The Steyr AUG A3 M2 in .300 Blackout establishes a precision-engineered bullpup platform tailored for effective suppressed operation and versatile engagement. This iteration of the iconic AUG system integrates the .300 Blackout cartridge, optimizing its ballistic characteristics for both subsonic and supersonic applications within a compact footprint.
Key Features
Optimized .300 Blackout Integration
Engineered specifically for the .300 Blackout cartridge, this AUG A3 M2 variant leverages the cartridge’s capabilities for effective performance, particularly when paired with a suppressor. The gas system is calibrated to ensure reliable cycling with varying ammunition types and significantly mitigates recoil.
Bullpup Configuration
The core bullpup design positions the action behind the trigger group, significantly reducing overall length while retaining a full-length 16-inch barrel. This configuration enhances maneuverability in confined environments without compromising muzzle velocity, providing an optimized balance and natural point of aim.
Robust Gas Piston System
Utilizing a proven short-stroke gas piston operating system, the AUG A3 M2 delivers exceptional reliability and reduces fouling in the receiver. The system includes an adjustable gas regulator, allowing for precise tuning between standard and suppressed operation to mitigate over-gassing and ensure consistent function.
Precision 16-Inch Barrel
The 16-inch cold hammer-forged barrel ensures consistent bore concentricity and long-term durability, crucial for maintaining accuracy under sustained use. This barrel length is optimized for the .300 Blackout, providing a balance between velocity retention and compact size, further enhancing its utility.
Integrated Accessory Rail
A full-length Picatinny rail is precisely integrated along the top of the receiver, providing an expansive, stable interface for optics, night vision devices, and supplementary aiming systems. QD sling swivel attachment points are incorporated for versatile sling configurations.
Enhanced Ergonomics and Controls
The updated A3 M2 stock design offers improved ergonomics and modularity. The cross-bolt safety and magazine release are positioned for intuitive manipulation, while the non-reciprocating charging handle ensures operational safety and ease of use. This model accepts standard AR-15 pattern magazines, enhancing interoperability and logistical commonality.
