MSAR STG E4 initial impressions

[ColdDeadHands]

Sad to see MSAR is gone, I had wanted to eventually pick one up. Looks a genuine steyr is the only option now.

According to Aaron @ Ratworx USA they'll be expecting more early next year.

Can someone please tell me how to pronounce "SteyrAug"?
I have the 556 with a new E4 stock, and am looking at the Rapture charging handle. Just not sure about the extra sticking out with the Raptor CH.

While I don't care for the Raptor's aesthetics, there's no denying its practical effectiveness with regards to both cycling the action and preventing finger snags on protruding optics/mounts.
I have the Raptor on all my STG's.

[SteyrAUG]

Can someone please tell me how to pronounce "SteyrAug"?

Like the FAL, AUG stands for something (Armee Universal Gewehr) or Army Universal Rifle. So some call it a Steyr A-U-G but others call it the Awwg.

The former is technically correct but everyone knows what you mean if you say the later.

And in case you are wondering, Fusil Automatic Legere (Light Automatic Rifle which is why us imports were called FN LARs).

Thanks. Is it "Steer, or Stire, Stair, ??? I always thought Stire.

EY is pronounced like the English "I".

So "STIRE" would be correct.

Thanks TOrrock, I was saying it that way, then some ??? on yoooo tuber said "Steer" and I thought "Would any self respecting Austrian talk like that", but I better make sure. Not that I have pronounced anything wrong before in my life, or made a damn good fool out of myself before. Now I B EDERCATED.
Thanks again.
