I almost crushed his hand a few months ago when we shook hands.

He was like most typical Marines....melted in the presence of greatness (ie: Army)

Im just kidding Gunny....don't fly out here and "rip my head off, and sh*t down my neck"

Looks like a Steyr Aug, is it an off shoot of it?

[Guest EasilyObsessed]

That is the hotness!

It's too bad that existing AUG magazines don't fit the Microtech version....They should have thought that out a little more before deciding to make their magazines proprietary.

I had one of the green ones in just before Christmas. The former president of ETS had ordered it. It felt really nice, and looked pretty good, as well. His came in a Pelican case, with a special edition knife and a bunch of other doo-dads. I liked it, as did everyone in the shop that day. (Thank God it's mostly plastic. If it were all metal, the drool might have caused rusting.)

Yeah, those have had quite a few problems...so much for "special edition"

[RASHGUNNER]

I am very interested to hear how it shoots. Please do report here when you do test it out. I did not know they would not take the original mags. That is dissappointing.

I had a chance to handle one Friday at one of my local shops. It was the black model. Looks to be well made and solid. There was also a ban-era Steyr AUG and after comparing the two side by side I prefer the STG. I only got to handle both but if the STG shoots as good as it looks it has to be quite a nice weapon.

[Guest Dtex]

They had several leave Bradford with no rifling's. I have yet to hear of anyone firing more than 500 rounds without a mechanical failure. It's a Steyr AUG wanna be, just like there new pea-shooter, the Archangel

kind-0-looks like a Keltec, don't ya think? They really need to stick to knives.

[Paletiger13]

Sounds like someone is cranky^^^ LOL TX?

[BimmerFreak]

Thats about 10k worth of MicroTech knives....very nice.

[Guest jwp]

Well, Steyr is bringing back the AUG early next year. Just have to wait and see what that does to the STG-556.

[Guest cjr]

Dtex has some of the finest Microtech knives.He has made me a few with custom stingray and ostrich inserts.

He has much info on the Steyr line as far as what to buy and what to run from befor most dealers know.

I love Microtech knives and that is a damn fine collection!!

I have two Microtech knives and love them! A mini SOCOM Elite and a Lightfoot DA with Carbon scales, titanium bolsters and sandblasted blade.

I will dig up my pictures.
