I think the original NATO stocks made to allow the original AUGs fire AR mags might not have had a bolt holdopen on the last shot.
This was before they started manufacturing Steyr AUGs in the US (Not Microtech or TPD AUG clones).

Well I bought it, a new AUG, green standard stock with the long rail. When it arrives at my FFL ill snap some pics. Excited to get it, thanks for helping me make up my mind.
CONGRATS!! Since you went with the standard stock I will advise you that Steyr AUG factory mags can be expensive but if you are careful take your time and shop around you can get good deals. Steyr has a military LE program that includes mags, Pete Athens is the God of all AUG knowledge, parts, and service, CDNN at least used to have AUG mags at a good price.
Consider the Corvus upgrades, and keep an eye out for the ALG/Geissle trigger upgrade. If you don;t want to wait, the 2020 Sear upgrade available at Ratworx is a very good option. Also the NeuTrigger is another good option. IIRC they are compatible. Bladetech and one or two other places make a belt mounted open topped kydex pouch that is great for having a spare 42rd or 2 on the belt. Platatac of Australia USED to make a stock mounted mag pouch for the AUG which is the ONLY way to carry a spare mag onboard. You can find them on E-bay sometimes. They work and I love and recommend them. A 42rd mag in the gun and a 42rd mag on the gun is sweet for the house or the truck (heavy as hell though, I wouldn't carry or patrol with it like that).
Best wishes to you and yours, I know you will really enjoy it.

Also, BTW, sometimes you can find MSAR mags for marginally less than Steyr AUG mags. Sometimes. And, they are actually great mags, cross compatible, and work well. Additionally, 10rd MSAR mags, if you ever care to have a 10rd mag are far more available and less expensive than AUG 9rd mags. Lastly, MSAR had some 20rd mags (very difficult to find), whereas, so far as I know, Steyr never did.
Jus' Say'N!!

Thanks TED for the info!
Another question, while I was ordering mags online I came across the AUG PMAGs. Are these good mags? or should I just stick with the AUG mags. So far I ordered 6 42 rounders and 6 standard 30 round AUG mags. Just wondering if I should pick up some Pmags as well?
