Our Assessment: Today, we’re talking about the Steyr USR – a rifle that shares the same DNA as the legendary AUG. This Austrian-made beauty is a semi-automatic version of the AUG, but with a more traditional rifle design. Think of it as a cousin to the AUG, but with its own unique features.
One thing that sets this rifle apart is its import history. The USR was imported during the Ban Era, and only around 3,000 of them made it into the US. That makes it a rare bird, and an even more special addition to any gun collection.
But let’s get back to the rifle itself. The USR comes with a 20-inch barrel. The sights are a simple aperture style, just like the AUG, but with some improvements. The rifle also features a gas piston system, which makes it incredibly reliable and easy to clean.
The USR is a perfect example of Steyr’s innovative spirit and commitment to quality. It’s a rifle that shares the DNA of one of the most iconic rifles of all time, and it’s a piece of history in its own right. So if you’re lucky enough to have come across one of these rare gems, don’t hesitate to add it to your collection!
