Steyr AUG

[MK111]

I've been wanting a Steyr AUG in 223 for 25 yrs. But they were banned in 1989 and the price went through the roof. Steyr opened a manufacturing plant in AL in I believe 2011. The rifles are just hitting the market at a normal discounted price.
I bought one last week off Gunbroker and it'll be delivered on Thursday. I bought a 16" barrel and the model that takes AR 15 magazines instead of the Steyr mags. I have 15-20 AR mags left from PD hunting in the past and they all function perfectly.
Gonna to be a fun rifle. I took my AK 47 Bullpup that I had built up to the Lima Flea market and sold it for more than I had in it. The AK 47 was really a heavy rifle and the ammo is a odd caliber for me. I can reload 500-600 rounds of 223 per hour if need be. I have about 3000 rounds of 223 loaded and ready to go.
Pictures to follow ASAP.

Fun guns. The AR mag versions are the way to go IMHO.

This review is the same rifle I bought except I got the model that takes AR 15 magazines. Much better pictures than I can do.

I finally caught up with my FFL Dealer today to pick up my Steyr AUG. This thing is sweet and the trigger isn't too bad.
I post some pictures after I get a scope mounted. Think I'll mount a 1x4 power compact scope. If not I a have a good 3x9 compact scope. We'll see.
Also going with a high quality side mounted green daytime laser.
I have 1000's of loaded 223 left over from PD shooting. This is going to be a fun time.

I installed a Redfield 1x4 power compact scope on my new Steyr Aug yesterday. But my son said a excellent rifle needed a excellent scope. So he gave me a Burris 5 power Heads-up scope to use. It has red and green changeable night time aiming point with elevation mil dots set for 223 ammo.
I have a LaserMax daytime green laser on the way for low light and night time use. May install a flashlight if needed but will see how I like the green daytime laser.
The forearm grip folds up if wanted.
This is going to be a fun rifle and will see a lot of use. Sight in is next.
Total over all length is only 28". Super compact.

I took the Aug out tonight for a shoot. It functioned flawlessly. Was shooting right at dusk and what a fire ball light up for a second at the muzzle. Going to be a fun gun. Now find time to shoot the 1000's of left over PD loaded bullets. I was having so much fun I even forgot to turn the lighted crosshair up but I could see the round black center sighting circle just fine. Next time. Got to get my green daytime lazer ordered.
