    • @tylerwilliams6022
      @tylerwilliams6022 Месяц назад +1

      You can, they are released in small batches here in the US, but usually go for a premium. They have a few differences like added QD points to the optic. (Who in the hell would mount their sling to their optic?) This type of optic sits slightly lower than the standard A3 factory optic. This is so your line of sight is split more evenly between the magnified factory optic and top mounted red dot sight.
      From what I've read of those that made the switch, over 75% didn't like it.
      The receivers are the same across all A3 AUGs. Two bolts are all that is needed to remove to switch between optics, rails, etc.
      Another sweet mounting system for A3s is made by Manticore Arms. It's a mount that mimics the look of the old school 1.5x factory scope. But you can mount the variable power optic scope of your choice.
      It gives you that classic AUG look, but with a more useful 1x6, 1x8, or even 1x10 aftermarket scope. When I get an AUG, this is the version I am leaning towards.

    I don't think I ever heard you discuss this, but are accessories for the different models available to buy for Americans if they travel to Austria? Are they hard to bring back? IOW, if someone had the cash and wanted to take a trip there and spend it, can they do that? Should I sell my Mercedes?

      Generally you can buy anything here.
      Only the barrel, bolt and magazines over 10rds require a license, but all other parts are freely available.
      However there are a bunch of customs regulations in Austria and the US that might cause you quite the headache if you try to take such items in your airplane luggage.
      But there are companies that specialise in importing/exporting firearms and firearm accessories, so you could try to hire one of those to do everything for you.
