all of you dumbasses that shilled for the AUG over the years must come here and type out a sincere apology and repent. Owners of other bullpups may come in here to discuss how bullpups are a failed concept.
wtf are you doing you keep breaking your stock?
there's something wrong with the new molds or material causing the stocks to break around the receiver lock
Glad mine was made in 2012, thousands of rounds and still gtg
It's the new takedown feature
I don't think you're supposed to take it down with a hammer
Don't drive a truck over your gun, homosexual.
>problem unheard of in nearly 50 years of military service across several nations, in spite of running it over with a tank multiple times during trials
>happens to one bitter incel twice
hmm, really makes ya think.
Steyr USA has admitted they had a bad batch of polymer get into a run of stocks. But that doesn't explain why the area around the safety in OP's pick looks like someone had been deliberately fricking with it.
>happens to one bitter incel twice
you aren't helping anyone by being in denial, just looking up "steyr aug cracking" brings up multiple and very recent results across multiple forums. Maybe if you weren't such a homosexual you wouldn't put all of your emotional investment into a shitty gun? kys.
If you google practically any issue or fault with any product, you'll get results related to it, because that's what a search engine is designed to do.
I had to deal with morons like you all the time back when I worked tech support. So long as one person out of hundreds of thousands has the problem, Google will enable your confirmation bias for you. It won't show the vast number of people without the problem because that's not what you asked for. Frick.
>search engines
>giving you results relevant to your search terms
Clearly you haven't been on the internet lately.
If you google exploding glocks you'll find most of them were in the early 00s and with first model .40 cals. Almost all new exploding glock issues are either user error, squib, or bad ammo. If you google glock slide crack it's almost all early gen 4s and talking about where the recoil spring sits. If you search cracked AUG stocks it's mostly in the 2020s to today.
>just because it doesn't happen to every AUG, it's not a problem!
Do you know how moronic you sound? Kias are still driving around without immobilizers and havent been stolen yet, does that mean that the problem doesn't exist? You sound low IQ yourself, that's why you were tech support aka a useless homosexual.
>EVER BULLPUP'S PROBLEM IN EXISTENCE
Yea i'm glad my AR is all metal
I would buy a vhs but I don’t want to support ~~*springfield*~~
Hello will you please explain what this green stuff is? Thank you.
Springfield is apparently not selling any replacement parts. You have to send it in for even the most minor stuff. Automatically a no-go.
winterfresh dip stashed for later
Oh boy, frick that Austrian polymer garbage. I'll stick to my trusted Glock when my life is at stakes, thank you very much
Don't sit on it bro
Steyr is honestly a shell of what small greatness they used to be and the fact that AUG stocks are still cracking in half for over 5 years is pathetic. But honestly the same could said about a lot of European firearms companies after they become essentially de-facto state owned corporations after successfully locking down contracts in their respective countries, there's no risk of ever failing or needing to compete so why even try?
it's not about being de-facto state owned but legislation
for the most part only very big firearm corporations can exist due to the insane legal and financial requirements in europe
and they've pivoted into the only two directions that have been consistently profitable; high quality products but focused on big contracts with civilians getting crumbs of worse quality (HK, SAKO) or mass-producing plastic garbage (Glock, Beretta, Steyr) to sell everywhere and anywhere
there are some outliers like H&H of course, but in general it's these two
t. europoor
>not already having AUGs from prior to this gay stock issue
None of my four stocks have any cracking issues because they’re all from the mid 1990s to the early 2010s, just buy an older AUG
>nuSteyr stocks start cracking when they went from chrome lining to nitride
Yeah, just don’t buy nuSteyr if you want an AUG, it’s not hard to tell from the outside if the barrel is chrome or nitride so just buy a rifle with a chrome barrel so that you ensure it’s from the pre cracking era
Should have listened to the people shilling AUGs on /k/ back when Steyr’s product was actually good and not waited for it to go down the toilet. It’s hard to believe that people are STILL buying new AUGs with this widely known issue STILL happening from this “””one batch””” of stocks.

Another common tavor W
Ah yes, the tavor, the gun that is less accurate than an AK or a poverty tier AR15. What a W.
seething palestinian hands typed this
>seething israelite hands wrote this
Your bullpup sucks. And i couldnt give a flying frick about palestine, take your hooked nose and go back to your containment thread
the og tavor is 1.5 moa
There's literally people video recording themselves on Youtube shooting 1 MOA with stock Tavors too. People can't find any real criticisms for the rifle beyond LOL BULLPUP so they start introducing strawmen to denigrate it. IWI never claimed it's a long range precision rifle. It's got combat accuracy so hitting a man sized target at 200-300 yards is perfectly feasible and easy enough to do with basic ammo.
Israel is replacing the Tavor because bullpups suck.
