KNS Precision is well known for their adjustable gas plug for AK47/AK74 derivatives This year at the 2025 NRAAM convention in Atlanta GA they debut an expansion of this line into a unique platform Their new unnamed gas plug for the Steyr AUIG brings the same adjustability they are known for into the Austrian bullpup world with a drop in gas regulator While this part is not yet available for purchase it promises a substantial increase in settings over the OEM 3 position gas plug It has 2 gross adjustment settings and per these 2 adjustment settings there are 14 fine settings allowing for a total of 28 different gas adjustments According to the folks over at KNS Precision Steyr USA has been running this widget through its paces and the feedback has been positive thus far According to a KNS team member this regulator functions very similarly to the KNS Precision gas Czech valve with 1 less gross setting It is worth noting that as of now this gas piston does not have a “closed” setting which frankly is impractical This really helps bring the AUG into a new light in the age of common-use suppressors Each suppressor has different gas blowback properties making the simple 3 position system less than optimal which this product effortlessly solves Whether you are using a flow through can or traditional baffle design - this will in theory give you the flexibility to tune your AUG exactly where you need to be I think this shows great growth for KNS Precision as well - their continued willingness to bring their gas regulators into new platforms while working directly with the rifle’s manufacturer ensuring reliable operation We see a constant race to challenge the AR15 as consumers look for alternate platforms I am excited to see this product take shape and even more excited to see what the folks over at KNS Precision do next More by Kirk Foreman Stories of adventure and the coolest product releases delivered straight to your inbox Steyr’s Pro Hunter III is likely the best do-all hunting rifle you can buy for around a grand Steyr is an Austrian company from an Austrian town of the same name. It’s been making firearms since 1864; before that it was making swords and armor for knights in the middle ages. In 1887 a dude by the name Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher signed on to work there, and much of the rest is interesting, world-influencing history that you can read here. Today the company makes bolt-action rifles for hunters Every Steyr I’ve ever fired over the years has been a model of European quality and craftsmanship. Though the term “quality” is tough to describe and evidently even tougher to produce like when you slam the door of a Mercedes for the first time Some of these traits might be described as tight—the opposite of jiggly—solid and precise in manufacture and assembly there’s a good chance it’s going to be accurate It’s got everything hunters need with no unnecessary aesthetics It’s of proper weight—-not too heavy to carry yet not too light to shoot well—and it’s among the most inherently safe rifles ever made thanks to its fire-control system. some of those features include a stock that was smartly designed It features an aluminum bedding chassis that provides the platform for the rifle’s accuracy Externally it’s my idea of the perfect hunting stock with its rubberized grip panels that are quiet and easy to hold on to I like that its forearm is squared so that it can be rested easily yet it tapers all the way to the end so it isn’t obnoxious it would be an adjustable comb because scopes have become so large and tend to sit higher in relation to the bore these days The rifle would do well with a comb to match. The .308 I most recently tested wore a 20-inch cold-hammer forged barrel This type of manufacturing process is generally regarded as the best (with all things being equal) because less honing is needed to smooth out imperfections left by button rifling I like the subtle hammer-spiral finish that adds some class and uniqueness It’s threaded for a suppressor and comes with a thread protector The Pro Hunter is magazine-fed from a detachable I like the fact that two tabs on either side of the magazine must be depressed to remove it (this mitigates the chance of it popping out inadvertently) and that it can be loaded by pushing it straight up rather than rocking it in It features a stop to allow hand-feeding directly into the chamber while keeping the magazine in the well It is much higher quality than dozens of detachable box mag rifles on the market at the moment The only concern I found was in mounting a scope; Because the bolt’s handle is curved and because the eyepieces of many of today’s top-end, 30mm scopes are very thick, I had to try a few scopes before I found one that allowed the bolt room to work properly without being mounted silly high. (I like my scopes mounted as low