The SteyAR
Updated: January 9th, 2013
A reader email us this photo that is supposedly of a prototype Steyr AR-15 called the SteyAR. Personally I think it looks like a photoshop, but is a nifty design nonetheless.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

The handguard looks cool, but to what end? On a Steyer AUG it forms a nice place for your left hand, but on a weapon with the mag forward of the trigger I don't see any advantage. Well, except for one.
You could twirl it around like Chuck Connors in the old TV western, "The Rifleman".
I wouldn't recommend doing that in front of the rangemaster though.....
Must be photoshop judging from the billet-like cuts and then seeing a plastic pistol grip somehow morphed into the lower...
