DISCLAIMER:
I am in no way encouraging or advising anyone viewing this video to attempt to modify their firearms. I am NOT a professional gunsmith! If you are not 100% confident in your ability to modify firearm components AND well experienced, DO NOT even attempt it! Always seek a professional gunsmith if there is any doubt!
I wanted this video to be a more in depth look at some of the mechanisms and operation of the Steyr AUG, as well as a good guide to upgrades available to improve the comfort, usability, and capability of the weapon.
@TnSteyr Has lots of great videos on the platform.
@AKArsenalYT has some good videos as well.
There are more trigger options out there that I didn't mention here from Arid, KaWaTec, and Trigger Tamer If you have experience with them please share in the comments.
