Steyr AUG SA A3 confirmed for Q1 2009

Steyr Arms have confirmed that the Steyr AUG SA A3 will be shipping in the first quarter this year.

From the press release:

Currently, the AUG is in the final stages of product development and is expected to hit the shelves of Steyr Dealers in 1st quarter 2009. In fact, the veryfirst units are already in endurance testing as of the date of this article. Most companies run 1-2,000 rounds through their guns to test them, not Steyr-Mannlicher. The Steyr rifles have at least 10,000 rounds run through them while continually testing for both durability and accuracy.
