Steyr Arms AUGM2GRNEXT AUG A3 M2 223 Rem/5.56 NATO 30+1 16" Black Steel Barrel, OD Green Receiver w/Picatinny Rail, Bullpup OD Green Synthetic Stock

The Steyr Arms AUG A3 M2 in 223 Remington/5.56 NATO is a compact bullpup rifle built on proven Austrian military engineering that has served worldwide since 1977. This 16-inch barreled variant delivers the AUG platform's signature ergonomic design and modular versatility in a 33.5-inch overall length—ideal for operators requiring reduced profile without sacrificing ballistic performance. The OD Green receiver and synthetic stock provide a distinctive tactical appearance while the integrated Picatinny rail system enables rapid optic and accessory integration for mission-specific configurations.

At 9.8 pounds, the AUG A3 M2 balances weight and controlability—critical for extended patrol operations or training cycles. The 30+1 round capacity accommodates standard 5.56 NATO magazines, and the short action length inherent to the bullpup design reduces muzzle rise and improves target reacquisition in rapid-fire sequences. The black steel barrel is optimized for the 223 Rem/5.56 NATO cartridge, delivering reliable velocity and accuracy out to intermediate ranges. This model ships with one 30-round magazine, owners manual, and Quick-Detach sling swivel for immediate deployment.

Bullpup rifle shooters—whether law enforcement, military personnel, or civilian tactical enthusiasts—value the AUG platform for its compact footprint in close-quarters environments, vehicle checkpoints, and breaching scenarios where conventional carbine length creates handling liability. The AUG A3 M2 appeals to users who demand proven reliability and modularity without the learning curve of unfamiliar controls. The OD Green finish integrates seamlessly with modern tactical gear while the Picatinny rail supports low-power variable optics, red dots, and mission-specific accessories without dealer modifications.
