Hey Pete, glad to see you around the forums. I've had an AUG A3 that's been pretty hard to charge from the beginning but it's not exhibiting the bushing issue. I might have about 1K through it and it's been awesome in the accuracy department. I've noticed the issue gradually getting better, but does it improve even further or are they just generally tough to charge? Looking forward to the CQC. Always wanted one of those! v/r, Jeff Hello Jeff, Your AUG A3 should charge very smooth. Its possible your charging handle is a few thousands oversized causing it to drag when it's tilted back while charging. If you like you can send the receiver to us and we will check it out for you, of course free of charge. Pete Athens |

If someone wanted an A3 with a 20" barrel we would do that for them. Pictured below one of our AUG A3s with Steyr Military High Rail & Bayonet Lug going to one of our great US Service Man at the Marine Corps Exchange In Quantico, VA!! As always we offer free installation for any AUG upgrades to all Military & LE personnel along with Military/LE discount pricing. Big thanks to all of our Military/LE personnel!! Pete Athens

Ah, close enough for me. I can add a longer muzzle brake to reach the minimum 30 in. requirement for california (doesn't have to be permanent, could be met with even a piece of wooden dowel duct taped to the end of the stock)
Thank you PJ. |

I'll ask this another way. Honestly, I would prefer not to buy the adaptor my suppressor brand offers and keep it simple. Will later barrels be threaded 1/2x28 to accommodate the American market or can the barrels be threaded to 1/2x28 upon customer request only?
Thank you. |

Looks like it just goes onto the barrel and you tighten some sorta screw and go to town I even remember seeing someone put one on a MSAR once. Mil gets good pricing on a lot of stuff but joes can't use that to get stuff everyone else can't it has to be old Uncle Sam buying prohibited stuff. |

Pete Athens I've noticed that the charging handle is a bit sticky, especially when the trigger is needing to be set. I'm assuming that will get better as I get more than 120 rounds down it. Mine is on a NATO stock if that matters. |

To my knowledge, they all say Steyr Arms on the upper side, but the underside says whether it's Sabre Defense or Vltor. I just got one, S/N 3USA9xx, and the upper is marked like yours, but on the underside it says Sabre Defense. Also, from what I understand, the 3USA guns are SD receivers, while the Vltor ones are marked 4USA. |