on the bore as possible.) So just be aware of this before buying a new scope and rings for it. All in all however, if a buddy says he has about $1,000 to spend on a new rifle, I recommend the Pro Hunter III every time. Pros: perfect hunting rifle in size and weight; accurate; detachable box magazine; very safe; great trigger; grippy stock Stories of adventure and the latest product releases delivered straight to your inbox Subscribe to the Field Ethos Print Journal Connecting decision makers to a dynamic network of information Bloomberg quickly and accurately delivers business and financial information an Austrian maker of diesel engines used in tanks and military boats says it can easily double output to meet European demand amid an arms race that’s lifted its stock by more than 540% this year The company already made 61% of its €41.7 million ($45.3 million) of revenue last year from deliveries to the defense industry and that share is set to increase in coming years The stock shot up as much as 76% on Friday ABB has entered into a strategic collaboration with Austria-based Engineering Software Steyr GmbH (ESS) to develop powerful simulation tools that will transform automotive paint shop operations while reducing costs by up to 30 percent ABB will take a minority investment in ESS. Financial details of the investment were not disclosed “Delivering faster and more energy efficient solutions for the paint process is the final piece of the puzzle in digitalizing the manufacturing transition in the automotive industry,” said Marc Segura “The innovative solutions we are developing with ESS will cut vehicle development time by up to a month and generate cost savings of up to 30 percent a manufacturer producing 300,000 vehicles has the potential to cut CO2 emissions by nearly 17,000 tons* annually – equivalent to flying an airliner around the Earth 19 times**.” A typical automotive paint shop process consists of more than 20 individual steps from degreasing and electrocoating to sealing Each step is subject to a variety of parameters – such as material viscosity and drying time – that must be tested and optimized before series production of a new model can begin it can be expensive and time consuming to perform each task “We recognize how crucial it is for all players — large medium and small companies — to have access to the right digital tools for innovation the complexity of such tools in the market makes it difficult for smaller companies to leverage the power of digital We're committed to leveling the playing field by making the simulation tech accessible to all manufacturers and stay competitive in a demanding industry.” The partnership will also enable customers to benefit from ABB Robotics’ extensive expertise within the automotive paint shop and their success with smart automation solutions such as PixelPaint an inkjet-style vision-controlled paint head that reproduces precise details and the RB1000i-S digitally-enabled atomizer that achieves up to 99 percent transfer efficiency meaning less paint and materials are required ABB will integrate ESS’s technology into ABB’s RobotStudio® the world’s most popular offline programming and simulation tool for robotic applications * ABB/ESS internal analysis with 100kWh energy saving at typical energy mix plus 2.8kg waste and overcoating reduction per vehicle body for a total saving of 16,860 tons of CO2 per annum assuming annual production of 300,000 vehicles.** Calculation assumes 250-seat Boeing 787-8 with industry average emissions of 142.25g per mile per seat (IBA analysis) ABB's website uses cookies.

It has rubber pads made into the stock which will not come out. The THB heavy barreled rifle was there too, as was the Scout II in FDE. I have written about that gun previsouly and am extremely fond of it We can’t talk about Steyr without mentioning the AUG A version with the new 9mm conversion kit was on display It feeds from a clear waffle magazine with the same external dimensions as the standard AUG mag One final little surprise was the Spartan Precision CP Brace shown here supporting the SSG M1 in .338 Lapua Magnum That little brace spans between the legs of the tripod to set up an alternate firing point The top of the tripod is still available as a mounting point for the rifle if the shooter needs to be standing That is a great convenience feature for people who spend long hours on the gun but the rear leg of the tripod can work as a rear support for the rifle stock This configuration with a small squeeze bag braced against the stock was extremely stable There was none of the wobble that comes from having an unsupported stock when shooting standing on a tripod This is a very clever product and I think we will be seeing more of this soon among precision shooters and military/LE snipers More by Daniel Y Is an updated AUG going to come setup with the MK2 rail