Steyr AUG A3 M1 5.56/223 16″ 30RD | Extended Rail

The Steyr AUG A3 M1 is a civilian configuration of the classic bullpup rifle design, chambered for .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO with a 16″ barrel and an extended optics rail. It uses a short-stroke gas-piston system that vents exhaust forward and features a quick-change barrel and collapsible forward grip. The platform’s compact overall length and fixed bullpup stock make it suitable for range training and tactical-style competition. Consider pairing this rifle with an optic such as the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 (typically priced under $1000) for low- to mid-power versatility and a fast-acquiring sight picture.
