I just wish Steyr would come out with a modern model that includes a basic wrap around handguard (with protection over the gas port), more gas settings, and licensed trigger upgrades from existing designs on the market.
It amazes me how they’ve continued to accept the idea of making their customers venture on a long expensive scavenger hunt for such basic modern features.
In terms of the muzzle device, the actual HBAR barrel uses a pretty this compensator. Its pretty powerful / will drive the barrel down when firing standing.
The idea behind it is that it pairs with the barrel mounted bipod, and so the gas pressure from the compensator will drive the bipod into the ground to keep it stable during automatic fire. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
