I'm trying to decide if I should spend money on AUG mags or a NATO stock/trigger pack.
How well does the AUG work with a NATO stock.
Will there be a "parts count" issue when using a nato stock on a US AUG?

Keep an eye on this thread. The question has been asked recently but we are waiting on 922r clarification.

Exactly, Steyr Austria should be shooting me an email any day now, stating how many US parts are in the A3 and which ones.

Jack at Steyr Arms didn't have the answer but said he would forward the question to Austria

I know from the pic's Afterworkninja posted of his A3, the bolt carrier is U.S. made. That's one towards the count. ETA: Albertr pointed out that those markings are a serial# and that the carrier is indeed an imported part.

If you convert to AR mags and stick to U.S. made ones in particular, those count as three more parts.

Also TPD sells a U.S. made trigger and disconnector for the NATO stock. That's two more if those aren't already U.S.made.

What picture? I believe my A3 has an imported carrier. In addition, Pete from PJ's believe they're imported as well.

Thanks.

Pics in this thread show a bolt carrier with "1USA131" stamped on the side of it. I would assume that it's U.S. made since it has U.S. markings on it

I think the only ones who know for sure are Steyr and Sabre.

Thanks for pointing out the thread.

I guess I'll sit tight and see how things play out before I purchase a NATO stock.

I see. They're also marked "NOT" immediately underneath the USA marking. Kind of contradictory! I'm curious to know and hopefully we'll get confirmation soon. It makes sense that they wouldn't make it in the US if they can make easier parts like the trigger and disconnector.

Are styer A3 barrels interchangable with MSAR rifles?

Steyr aug a3 barrels are built to the same spec as Austrian Steyr Aug a1/2 barrels

if those barrels fit the A3 will, but MSAR will not say if they interchange for liability reasons

Beat me to it.  People who have tried it say no.

Yeah, kinda confusing. My AXR has an imported carrier and has no markings like that. Only Steyr and Sabre really know.

A3 bolt carrier is imported. It has regular austrian proof marks. 1USAXXX is a serial number.
