Steyr AUG to Continue US Sales

Good.  An AUG is on the list of 'eventual wants.'

They've got to find a new manufacturer. Sabre closed doors and their assets were auctioned off.

I have a TPD, it's mostly Steyr parts with a CNC'd receiver and Wilson barrel. Pic.

It looks like they've found a way to actually import them rather than have them built here. I'm guessing something similar to what Sig does with some models, where most of it's made overseas, and some made here, along with final assembly (so you're not "importing" a gun, just parts.)

I could go for a green one with the STANAG stock...

That's what Steyr Arms, Inc (the U.S. importer for Steyr) did when they contracted with Sabre Defence.

The stock and front folding grip, complete bolt carrier assembly, and hammer pack were imported.

The receiver, magazine, and complete barrel assembly were made here in the states.

Because the gun has "evil features" like a muzzle device and a pistol grip, it has to comply with 922(r) in terms of the number of foreign parts allowed in the gun. Additionally, the receiver must be domestically produced.

All of the NATO stocks that have been imported are black to my knowledge. With the recent run of guns (around 1800 if memory serves) all of the stocks were black.

I'm thinking of having my black NATO stock hydrocoated in MultiCam or ATACS.

Multicam is pretty sexy...
