Some drama: 385 sixth generation 9mm kits were imported by Steyr for the AUG on approved Form 6's this year.
ATF and Steyr's lawyers had a legal dispute over recently denied Form 6's - identical to earlier approved Form 6's within a few months time.
Two weeks ago ATF issued a final ruling that the 9mm kits can not be imported any longer and no more Form 6's will be approved.
At issue was the Austrian made barrel.
Anyhow, a while back there was some chatter about the 6th gen kits being expensive at $1300 (which they are), but prior to these 385 kits coming into the country, USED 5th gen kits were selling for $3000+.
Anyone can guess what a 6th gen kit will bring down the road...
If you want one or think you may want one, consider this is a big heads up: get one now while you can or pay the price in the future.
I would recommend Pete at PJS-steyraug.com, being that he is the most knowledgeable person in the US on the AUG and has been in the AUG business for over 30 years.
