A3 AUG just looked to "plain" So we got busy and designed and prototyped a new AUG A3 Top Rail. The top rail is as long as the standard AUG A3 Rail but has the same height as the Steyr Military High Rail. It will also have a Quick Detach VLTOR Sling Swivel. Let us know what you guys think and if there is anything you would change on the rail, of course it will be Mil Spec Anodized! BTW, got to have the extra length in the front for the Sling Swivel. Personally I love the rail! In case this one doesn't suit all we are working on a couple of other A3 top rail options. Thanks, Pete Athens www.pjs-steyraug.com