kit and the brass deflector, or are those separate accessories you’ll have to purchase? Also, any word on when they’ll release the AUG STANAG lower with the bolt release? Steyr should consider shipping / manufacturing their Breeze integrally suppressed rifle in the US. Their design makes the design more compact than a screw on silencer gun and it has Steyr quality to it. Now that Blaser sells integrally silenced barrels for their R-8 in the US, the Breeze needs to be available here. By Jeff Johnston, FE Hunting & Shooting Editor There have been some great rifle actions produced over the years, many of which are still used by riflemen across the world. As you and I both know, we are highly discerning—snobbish, actually—when it comes to our rifles, and rifle actions don’t withstand the test of time if they aren’t inherently accurate, safe, strong, and reliable no matter what. Hell, I’ve written about Jeff Cooper’s Steyr Scout rifle several times over the years, and come to find out, I didn’t fully understand it either. Typical writer. But what I now realize is that everytime I’ve shot one, it’s as smooth as glass, it never has any problems, and it’s always accurate. But I never really considered that the Safe Bolt System may be the safest bolt action ever made in terms of mechanical trigger safety, jam prevention, and catastrophic failure mitigation. Honestly a video would be a better medium to quickly explain the SBS system, but I’ll do my best. The SBS’s bolt, safety, and chamber form a system to 1. Keep the gun from going bang when it’s not supposed to; 2. Ensure that the bolt functions and locks up smoothly despite dirt and grime, and 3.Prevent the action from killing you if your drunk Uncle Robbie double-charges a few handloads just to see what they’ll do. The bolt body is coated in a proprietary finish that’s as slick as Clark Griswold’s sled spray, and it features grooves that give grime somewhere to go and something other to do than seize the action. Coordinating machined edges within the receiver are designed to clean these grooves if they become impacted. So working the bolt self-cleans the action. Finally, the bolt and two-lug bolt head are made of stout-ass steel from bar stock. But I didn’t realize there are secondary lugs behind the primary locking lugs that engage a rotating “pressure collar” to ensure that any gas that may explode rearward due to one of Robbie’s rocket rounds are directed in a controlled fashion through the port holes in the bolt, and not through your noggin. But of course, your safety is none of my damn business, so do as you will. As for me, I’m headed out to shoot my crossbow, AKA, the human mousetrap. It's not the first gun to wear the name “Steyr Scout,” but it keeps the features that made the original memorable while improving it in concrete ways It's a one-of-a-kind blend of hunting rifle Over the last several months I have used this rifle extensively Disclosures: Over the course of my Steyr Scout series I have developed a relationship with the company I am an unabashed fan of Steyr rifles at this point and have a high opinion of the guys who work there The First Look article covered many of the features of the Scout Mk II Be sure to read that article for the initial introduction to this rifle as well as my articles on the original Steyr Scout if you want even more background on this family of guns TFB FIRST LOOK: The New Steyr Scout Mk II TFB Review: Steyr Scout 6.5 Creedmoor (Part 1) TFB Review: What Optic For A Steyr Scout? (Part 2) TFB Review: The Steyr Scout 6.5 Creedmoor In The Field (Part 3) we will jump into the meat of the review without much preamble One of the selling points of a .308 over a 6.5 Creedmoor (or other more specialized caliber) is cheaper ammo but historically speaking preppers like the .308 in a bolt gun or DMR because belted machine gun ammo could be used as an alternate ammo source if needed so I shot a variety of ammo ranging from M80 NATO ball ammo to match-grade boat tail hollow points The best group of the test was with IMI Razorcore 175-grain boat tail hollow point ammo The first three rounds were just over a quarter of an inch and the fourth and fifth rounds brought the group up to 0.79 inches That kind of accuracy wasn't an outlier It put five rounds of Red Army Standard steel case FMJ into 1.08 inches It also averaged right at 1 MOA for 5-round groups with a cheap hand load I usually shoot in my PTR-91 (mixed headstamp brass 168-grain Speer BTHP with thrown charges of 8208 XBR) It also shoots Armscor 168-grain just under 1 MOA for five-round groups A lot of the credit for this accuracy goes to the excellent trigger Steyr puts in this rifle It's a light 2-stage trigger with an extremely consistent break This one measures consistently at three points I also employed the superb Leupold Mark 4HD 6-24x50 scope (review forthcoming but it