The Firearm Blog reader Edward contacted Steyr about pre-ordering the AUG SA (civilian semi-automatic model) and was told it would $2995.00 $2295!
Wow! If you want to buy one you had better start saving. It makes that $500 Steyr AUG SA NATO stock (allows use of AR-15 magazines) not seem all that expensive!
Thanks to Edward for the info.
UPDATE: Edward just emailed me to say Steyr linked to PJs which is listing the price as $2295.00. That sounds much more realistic.

Why would pay that when you can get the MSAR STG-556 for significantly less?
The receivers for these things are machined by Sabre Defence they told me.

0Steve, they are not fully compatible with real AUGs
1 0Well, I bought one. Love it! No regrets about paying 1.5X the price of a good quality M4.
0 0Must have been ten years ago I first saw the STEYER AUG SA with the electric trigger in Canada for eighteen hundred. Almost bought it but the wife had a tight hold of the boys back then, so it doesn’t have a home in my safe. Now for twenty two hundred I’ll ask her if she’ll let go, wish me luck eh?
0 0cheers mate give me a acog 
0 0Please apprise me how long time take to break plastic/fibber parts of AUG 5.56 i.e magzine or butt.
0 0Sorry, I was refering to Ed AL and his wanting of a Massada or ARC.
0 0Goodluck on getting one of those. Price will be almost double that of a AUG.
0 0Yeah I rather buy a Masada then a AUG.
0 0magpul/bushmaster masada/acr please
0 0The parts are made from freshly-squeezed unicorns. The barrel is milled from a single horn. Shots are guaranteed to be 0 MOA out to infinity.
Ok, I’m making that last part up.
0 0Correction to the price, made a typo when reporting to Steve, it is $2295.00 with pre-orders accepted. Still pretty steep for me.
0 0AUG, Austrian Ugly Gun (Nice though)
0 0It cost money to play with the big kids. Plus this is a timeless weapon.
0 0What is so great about the AUG to warrant that price? I have to ask is it made by magical dwarves in the Alps of Österreich?
