The AUG A3AW is chambered in .223 Rem, a common and versatile round, and features a gas piston action, offering a clean, reliable function even under harsh conditions. The barrel length is an accessible 16", with a threaded barrel and flash hider. This rifle is not just about functionality, it's also about aesthetics. The sleek black finish of the firearm and the green polymer stock give this rifle a distinct and modern look. It also features a rare AUG 3x 60mm SF Mildot optic, a testament to the innovation and forward-thinking design that Steyr Arms is known for.
This optic, designed for extended combat and absolute reliability in adverse conditions, is the latest in the long line of AUG integral optics, a feature that has distinguished the AUG since its inception.
Originally designed for the austere conditions of the Alps, the STG77, the predecessor to the AUG, has served with the Austrian military since its adoption in 1977. The integral optic was groundbreaking at the time, as most military rifles of the period were issued with iron sights. Despite advancements in technology, the Austrian armed forces have stuck with the integral optic for its durability and ease of maintenance. The AUG A3AW is a continuation of this legacy, featuring the SF 3x optic made from 70 series aluminum. This rifle, hence, is not just a firearm, but a piece of history.
The Steyr Arms AUG A3AW in .223 Rem is an excellent choice for any firearm enthusiast, offering precision, reliability, and a piece of military history. Its distinct design and top-notch performance make it a standout addition to any collection. Experience the thrill of owning this remarkable firearm today!