Source:
"The Tavor was based on a mechanism of a rear assembly, which has become less common in Western armies, less suitable for operating some of the restraints, and it has relative disadvantages in fighting in closed areas, as we saw in the fighting in Gaza," a senior IDF officer who leads the
intensification project. "We are after in-depth research on the subject and comparative experiments that we conducted with fighters from the Givati, Kafir brigades and paratroopers, to make sure it's not just a gut feeling of commanders. We realized in the tests we did at the ranges that we had to switch to a unified weapon version because significant gaps have arisen on the subject, mainly in the reserve battalions that are fed from different units, and from soldiers that some of them used Tavor and others M4".
The ambition to be based on Israeli assault rifles will be the third in recent decades, after the first two - the Galilee rifles
In the 1970s and 1980s, and the Tavors from the beginning of the 2000s, they did not succeed fully and for a long time. "The move will allow high maintenance flexibility, will prevent conversions for fighters who will move from regular to reserve, will provide a uniform spare parts market and will save logistical costs over the years," added the officer, "the ambition is that the new M4s we received from the U.S. will be distributed this year to the Givati and Golani fighters, in order to let them get to know and start using the same weapon technology that will later be Israeli-made for them as well."
all this cope and seethe and I'm just over here enjoying my superior X95
stay mad lil baby boi
>"Our conscripts have beat all our Tavors to shit and we just got a bunch of M4s for free from generous American taxpayers, so we're switching to the M4"
What a scathing indictment of the Tavor and bullpups in general.
>tavor is bad because we say so
>why? i don't understand the meaning of that word
your source is shit and so are you
>Israeli made M4s
So will they cost $3000
>66 and 77gr works best in tavors just fun fact
Tavor has a standard infantryman rifle is replaced simply bc there's just infinite ARs to find parts for. Tavor is still used to this day but usually reserved for higher rank/more specialized units.
The frick did you expect from a plastic gun? I'm not even falling for the plastic pistol meme.

You only have yourself to blame
What side and bottom rails are those? I don't love my Corvus setup.
The side rail is from Silver Star Shooting Sports.
https://www.silverstarshootingsports.com/steyr-aug
The VFG rail looks like the 20/20 Precision.
https://store.ratworxusa.com/products/accessories-990000005344-20-fgr-auga3-2545
What's your current setup and what don't you like about it?
Just a little chunky for what it needs to be.
Have you looked CD's new M1/SE extendo rail? It can direct-mount your ACOG and has enough room for everything you'd reasonably want between the extra ~4" of M1913 and side MLOK slots.
https://corvusdefensio.com/shop/corvus-defensio-extended-m1-se-receiver-rail/?lang=en
Shit, I hadn't seen that. Looks real nice. Might have to make the switch.
Can I buy that in the US?
Yes. It looks really expensive, but not having to pay VAT on it cancels out most of the S&H fees so it's actually not that bad.
Is it going to chrome line my barrel and uncrack my stock?
idk, ask Steyr USA
You're rich, cool I guess
They’re literally the exact same price today as they were then, $1700-$1800.
Nuh uh. They're actually cheaper now because inflation and cut corners. Checkmate gaytheist.
>be AUG USA stock
>*CRACKKKKKKK*
FTFY. You americans are the only ones who manage to frick up productions of every single brand that comes to your shores just because you just HAVE to employ Black folk and rednecks
The rifle is fine, it's Steyr that's the problem.
It's weird that this only seems to be happening with American guns and not, say, the guns the Bundesheer just bought, but Steyr USA doesn't actually make anything, they just assemble Steyr GmbH parts kits (including stocks) onto Steyr USA-marked Vltor receivers.
Americans always discover flaws in foreign designs because we actually shoot our guns
>Americans always discover flaws in foreign designs because moronic import laws force them to have Bubba and his Mexicans frick around with them after importation
ftfy
Because American companies are fricking allergic to paying their workers enough to give a shit, and management needs to cut every corner possible to afford a third house when most of the employees can't even afford to think about a mortgage.
American companies literally aren't allowed to hire the most skilled workers available because of the Civil Rights Act.
>but Steyr USA doesn't actually make anything, they just assemble Steyr GmbH parts kits (including stocks) onto Steyr USA-marked Vltor receivers.
Well, thats just not true. First off, Vltor hasn't made receivers in years and FN used to make AUG barrels. Both those are now made by Steyr USA and the quality shows (no chrome lining). Not sure about the rest of the parts but they probably make the flash hider, gas plug, and bolt carrier in house too. I suspect the only things imported are the FCG and small parts like the trigger, safety, take down lever, springs, etc..
Did you get frustrated and break it? A lot of people of color get angry at inanimate objects when they cant master their fundamentals.
Werks on my machine
the NATO stock doesn't work with STANAG mags, either. what a joke
It looks like you went at it with a rotary tool.
