Hey question. So I recently saw TFBTV's video about the Australian documents showing the performance of the Steyr Aug compared to a m16 style rifle. I was curious if you guys have seen the video and what your thoughts on it where. Im not an expert on guns but I've always thought about getting a bullpup, however I have an AR because it's just common in the us and easy to aquire parts and ammo for. The steyer uses the 5.56 round and some can accept ar mags, but good luck finding parts. It seems easier to maintain as well, with it's modular barrel. What do you all think? https://youtu.be/_9NF99PG_M0

The AUG is a fine gun, although its a bullpup and has its own inherent problems. Saying something is better than the AR15 is nonsense though, the AUG is a specific rifle made by one company, the AR15 is not.

You’d be *amazed* well, actually, you probably wouldn’t, but how little most firearms manufacturers and shops actually conceptually understand about how the weapons operate

I've been in many shops, and I HATE when someone doesn't know anything about them.. it's really a disservice to customers.

I've been considering staying away from lower end stuff, like cheap ARs, I'm sure i can find a way to provide good stuff thats affordable, I'm not trying to get rich on folks. I can't in good conscience sell someone a shitty gun for defense.. you know...

Most gunshops charge like 25 for a transfer, it cost me 5 bucks, so that's profit.. accessories is where there is money to be made

@BigRed1 That’s the way to do it. And it helps build a loyal customer base.

Eventually we will have bench time, where we will discuss cleaning and repairs in detail.

I turned my garage into my shop. I’m not doing a store front anytime soon. Word of mouth has worked way better than I’d ever guess
