    Just checked and found this info:

    According to Pete, Steyr approved the CQC and it is in production right now...

    We should have CQC AUG A3s hopefully ready to ship within 3 weeks if Mil Spec Hard Coat Anodizing doesn't delay us.

    I love the extended rail/handguard on the CQC model. Much more functional in my opinion than the standard A3. What length barrel comes with the CQC model? I assume it's the 16" OAL with pinned flash hider? Would any come with the regular 16" barrel? Thanks.

    I assume you mean when used in an AUG rifle, otherwise that would seem to be a pretty bold statment.

    Twist rate, FDE

    CQC definitely looks good. I'm hoping to pick one up when they become available. FDE looks good but I'll take black if it's not available. I can't seem to find the twist rate on Steyr's site but PJS-steyraug.com has it listed as 1x9 direct from FN. Is there no plan for a 1x7 twist? Did the AUG always come with 1x9?

    Make some 300BLK and 1:7 twist 5.56 barrels for the CQC and you have a real winner.
    I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.

    All of this info was available at TOS until they banned him. Great pics and info STG. I've been in contact with both Pete and Ratworx. When I last talked to Ratworx they only had a NATO model left but that may have changed in the last couple days. Pete has plenty of the standard A3's from what I understand.

    One thing to note is that the Vltor receivers are not showing up yet. Steyr is using up the last of the Sabre ones for the time being.

    Spare barrels will be coming. FN CL CHF, etc etc...
    24" 20" 18" 16" 14" and a 16" that has the flash hider machined into the barrel stock (a "pinned" 14" barrel without pinning).

    Everything is ready for 9mm kits again, the only thing lacking are 9mm barrels. It might be a 6 or more months before seeing 9mm kits back for sale.

    Steyr is perfecting their .22lr kit and won't release it until it is flawless.

    Other scope options might be available.

    Looking forward to some of that.

    The CQC uses a 18" barrel.
