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.

What 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?
magpul/bushmaster masada/acr please
Yeah I rather buy a Masada then a AUG.
The 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.
Correction to the price, made a typo when reporting to Steve, it is $2295.00 with pre-orders accepted. Still pretty steep for me.
It cost money to play with the big kids. Plus this is a timeless weapon.
AUG, Austrian Ugly Gun (Nice though)
Goodluck on getting one of those. Price will be almost double that of a AUG.
Sorry, I was refering to Ed AL and his wanting of a Massada or ARC.
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.
Steve, they are not fully compatible with real AUGs
Well, I bought one. Love it! No regrets about paying 1.5X the price of a good quality M4.