is a pretty exceptional optic) to take out as much human error as possible The Scout Mk II is a very lightweight rifle One of the trade-offs with light rifles is the heat build-up Guns generally shoot worse when they are hot than when they are not Target rifles help mitigate that heat by using heavy barrel profiles which can handle more rounds fired before the heat becomes an issue That’s all well and good if the rifle is only carried from the truck to the firing line but is not ideal on the side of a mountain I fired 5-round groups for accuracy testing Some of those groups were larger than I was expecting and I discussed the accuracy results with my friend Jim from Steyr He told me that their factory accuracy testing is done with 3- or 4-round groups I decided to do a little testing to see if the new design features made a difference or not One test was checking to see how much the group expanded when the gun was very hot I fired a ten-round group as fast as I could while maintaining accuracy The ammo I was using was the bulk reloads mentioned earlier which typically turned in around 1 MOA groups for 5 rounds That is an excellent ten-round group for any rifle and is phenomenal for a lightweight hunting rifle like this I was so shocked that I repeated the experiment The next ten-round group measured 1.59 inches The rifle had not cooled fully from the previous group There was also substantial mirage coming from the silencer which did not help with aiming Steyr’s changes to the Scout Mk II seem to make a major difference in how the rifle shoots when it is hot The one-piece receiver and additional airflow around the barrel seem to make quite a difference and a very light barrel contour is one of the ways that Steyr keeps that weight low But the thin barrel does not have enough meat on it for the standard 5/8x24 thread pattern used on most .308 rifles which generally required an adapter to another thread pitch to use common silencers 1/2x28 may not be the most common for this application but it is still reasonably available The SilencerCo Scythe-Ti is an extremely light suppressor weighing in at only 8.6 ounces with the anchor brake That weight reduction comes from the tubeless design and full titanium construction Steyr designed the Scout to be a quick-handling rifle that points easily and I did not want to mess up that weight and balance with a heavy suppressor SilencerCo also sells a titanium direct thread adapter in 1/2x28 so there was no need for additional weight or potential tolerance stacking with a 1/2x28-to-5/8x24 thread adapter With the SilencerCo Scythe-Ti attached the groups shifted 1 MIL low and 0.5 MIL right from the unsuppressed zero This was more of an academic observation though because I kept the silencer attached for essentially the entire review It is just that much more fun to shoot with a can I decided to throw some accessories at the Scout Mk II to see if anything made sense First up was a small cleaning kit to fit inside the storage compartment I grabbed a Boresnake and a little packet of ALG Go Juice (pilfered from their SHOT Show booth) and There are better cleaning kits than this but it is enough to get by in a pinch Another opportunity was on the new MLOK sections under the handguard I grabbed an Amazon-grade Arca plate and installed it just a little too wide to allow the built-in handguard to open But for someone who would shoot from a tripod but never use the integrated bipod it is an option I bought a couple of two-round holders backed with hook-and-loop from Amazon I really like using shell cards on shotguns and wanted to try something similar on this gun The ones on the stock did not provide much and I promptly removed them but I kind of liked the “match saver” with two rounds set right by the action Sliding one more round into the action was easy and consistent With the magazine cutoff feature this could also be a way to have different bullets on hand and quickly accessible (e.g Part of the allure of the scout rifle concept is that it can do most jobs well enough while still being easy to carry all day long One way to think about the Scout rifle is as the DMR of bolt actions A DMR is precision-oriented but still capable of doing other AR jobs too but still can handle jobs traditionally associated with semiautos Its bread and butter work is hunting and controlling predators or varmints on a ranch but it would still be reasonably capable in a defensive situation as well But if I had to choose a modern hunting rifle to take into an uncertain situation I would take the Scout Mk II over any other option I would still take an AR if that was my only consideration but that’s not enough rifle for larger North American game animals and depending on the configuration may not be appropriate for distance use One morning at the range I decided to mount a red dot and run some drills 1-R-1 and