Quoted: So I've been wondering about this. American's love of the Steyr AUG is evident in sales. Why do so many choose the AUG over the AR? I can certainly answer this question for myself, but I cannot speak for others. For me, it's a simple matter of the superior reliability and parts durability, especially in adverse conditions over an AR. The AR is designed to have parts that are easily replaceable. The AUG is designed so that parts simply do not break. They can last significantly higher round counts than the AR before parts start breaking. You can shoot an AUG over the course of your lifetime without needing to replace anything. What about you? It's it because you know the AUG is simply a cooler/superior platform? Soon enough, will the AUG be the new "America's rifle?"  What are you talking about??

As I read through OP's replies....it's pretty obvious that HE likes AUG's better than AR's. Trying to say Americans like them more, and buy them more than AR's is comical....

Quote HistoryQuoted: What are you smoking, OP? "Evident in sales." Oh, so Steyr is selling millions of AUGs a year? And there are over 10,000,000 AUGs in private hands in this country? And, please, regale us with tales of that fabulous trigger. My kids' Nerf guns have better triggers. The AUG isn't a bad rifle per se, but it's certainly nowhere near as popular as the AR platform. No, he’s right. Steyr sells a lot more AUG’s than they sell AR-15’s. |

I had one they’re great, but when I needed to free up some cash it went …. And I’d never be without an AR willingly
Of the peolpe that do have them I’d bet very few of the choose it OVER an AR, I’m sure the majority of AUG owners bought an AR first and would sell the AUG before their go-to AR |

If the Geissele trigger hadn't dried up on the vine the AUG would have gained quite a bit of popularity, it's crappy trigger is the biggest thing holding it back.

I own an Aug. An original imported Steyr Aug with permanently attached optic. I also own AR15s/M16s.
I confess I have never had a failure to feed or extract with the Aug. I also haven't put that many rounds downrange with it. IMO both are excellent platforms for anyone to own. At ranges I rarely see other Augs so not sure where OPs numbers come from. |
