I have the pop on and off brass deflector.  I like it . But easy to knock off or get it to slide down the rifle. So I took a Velcro  kit and solved it.  The kit is a roll that has the tape backing.  For this works great.  Problem solved with me using this style deflector.  Next is I got an AUG cleaning kit in.  Well the oil bottle is slightly to tall. Pressing up the tab cover.  I could get the butt pad in but really had to press into it.  I saw a post on a search where this is common. The guy drill a hole in the cover for the oil bottle to stick through. I did the same thing . It works.  Yes my oil bottle top was screwed on all the way.   I thought the same thing.  Lol.  I blotched drill the hole everything slipped.  But it’s all good.  Attached File

Did they change the height of the oil bottles recently? Mine had no problem fitting with the cover on. Sometimes you have to jiggle the bottle a little for it to slide all the way into the slot

I tried the manticore deflector and didn't care for it.
I ended up buying another corvio defense deflector.
I have the corvio to replace it.
I use them on both my AUGs.
Expensive but worth it.

My bottle leaked so I ditched it years ago. Earlier today, before seeing this thread, I decided to find a tiny graphite container. Found a pound of powder and ten .5ml needle point bottles for less than $20 at Walmart.com. Should be good for a while. 😃

I 3D printed one for testing, then printed a couple more from carbon fiber.

Looks & fits good, need to see if it works.

That’s a fine looking rifle! Pretty much the perfect AUG.

Recently I started wanting one in purple for some reason.

@WarDawg

I think you have the oil bottle in backwards. It fits the other way and is right side up, thus less prone to leak, when the rifle is stored muzzle up. Didn’t immediately occur to me as mine is long gone.

I just used a small strip of the fuzzy side Velcro behind the ejection port. No more little half moon cuts

That doesn’t save you from eating a fired casing to the face when you forget that the AUG doesn’t have a built in casing deflector and you switch shoulders…

Different problem- one is an appearance issue, the other is functional.
a loaded gun won’t set you free, so you say…

I made a couple a year or two ago from PLA, one decided to break apart and a chunk of plastic jammed up my AUG, had to take it apart to fix it and get the shard out.  It was the little piece that fit inside the ejection port I believe.

However I now have a better printer of my own, and printed new ones from glass filled nylon, so I am hoping that holds together better.  

Almost want to just chop off the back end of the 3D deflector design and simply glue it to the stock, and thus keep any plastic out of the ejection port.  Just not sure about which adhesive to use…

The Aug is a right handed gun. I don’t try to make it’s something it’s not. That’s why we have AR’s

The carbon fiber ones I printed are so rigid I did not think they were going to bend / flex enough to get it in the port.

If I was inclined to cut the locking tabs off I would put a bead of RTV adhesive between it and the stock. Strong bond, flexible and does not hurt the stock if you want to remove it.
