The Steyr Mannlicher AUG A3 M2 is a .223 Remington/5.56 NATO bullpup rifle (Steyr Mannlicher part no. AUGM2GRNEXT) built around the same iconic design the Austrian army adopted in 1977. Steyr Mannlicher packs a 16-inch barrel into a bullpup layout, so the AUG A3 M2 measures just 33.4 inches overall while still delivering rifle-length ballistics. The OD Green synthetic stock and receiver give it a distinct look, and the top-mounted Picatinny rail lets you run the red dot or magnified optic of your choice. With a 30+1 round capacity and a design trusted by military units and civilians worldwide, this AUG A3 M2 is built for anyone who wants a compact, maneuverable rifle without giving up performance.
