Steyr Mannlicher AUG A3 M2 5.56 NATO | 16″ | 30+1

The Steyr Mannlicher AUG A3 M2 is a compact, semi-automatic bullpup rifle configured for 5.56x45mm NATO with a 16″ barrel and an extended top rail for modern optics and accessories. This configuration pairs a 30+1 magazine capacity with an OD Green synthetic bullpup stock to keep overall length short while retaining a standard barrel length. The extended rail accommodates red dots, low-power variable optics, or magnified sights for practical shooting applications.

For an optic under $1,000 that complements the AUG A3 M2, consider a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 for versatile close- to mid-range performance and durable construction suitable for this platform.

Typical applications for this rifle include range training and practical/service-style shooting where compact handling and sighting flexibility are priorities.
