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. Steyr also released a version called the AUG P Special Receiver with a 16" barrel.

Steyr AUG A3-CQC 18-inch barrel with Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip and EOTech red dot sight - 5.56x45mm.

The Steyr AUG A3-CQC was a prototype development of the A3 first displayed by Steyr at the 2006 Shot Show. It differs in having a railed handguard attached ahead of the receiver. Due to the need to remove this extra railed section in order to strip the rifle for cleaning it had a quick detach lever mounted on the left side. Due to concerns over the extra cost and weight, along with potential issues with the reliability and consistency of the detachable handguard, the prototypes received little interest and were last seen promoted by Steyr in 2008. In total only 5 prototypes were made, four with standard 18 inch barrels, and one with a longer heavy marksman barrel and shorter 20 round magazine. Despite the fact that it was never produced by Steyr, it's interesting aesthetics alone led to it being used extensively in video games. In 2012 the American company PJA obtained the 5 original prototypes from Steyr a reverse engineered them in order to produce US-made A3-CQC rifles and conversion kits.

F88 Austeyr

F88 Austeyr - 5.56x45mm. Note bayonet lug halfway down the projecting part of the barrel and visible ALO tab at the bottom of the trigger

F88S-A1 Austeyr with integral Picantinny rail, 20-inch barrel and ELCAN scope - 5.56x45mm

The F88 is the Australian Military's variant of the Steyr AUG. It features a barrel with a bayonet lug as standard (unlike Austrian Army and civilian versions), and the standard F88 variant also has an "Automatic Lock Out," sliding tab at the base of the two stage trigger that can be engaged to lock the weapon to semi-auto only. The F88 is outwardly identical to the Irish Army version of the AUG; the main difference between the two is the use of a 1:7 twist barrel on the F88 optimised for the SS109 NATO round rather than the 1:9 twist found in the standard AUG.
