About Steyr AUG The Steyr AUG, also known as the Armee-Universal-Gewehr (army universal rifle), is an Austrian bullpup assault rifle chambered for the 5.56?45mm NATO intermediate cartridge. It was designed by Steyr-Daimler-Puch in the 1960s and is currently manufactured by Steyr Arms GmbH Co KG. In 1977, it was adopted by the Austrian Army as the StG 77 (Sturmgewehr 77), replacing the 7.62?51mm NATO StG 58 automatic rifle. Since then, it has been the standard small arm of the Bundesheer (Austrian Armed Forces) and various Austrian federal police units. Many other countries have also adopted variants of the Steyr AUG as their standard-issue service rifle. The importation of the Steyr AUG into the United States began in the 1980s as the AUG/SA (SA indicating semi-automatic). However, it was banned from importation in 1989 through an executive order by President George H. W. Bush. This order restricted the import of foreign-made semiautomatic rifles that were deemed to lack "a legitimate sporting use." After six years, changes were made to the design of the carbine to meet importation criteria, allowing its importation once again. These changes included a redesigned thumbhole stock replacing the pistol grip and an unthreaded barrel to prevent attachment of a flash hider or suppressor. The import ban expired in 2004, and in 2008, Steyr Arms collaborated with Sabre Defence to produce parts for the Steyr AUG legally within the United States.
