    yea bye bye ergonomics
    the standard one is "military pattern" so find a suitable replacement that is slightly different in shape, or do something real badass like go carbonfibre
    the first option there will be rather differcult me thinks

    They have a pretty rough trigger.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    Can't be worse than a factory AR trigger


    Also aftermarket parts are now available since MSAR etc started producing AUG clones in the US

    that could be argued, the front just bieng an enlarged trigger gaurd. subjective.
    this was from someone who was recently trying to convince me a pump action shot gun was a mssa due to round capacity and a pistolgrip.
    after spelling out what MSSA stands for I finally made some ground but didnt convince him.
    so same answer as allways with nz firearms law, there is no clear cut answer. just a retard on the spot subjective observation and personal decision

    i did look into this but got the usual bullshit stone wall answer at your peril ect......

    i still dont think they are worth what they are asking,

    A-cat AUG

    triggers are the least of the issue, springs and stones fix them on the cheep.
    if you buy into the bullshit that you remove the case hardening and eventually the soft metal will wear then you would have got your moneys worth anyway

    That person is a level of stupid that I didn't realise exist. Please don't tell me they have any authority at all.


    No, not worth what GC are asking and I wouldn't buy one with that fucked up stock anyway.

    Haha, yeah except I'd find the plastic charging handle would often break off when conducting "ground arms".

    It's the connecting rod between the trigger and the trigger mechanism that makes the pull spongy. Replace the piece of fencing wire with carbon fibre and that should fix it

    this is the level of understanding that the police are handing down to the mountain safety officers.
    the "check your thumbhole" poster is still in pride of place in our local police station

    Man they are gonna be sorry they ever made me a mountain safety officer
    time to shake this fucken cage

    He wasn't from Tauranga was he? I had the same thing from a Mountain safety guy at the TECT rifle range at Tauranga, telling everyone he could that they were going to include pump action shotguns in the MSSA reclassification and how all guns should be registered like Australia. He had no idea what we was talking about but I could see a lot of people who didn't know better were listening to him.

    Nope but it's good to hear the moronism is well spread

    The guy who said it was relaying what a police officer had told him was happening. This was even more worrying as If he saw you with a pump action he would likely ask to see your ecat and likely confiscate the rifle and Persue charges.

    Anyway politics fucks threads up back to the steyr aug with the horrible hand gard that makes it "safer"