Mozambique drills are not typical fare of hunting rifles The bolt runs well with rapid cycling and all rounds fed and ejected without drama Times were slower than would be expected with a semi auto but still faster than seemed probable with a bolt action I also took the Scout Mk II out on a range day with one of my friends who is an avid shooter, but not a scout rifle guy. He also shot in the prior test of Scout rifle optics. The Scout Mk II was wearing a Trijicon Credo 1-10x28 FFP when he shot it Transitioning between small steel plates set up around a valley was fast and every time he pulled the trigger there was a hit I had him shoot a PTR-91 at the same group of targets while standing Even though there was no bolt to run between shots he hit less consistently and slower with the PTR than the Scout The light weight and fast handling of the Scout Mk II is tough to quantify but shooting in the field in positions other than rested on a bench it is obvious The Steyr Scout Mk II executes the core tasks of a rifle But there are a lot of other bolt action rifles out there that are accurate and reliable What really differentiates the Scout from the rest of the pack is all of the additional features hidden on the gun I forget there are flip-up irons on the gun because they are so tucked away but they are available if they are ever needed and the ability to cut off the magazine feed for single loading are very handy The stock also conceals a special storage space in the pistol grip which When the Scout is set to the “super safety” position the bolt handle locks down tight against the action to avoid snags the bolt handle pops back out for easy manipulation All of these little details add up to a rifle that shines when it is in the field This is not a gun that should spend its life shooting groups off of a bench or pretending to be a sniper rifle It is a tool for people who spend time outdoors and every effort has been made to make it easy to live with without compromising the accuracy or reliability These guns retail at the $2,000 price point because they are made in Europe and held to high standards That extra expense is well worth it to people who spend a lot of time afoot with a rifle in hand though it may not seem necessary to the kind of hunter that is never more than half a mile from their vehicle The Scout Mk II reminds me of a working dog you can feel that this gun’s spirit craves action It wants to be in your hand on a backcountry trail or bouncing around in a muddy truck on some forgotten logging road This is not a gun bred for sitting around the house or winning pageants It is a gun that wants and deserves a few bumps and scratches earned in pursuit of wild game or defending livestock from predators Don’t buy this rifle if you never leave the pavement But if you do tend to find yourself miles from cell service on a regular basis you really should consider taking along a Steyr Scout TFB is proud to partner with Silencer Shop as our preferred vendor for all of your NFA needs.

Steyr is the Austrian firearm manufacturer that makes the iconic AUG bullpup carbine used by military and L&E units all over the world was the result of a collaboration with the late Lt Jeff Cooper to create what Cooper viewed as the “Queen of the battlefield,” the ultimate battle rifle. Cooper insisted it be no longer than 1 meter in length and have a spare magazine and integral bipod onboard; he wanted it chambered in a caliber readily capable of killing men past 400 yards he wanted it to be of “scout rifle concept” design which is to say he wanted its optic to be mounted toward the muzzle to allow better access to the chamber and mainly to enhance the peripheral vision of the shooter while on the scope by keeping both eyes open and has been selling its original Scout rifle until 2023 when it was updated with a few small technological enhancements that became available over the last 25 years. Pros: accurate, compact, back-up iron sights, integral bipod, accepts nearly any type of optic, spare magazine bay, the ultimate whitetail hunting rifle Cons: the Scout shooting concept is misunderstood and unpopular with many shooters, therefore forward-mounted optics can look funny; sling mounts need to be updated Steyr has announced the US edition of the Steyr DMR at EnforceTac 2025 bringing a more modular and AR-friendly design to their precision rifle lineup This new version features a 16-inch cold hammer forged barrel AR-style safety and a B5 Bravo stock with full AR stock compatibility this rifle is optimized for the US market offering Steyr’s renowned accuracy with the customization options shooters demand How does it stack up against other semi-auto DMR platforms Buy the Clothes James is wearing in this video from 5.11 here https://www.511tactical.com/tfb.html PLEASE check out our Patreon and Subscribe Star pages if you enjoy our