Sadly, imported 'assault weapons' are still covered by the 1989 Bush I Ban. The AUG would have to be manufactured here domestically, or assembled according to the '10 Parts' rule to be exempted.
Anyone who wanted a post-ban AUG should have bought one of the 2500 Steyr USRs (AUG-A2) that came into the US in 1995 or so. They're still available at high prices. So too are pre-1989 AUGs that trade at even higher prices.
There is talk of the domestic US manufacture of the SIG-500 (PE-90) rifle. Canada manufactures them by license under the 'Blue Sky' label.
Oh, the import ban. I forgot. We have to make a note of that. Let's make that one next on the list after November. [Crosses fingers]
... If anything, buy a Steyr AUG."

I like the AUG. How does the AUG's reliability stack up?
