Interesting.
It would allow 'good' light placement. What's holding it on? How much does it weigh? Does it affect the balance of the AUG much? Expected cost? It obviously negates the use of the quick barrel removal as well as the OE folding VFG, but I could see this possibly allowing a better freehand long distance stance than the original, or of course, for those really liking adding crap onto their guns.. ;) |

Guess not - not sure if that second pic in the thread was there before or not now. :) It still looks as if the 'cutout' on the top of it wraps the OE rail though, which would seem to not let it rotate.. ?? |

Pretty nice work there. it's just not my cup of tea. It would make a nice add on for a SPR style AUG.

Hi everyone, thank you for the opinions. Some comments from my side… The handguard (for 550 mm and 508 mm barrels) is produced from the whole piece aluminum applied in aircraft building. It is installed instead of a standard handle and is fixed by a nipple at the end of the barrel.Handguard’s special design allows servicing gas piston without removing the handguard itself. It also allows using a release button and is removed together with the barrel. The weight without side rails is 350 gram. Bipods, forend grip could be fixed on the rails. Moreover, the hand guard allows holding AUG in the hands in max comfortable position. At the distance of 100 meters, no influence on hit point displacement is detected. The handguard can be without side rails, the side rails can be used when necessary. In case on any questions do not hesitate to contact me personally.

I'm assuming this is easily reversed, in the event you'd like to go back to the original Steyr VFG setup?
I'm liking it the more I look at it! |

Very cool design, thank you for sharing this. Is your AUG A3 semiauto or select-fire/fullauto? How hot does the handguard become with sustained firing?

Thereto you should step by step: 1.turn the compensator and next nipple off 2. take the frontal centering washer off 3.extract the pin which fixing the handguard at the VFG attaching point That’s all ))) |

Hi! We have not 16 barrels in Ukraine, that's why we don't produce the handguard for such barrel.

Looking good!
I would love to see a shorter version for use on a 16" barrel that incorporates the factory Steyr vertical grip (but non-folding). Maybe with Keymod attachment points. Would allow a Surefire m300 or x300 to be mounted at either the 12 o'clock or 9 o'clock position the ability for thumb activation. |

Hello!In our country the 16’’ barrels are prohibited, but I could develop and produce the handguard for such barrel if somebody provides me the necessary dimensions.
