AUG if you have to buy one first. You can revel in the pure, sweet Austrianness of it.

This thing is entirely ambi and has a nice trigger from the factory. Also suppresses well- https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/dw/image/v2/BDCK_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-ctd-master-catalog/default/dwe4e379bf/large/29867.jpg?sw=800&sh=800 View Quote |

I love my 2 Travor SAR’s what can an Aug do better then a SAR with Geissele trigger and parts from manticore arms and MWI I would imagine the Tavor 7 will have a big aftermarket following as well. Plus isn’t IWI supposed to be releasing a 20” 308 1/10 barrel eventually or was that just rumor?

What about the AUG do you like better than the RDB besides the track record? I have 2 AUGS and had 3 Tavors in the past. The RDB seems to be leagues ahead, IMO. View Quote |

Quoted: The reliability track record of the AUG over the RDB is a big thing, but in other issues, I don’t like that the RDB doesn’t have any markings on the gas adjustment knob, so going back to a previous position means either counting turns from the stop, or making marks. Also don’t like not being able to easily check or access the chamber if there is a problem. Also prefer the ease of the AUG disassembly, especially the barrel removal. On the RDB, you have to pull a bunch of pins, many of which can be tight. View Quote As for the gas block I agree but it doesn't seem to be a problem. You could easily mark it. The AUG barrel does come out easily but at the expense of weight and how often does one need to rapidly remove a barrel? |

I like the bullpup concept, and would like one. But I really don't care for any of the offerings out there. I like the look of the RFB the best, but, Kel Tec.

Quoted:
Don't freak out, but it's a Kel Tec RDB. Fully ambi 5.56 bullpup, downward ejection like a P90, suppressed extremely well due to the gas block, accurate, nice trigger, lightweight, etc. I swear if another manufacturer like Ruger for example made this thing 100% identical just about everyone would want one. The price is right too at $800~ View Quote |

Aug! NATO for me.
But get a file after the safety or it will cut you like one of those crazy mexican girlfriends they tell stories about. |

Another vote for the RDB, if for no other reason other than that it suppresses way better than either an AUG or Tavor.
It's lighter too. |

AUG
I bet would be a lot more accurate and has a proven history of excellent performance. |

You probably already know this, but the Aug with the NATO stock will accept either the Aug mags or the NATO standard 5.56 mags. View Quote |

I definitely can’t fit aug mags in my NATO stock. Well, I can probably force them.
Read what you just quoted. |

$2000+ I'd get an SR15 Mod 2, unless you already have one.
For a bullpup, a Tavor SAR in 5.56, the old configuration. Either that, or the AUG A3... Whichever you can get cheaper. I see three AUG's for sale locally, cheaper than any Tavor... Including a NATO stock one for a flat $1000. I'm honestly considering picking that up... |

Standard stock takes AUG mags or Aug Pmags
NATO stock take AR patern mags Neither interchange with each other. You can however swap stocks, so you can go from AUG mag to AR mag. The mag well/compatibility is in the stock not the receiver. Quoted: IT is correct. Here is a quote from the STEYR ARMS website, " The rifle is available in either the standard version that accepts genuine Steyr AUG magazines or as a NATO version that accepts standard STANAG (AR) magazines."

Steyr markings on the receiver, just behind the gas plug. It's local, so I'll have in in hand to inspect before buying. |

Obviously we have a disconnect somewhere. The Aug I bought a couple of months ago came with PMAGS and I bought a couple of the MAGPUL Aug mags. Both fit fine. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I definitely can’t fit aug mags in my NATO stock. Well, I can probably force them. Read what you just quoted. Standard Pmags came with it, or the Steyr-pattern Pmags? Tried USGI? Those might lock in to an original stock, but I doubt they would feed. Steyr mags shouldn't even fit in a STANAG magwell... The NATO stock is not supposed to accept Steyr mags. If it does with Magpul's Steyr-pattern mag, then I have no idea what to tell you, it's an interesting coincidence, or an intentional feature of the mag. The original stock will not accept STANAG mags, otherwise, the NATO stock never would've come about. |

I guess I am the only person here who thinks the Aug is fugly as shit.

I have a STG77 SA, it is amazingly accurate, if you can see it you can hit it. Balance is where you want it. I looked at the Tavor and it was heavier to the rear.
That said, Steyr does not really care about you or what you want. That does matter. I love my AUG, but wish they cared more about the people that want their product in the US. |

Doc I’ve had both the Aug with NATO stock and the tavor. I kept the tavor and got rid of the aug. aug felt dated and ergonomics weren’t as good. I really like the tavor especially suppressed. It balances very nicely.
