Armee Universal Gewehr (AUG) Inbuld work

The AUG was adopted by the Austrian Army in 1977 as the StG 77 (Sturmgewehr 77),[6] where it replaced the 7.62×51mm NATO StG 58 automatic rifle.[7] In production since 1977, it is the standard small arm of the Bundesheer and various Austrian federal police units and its variants have also been adopted by the armed forces of dozens of countries, with some using it as a standard-issue service rifle. The importation of the Steyr AUG into the United States began in the 1980s as the AUG/SA (SA denoting semi-automatic). The AUG was banned from importation in 1989 under President George H. W. Bush's executive order restricting the import of foreign-made semiautomatic rifles deemed not to have "a legitimate sporting use." Six years into the ban, AUG buyers gained a reprieve as cosmetic changes to the carbine's design allowed importation once again. Changes included redesigning its pistol grip into a thumbhole stock and leaving its barrel unthreaded to prevent attachment of a flash hider or suppressor. The Federal Assault Weapons Ban, passed in 1994, further prohibited the manufacture of additional Steyr AUGs or their copies. The ban expired in 2004, and in 2008, Steyr Arms worked with Sabre Defence to produce parts legally in the U.S.
