Steyr Aug A3 M2 5.56 16 Green Standard 30Rd

The Steyr AUG A3 M1 is a modern 5.56 NATO bullpup rifle built on decades of proven design. The compact 16-inch barrel profile makes it an excellent choice for tactical shooting, home defense, and those who value maneuverability without sacrificing effective range. The AUG A3's intuitive controls and modular design have earned respect across law enforcement and military circles worldwide, and that same reliability translates directly to civilian ownership for sport shooters and serious riflemen.

Bullpup ergonomics aren't for everyone, but they offer real advantages in tight spaces and from vehicles—especially valuable if you're setting up at the range or preparing for a defensive role. The 5.56 NATO chambering gives you broad ammunition availability and proven ballistics for target work and hunting applications. The 30-round magazine capacity is standard for the platform, giving you ample rounds between reloads.

The green furniture on this configuration is classic AUG styling and offers good visual contrast on the range. If you've shot other modern tactical rifles but haven't run a bullpup, the AUG is the benchmark—it's where the concept meets real-world usability. Steyr's manufacturing standards mean you're getting a rifle built to strict tolerances, not a budget knockoff.
