Lost to the United States in 1989 with the creation of the Import assault weapons ban, and re-introduced in 2013, the Steyr AUG/A3, is a firearms platform with a tremendously rich and highly seasoned tradition of nearly 150 years of craftsmanship, reliability and innovation. Established in 1864 in Steyr, Austria, Steyr Arms is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious firearms manufacturers, and is behind one of the most comprehensive lines of premium hunting rifles and tactical firearms available. Steyr is far from a new company and certainly not one without a well-earned reputation of quality and craftsmanship, in bringing back the AUG they have done a fantastic job keeping with the original bullpup design features, while introducing several new enhancements.