program We give away hundreds of dollars of gear a month to our supporters www.patreon.com/tfbtv www.utreon.com/c/tfbtv www.subscribestar.com/tfbtv NOTE: These giveaways are not affiliated with or in any way endorsed by YouTube and TFBTV is solely responsible for the giveaways mentioned in this video and this description No purchase required for gear worth over $250 https://www.facebook.com/TheFirearmBlogTV/ https://www.instagram.com/TFBTV/ https://www.reddit.com/r/tfbtv/ - Ventura Munitions - www.venturamunitions.com - Blue Alpha Gear - www.bluealphabelts.com - Top Gun Supply - www.topgunsupply.com NRA/Louisiana State Police certified concealed weapons instructor 2012-present Maxim Magazine's MAXIMum Warrior Key West Cinco De Mayo Taco Eating Competition Lawyer Instagram: gunshorts Twitter: @jjreeves More by James Reeves Man if they can get this into the American market for under 3k It will be a real disruptor Martin from Austria Arms and I put three of the most talked-about 7.62 battle rifles head-to-head in a real-world accuracy test modular rifles from top-tier manufacturers—but how do they actually perform on paper We shot them side-by-side with the same ammo One of these rifles is supposed to be 1 MOA accurate Why not take the human factor out of the equation and lock the guns down in a vise That will give you a more accurate reading for accuracy Still waiting for my Plasma Rifle in the 40 Watt Range Gun tech hasn't moved the needle in a long time Steyr just dropped a bombshell at Enforce Tac 2025—a 7.62x39 AUG By blending elements of the .300 BLK and 5.56 gas systems Steyr has cracked the code for a reliable and effective AK-caliber bullpup This new variant is aimed at countries with surplus 7.62x39 ammo that want to upgrade their platforms while maintaining logistical efficiency But here’s the real kicker—this isn’t just a new rifle standard AUG owners can effortlessly convert their rifles to 7.62x39 **Buy the Clothes James is wearing in this video from 5.11 here: https://bit.ly/3ESelvE ** TFB Official Apparel Sponsor is 5.11 Tactical: https://www.rb.gy/mzdc5p Destined for Yemen like the Colt CK901 before it For when you reload a little too quickly and crush your fingers between the mag and grip 4X0Intended private placement of shares in Steyr Motors AG by way of anacceleratedbookbuilding process Munich, 10 April 2025 - Mutares SE & Co.

there’s something about grabbing a piece of polymer when manipulating a gun during a malfunction or a reload that doesn’t instill confidence The Corvus charging handle is made of steel and also changes its angle simply due to a spring that has to be placed in a certain way It requires some patience and time with a dental pick The factory AUG uses its sling swivel as a rear takedown pin Popping this pin allows the removal of the buttpad and access to the trigger pack for disassembly and cleaning There’s nothing wrong with the factory part but the Corvus replaces it with a QD sling cup cleaning up the rear end of the gun without having to use a wire-loop QD conversion The mag release on the AUG is located directly rear of the magazine It’s typically activated with the thumb of the support hand while removing the magazine during a reload offering a metal machined release with a wide extended paddle that makes it easier to operate only taking a couple minutes to swap out. so the bolt and fire controls are directly under your face as you shoulder the rifle which for many will be about ½ inch beneath your mouth The OEM AUG completely lacks a brass deflector it certainly brings some comfort and insurance against hot brass ending up in awkward places Since the trigger surface is so far forward of the actual fire control unit The hammer and trigger internals are also entirely plastic advertisements started popping up about a U.S.-made billet trigger from Arid Concepts Their trigger comes complete with a billet safety selector made from 6061 aluminum bar stock Combined with the Ratworks 20/20 precision trigger sear mod they completely transformed the AUG trigger it’s very much a usable and enjoyable trigger/safety setup making this gun significantly easier to shoot fast with a predictable trigger squeeze and short reset The AUG doesn’t have many options for mounting modern accessories and with the AUG’s barrel change system it makes the forward part of the gun an interesting problem to solve a favorite modification ended up being the biggest pain to accomplish: the ClawGear Rail ClawGear is based out of Austria and makes a variety of weapons accessories for the Steyr AUG including a rail that adds a lot of mounting real estate and changes the entire look of the rifle. Thus began a search for a company that would purchase and file an ATF Form 6 to import one into the country for this project The rail itself is easy to install and clamps around the gas block and barrel right at the