Not saying that's what you did.
But it's what it looks like.
Just google "AUG stock cracking" it's happened multiple times for different people.
Its the bong airsoft wanker back again
No gunz hands wrote this
no moron is gonna take a dremel to an actual aug like op did, its airsoft.
cope and say it keeps happening to everyone, i dont care for bullpups, but op is clearly a homosexual for faking it.
>its airsoft
Post source. You won't cause you're no gunz
>Nato stock
Deserved. I pray they don't honor any warranty or replacement promise if they were they fricking stupid
>it only happens to nato stocks!
Nope.
The cracking issue has gotten exponentially worse, now even replaced stocks are cracking which confirms the issue isn't fixed yet and there's been radio silence from Steyr about the issue. The AUG is basically a lolcow platform in the US at this point.
Just roll the dice on one stock after another until you get one that can go 1000 rounds without catastrophic failure. It's fiiiiiiiine.
Typical of European guns. Euros literally can not make anything except maybe a break barrel rifle/double rifle. Anything semi auto or god forbid full auto will always be inferior to something American.
It's a simple fact that they can barely test the rifles leading to all sorts of issues when they get used for real the G36 is a prime example of this.
Euros can't make guns worth a damn and they should probably stop trying to pretend they can. Except beretta they make decent guns that other countries improve upon greatly.
>Anything semi auto
I will never buy an american made pistol
10k rounds through mine. Runs like a champ. Shrug. You sound brown.
Ah yes, QC dropped at steyr and mentioning it means you're brown! Projection much? With your low IQ brown nosing you're probably a dumb mutt.
This is actually getting worse lol, peoples 2023 replacement stocks are cracked now too
Should I buy an AUG or are the ones they sell in the US now trash?
It's a delightful novelty and they'll probably sort out the stock cracking situation eventually, and in the meantime they'll replace any cracked stock for free with a new one that might not catastrophically fail in under 500 rounds.
inferior Austrian Engineering
just subcontract the stocks out to that other Austrian plastic gun company
Silly question. Will JB Weld fix this?
.t just used about epoxy for the first time
If you need the gun again within 24h, I guess, but otherwise why bother when they'll give you a new stock for free?
Probably not, since the stress riser from the takedown bar slot corner will still be there
Notice anything? Every ripped gun is running a suppressor. I suspect to much backpressure, thus too much bolt speed, thus the bolt hitting the rear too hard, thus ripping the stock apart.
I never thought of that. I’ve been putting off putting a Surefire suppressor mount on my AUG because they’re discontinued now and sell for like three times I paid for it and it’s hard using it when the AUG already has a poor suppressed reputation and I can sell the mount but if they’re cracking from being suppressed that’s another reason not to. Granted my sticks are all 2017 and earlier and shouldn’t have the issue but still.
Arid development had a thread on broken aug stocks and a number of owners had cracking but unsuppressed. Post 2020 stocks seem to crack if you shoot the gun, regardless of suppressor or not
Verifiably untrue, tons of people with no can have cracked stocks too.
That's still not good and the stocks are still breaking without the suppressor being attached
why TF does it look so battered
were you trying to dissemble it?
Fail.
The fact that the Steyr AUG is the *Steyr* AUG and rises and falls based on one company while the AR15 is effectively open source is one of the reasons I'm still throwing money at my AR build to try and make it work for me instead of just going all-in on the AUG.
AUG shills are troons. Idk why they're astroturfing their dumb meme rifle so hard but it isn't a great rifle.
An aftermarket parts maker (Arid) has admitted to posting here and he shills the AUG hard on other forums while downplaying all the issues so it's probably just him and his lackeys
That would explain the insufferable deniers here. I remember the arid rep claiming for months that only a bad "batch" from 2020 has cracking issues. How much of a loser do you have to be to make up a lie for a company that probably doesn't care about you? Don't even get me started on the vaporware that they sell
>I remember the arid rep claiming for months that only a bad "batch" from 2020 has cracking issues.
That was probably true to the best of his knowledge at the time. Now that there are people getting current-production replacement stocks that are cracking anyway, has he continued saying that sort of thing?
No, I have seen him even try to collect the date codes so it can be independently tracked. The effort frankly does not seem organized enough though.
There's only so much organization you can manage in a r*ddit thread.
In any case, this is just part and parcel of adopting a rifle that's not open source like the AR—if Colt or FN started shipping ARs with stocks or even receivers that failed catastrophically in under 1000 rounds, not only would people not necessarily even notice, but the viability of the AR in general would be totally unaffected, whereas with the AUG, if Steyr is having a bad time, the AUG is having a bad time.
The real issue is with steyr usa being hush hush and just replacing their problematic stocks with the same ones.
prease understandu, they have less than two dozen employees
