So I made the mistake of going to the gun store today. I was looking around and remebered why it took me so long to get around to getting an FAL. Curiosity got the better of me though and I finially looked at an AUG. I am passingly familier with them but had never handeled one at all before. I was well impressed. So now I want to know more about them. I doubt I will got one but I am mulling the idea over.
The one at the store was OD and had the little 1.5 power or so scope. It also had what looked like a 10 round mag. I was impressed with how light the rifle felt. Also it is one of those cases where the sights just line up right. It felt like a comfortable rifle. I don't like the fact that it is 5.56, I don't care for the round. I also didn't like the price tag $2099, OWCH! So I doubt I will get one, I can think of other things I would rather spend that kind of money on.
So I have done a little digging and, have some questions. So here is a brief run down of what I think I know. Let me know if any of this is wrong. It looks like 16" is the standard barrel length. That would have been my guess looking at this one on what it comes with. From what I have read today it looks like they are crome lined which I think is a huge plus. It also looks like they can be swaped out quickly too a? Also it looks like you can get them in 20" which is what I would prefer. Can you get them that way or do you have to order a new barrel seperatly? Can you get them with a bayonet lug?
Also I have heard that some have a rail instead of that sight. I don't know that I care that much. I am not a huge fan of a million rails but I can see where it would be nice to put a red dot on it. The scope seems decent. How well does it work in low light?
I liked the clear mag that let you check to see how much ammo you have left easily. How much are spare mags? Are they 32 round mags. I seem to recall that but then it looks like they come in 10, 20, 30 and, 42 round capacaties. I would guess that if they are 30 round mags most AR mag pouches would work? How hard is it to find mag pouches for the mags?
How relible are the rifles? Are the trigers as bad as I hear? Any thing else I should know?
