Steyr AUG A2 / AUG SR - Special Receiver

A Steyr AUG Special Receiver - 5.56x45mm. AUG A2 models are the Austrian military firearm, the imported weapon into the U.S. was named the AUG Special Receiver.

Steyr later released a version of the AUG bullpup rifle that removed the integral scope and installed a rail so that a scope of the user's choice could be installed. This allows night vision, red dot, and varying power scopes to be used for different purposes. The AUG A2 is the military version. In addition to the AUG S/A (the semi auto version imported into the US), there was a 20" barrel railed version called the AUG Special Receiver. AUG also released a version called the AUG P Special receiver (but with a 16" barrel).
