We had the pleasure to be invited to the Steyr Arms facility this week to observe their endurance testing on the new AUG A3 Vltor receivers.

By the way the receivers look great!

16,000 rounds are fired through the receiver by an Austrian Steyr AUG engineer, Alex Giesen & Steyr Arms Master Gunsmith Herbert G. Zero malfunctions occurred through the testing!

Now let's don't forget the Sabre AUG A3 receivers went through the same endurance testing.

There are a couple of 100 AUG A3 rifles built, just waiting for the barrels to come in from FN. Each A3 will be test fired 5 rounds, then they will be ready to go! 

I figured you guys would like to see some pics of the Vltor A3 receiver, sorry not great pics but I think they will do!