connection point for the factory barrel attachment system The rail has an open slot to allow for adjustment of the gas block and venting of gases. ClawGear also offers a cover that wasn’t mounted after consulting with the guys in Austria about their experiences with it The quality is top notch and was worth the wait The optic/red-dot setup was ordained before even receiving the gun The AUG’s compact size makes it a great gun to run a red dot and magnifier so an Aimpoint CompM5 with a Micro 3x magnifier would be the base having proven themselves through multiple deployments. The one unknown on the AUG was the Unity Tactical Riser and magnifier mount which on the AR-15 provides a more upright head position the distance from the stock to the optic on the AUG was exactly the same as a Sig MCX an FDE Modlite PLHv2-18350 with a Modbutton delivered compact size and performance It’s attached to a Pic rail on the ClawGear at about 10 o’clock via an Arisaka Defense light mount The AUG is known as a brutally reliable platform It’s been through multiple service rifle trials and re-proving its performance isn’t the focus of this article None of the mods outlined here specifically improve reliability; rather they enhance feel and function. the gun has digested around 1,500 rounds (primarily 55-grain FMJ) The only issue of note was with bonded 64-grain Winchester which experienced some light primer strikes within the first 150 rounds. you begin with a list of expectations of what you hope to accomplish and at the end you find out how close you got to checking off your boxes The updates to the trigger and controls make the gun feel like a proper work gun. The ClawGear Rail up front allows for the use of modern accessories and provides space for a more-forward hold for modern techniques of control and recoil management The AUG is said to be “combat gassed,” meaning it’s a bit heavy on recoil The forward hand position really does help handling — even though it’s only a couple inches At this point there isn’t much more to change about the gun The design of the ClawGear Rail slightly recesses the flash hider into the rail system so further modification or an adapter to function with a silencer might be required. Another potential future modification would be the addition of a laser for use with night vision perhaps mounting solution to place an IR laser on top of the rail itself for manual control — if any readers have any suggestions “If you had to pick between an AR-15 and an AUG which would it be?” The great thing is you don’t have to The AUG offers some advantages over the AR-15 in terms of its compact size with a longer barrel — it’s smaller than a 10.3-inch-barreled Mk18 AR but delivers the ballistics of a 16-inch barrel the aftermarket support will always be better for the AR-15 here in the States but as you can see running an AUG in a modern configuration is definitely possible.

I explained how I was ready to charge up the resurrected a/c in the FrankenThirty If you have questions regarding your subscription of European Security & Defence contact our subscriber service: This is my interview with Steyr AUG developer Dr a key member of the Steyr AUG development team to discuss his role in designing one of the most iconic bullpup rifles in history and where he thinks the future of the assault rifle is headed this exclusive interview gives insight into the mind of a true firearms expert Was hoping the latest Austeyr would be mentioned as Australia is one of the only countries still using the platform …. In fact it was the first use of the new Steyr ejection port buffer who was a police officer in the his Departments Special Operations Group He had an opportunity to fire a variety of automatic weapons and he liked the AUG the best A leading bolt-action rifle in the weight class of a single-shot "kipplauf" rifle: this is the Gams from Steyr Arms Read this article on all4hunters.com to find out how the flyweight is achieved and how the rifle performs on the shooting range and on the hunting grounds Steyr has partnered with Fine Ballistic Tools (FBT) for the project of the ultimate high mountain rifle the performance that the Steyr Gams could deliver; and on the other the performance that the stock and the combo itself would deliver The Steyr Gams was made available in 6.5 Creedmoor FBT from Austria has not only established itself on the market with its own ultra-light 3D printed silencers It all started with the model for the Blaser R8 actions and now there is hardly a rifle action for which FBT cannot offer or manufacture a suitable carbon fiber stock The Unic carbon fiber thumbhole stock is available for right and left-handed shooters The stock carbon fiber fabric is laminated in layers in a special way and is therefore unbreakable the stock has a 3D printed part in the center that houses the magazine and the action The lightness achieved by the carbon fiber material in combination with the action section from the 3D printer is undeniably phenomenal The transitions between the individual materials are very cleanly finished and the gun makes a very high-quality impression (and not just because of this) the recoil should be directed straight into the shooter's shoulder This should prevent the rifle muzzle from climbing as high as possible The hollow carbon fiber body should also take some of the recoil away from the shooter The cheek rest can be adjusted using a push button The cheek riser can be removed from the stock without tools and cleaned if necessary The rear of the buttstock has so-called overload protection it should not break off but be pushed back into the stock The small QD mount for the Push & Go sling swivel is located in the buttstock The pistol grip of the thumbhole stock can be gripped very well with both larger and smaller hands The pistol grip is quite short and relatively steep The ergonomics were already very comfortable when aiming and shooting from a sitting position on the shooting range (and also from a high seat) but here too the "aha experience" comes when you shoot the gun lying down The quickly removable mini-QD mount is practical for shooting while lying down you don't have to take the diversions via the sling swivel but can click one of Spartan's bipods into the fore-end The Steyr Gams has not only been optimised in terms of stock for hunting in the mountains None of these calibers are too recoil-prone and harmonise well with the lightness of the gun The manual cocking device is located on the top tang If the cocking slide is in the lowest position and a white dot is visible the cocking slide must be pushed upwards and a red dot becomes visible The resistance for cocking is set just right this is indicated by the protruding pin in the back of the bolt shroud It retracts again when the gun is uncocked Lovers of manual cocking will get their money's worth with the version tested here The safety then acts on the trigger and also locks the bolt handle and the firing pin The receiver is machined from a solid billet and Steyr uses Weaver cut-outs to accommodate an optic Dentler mounts have also been available for the Steyr Gams since last October Steyr Arms relies on the patented SBS system for the locking mechanism which has an additional retaining ring around the bolt head This type of bolt is intended to provide the shooter with additional safety for example in the event of unexpectedly high gas pressure The additional cut-outs in the bolt are intended to ensure trouble-free firing under extreme conditions the trigger must be pulled and the bolt can then be removed from the action in a twisting motion The bolt handle has a nice curve and the throw is 70° The grey Manox coating ensures a visually harmonious overall impression The test rifle was fitted with a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 riflescope using an Eratac block mount The Eraloc quick release and the Erasilencer SOB 2S silencer came from the same manufacturer with a core and aperture part made of highly tempered stainless steel and an outer shell made of high-strength aluminum with reinforced walls this silencer is also suitable for use in shooting cinemas This is described by Steyr as a double stage type with set trigger there was no trigger wall to be found on the gun tested the trigger broke quite sluggishly and slipped the characteristics were not more satisfactory The measured pull weights of the trigger (approx 830 g and 170 grams whit set trigger) would basically be a very good match for the rifle Feeding of the bolt-action rifle did not cause any problems: the detachable double-stack polymer magazine can also be easily loaded with cartridges from above when inserted into the rifle The two buttons on the right and left of the magazine must be pressed simultaneously to remove the cartridges FBT has opted for a straight rubber recoil plate which is designed to deflect the recoil straight into the shooter's shoulder shooting with the lightweight stock is never uncomfortable Adjusting the height of the cheek rest is child's play thanks to a push button integrated into the stock The different notches are somewhat undefined There is no stop that limits the height adjustment in the "worst" case you have the whole component including the springs in your hand everything can be put back together just as quickly as it was taken apart The distance between the trigger blade and the pistol grip proves to be well chosen The bolt handle is also very easy to grip and fire The bolt throw angle should be taken into consideration when selecting the optic the bolt handle and the "Switchview" throw lever of the riflescope did not correspond optimally with each other The gun was tested on the shooting range with four different loads.
