Installing the hammer and hammer springs on the Steyr GB can be challenging because each hammer spring must be wound and its fixed (hooked) end inserted into a cavity in the underside of the sear (Figure 1). This can be done using some thin steel wire, a hook tool or dental pick, and a flat...

Just bought the L9-A1 as my first Steyr. Hoping this forum will serve as a means of getting me smart on my new toy. Howdy form Southern, Maryland.

I haven't seen this reported before; the Firing Pin Spring Guide broke by fatigue in a rather light used M9-A1 (around 600-800 shots. See it here: Here you can see two additional fractures that can breake in any moment ... I'm perplexed by this problem ... any ideas about the cause...

Hi everyone, Forum newbie here, and I just happen to have completed my purchase of my AUG A3 SA! I'm pretty excited about it, naturally. I fully plan on putting some form of optic on the weapon at some point, but until I decide on which, I'm itching to get out and shoot. The only question I...

Picked up an ffl transfer of a zastava m57, new production version.....while doing my 4473 form I look down and see a fnh fns. This pistol had never caught my eye befire. So I ask the gunstore counter man if I can see it. Played with it and I got to say it is one seriously overlooked pistol...

Okay I have looked through the form and couldn't find any info, I just added a S40-A1 to my family. the first thing that I noticed was the Mag release is so hard I have to rotate the gun in my hand to get it in a position to create enough presser to release it. is there anyway to lighten the...

Just wanted to say hi to everyone and show off my new AUG I just got. I really love this rifle, can't wait to start adding the optics and accessories.

About a week ago I purchased my first pistol. I was approved almost immeadiatly. I found a dealer that had the S9 and was so excited I tried to buy it. I was called by the store to let me know that I was denied. Has this ever happend to anyone else? What could cause this?

I think an S45A1 or M45A1 might be next on my list if they came out with 1. I really don't know if it could beat my S40A1 but I would give it a shot, I always wanted a 45 and on a Steyr platform I could see that being a top shooter

Not being able to find a good quality IWB holster for a decent price. I bought a Bianchi 100 Professional size 11 for my M40. After a treatment of neatsfoot oil and letting the pistol mildly form the holster...It fits like a glove. I dunno how good it will work with the A1 series but it works...

Good morning all, I left a voicemail for Jeff about two and a half weeks ago as his colleague spoke to me and Jeff verbally confirmed with him to transfer me to his voicemail and leave a message about my inquiry. I was asking about getting a replacement extractor and the correct magazine...

I own a Steyr M40 (original) with the proprietary accessory rail. Does anyone know if the SIG SAUER Adapative Carbine Platform will work with it? How about any other universal PDW or carbine conversion options? http://www.sigsauer.com/Catalog/acp-adaptive-carbine-platform.aspx /thanks

So, I was showing my new M9-A1 to my friends the other day and they both started laughing. Then, one of them said "It's a man licker!" They laughed for a good long while. This made me think that sales of Steyr products in the U.S.A. would likely surge if the word MANNLICHER was left off all...

I am looking for a new S40-A1 either in or to be transferred to Mississippi (where I'm stationed) or Texas (where I'm a resident). Can anyone find one? This will be my first firearm, so, I am turning to the community for some help. Thanks!

I have CT laser grips on my 1911 and I love them. The front activation button under the trigger guard means the laser is on when I grip the gun. They are well made and work really great. I encourage everyone to do as I did and go to their page and fill out the "Request new model" form on...

Gentlemen, I've got a few questions about Steyr rifles: 1. What is the practical difference between SSG 04 and 04 A1 models? I understand that it is a chassis, and that one can mount some extra stuff on it, and that it looks cool :-) but any other tangible difference than that? Accuracy...

I was out shopping for a rifle when I happen to notice for the first time ever multiple Steyr pistols on a stores shelf. They had a S9-A1 and C9-A1 for $499 both fit my hands well.(much better then a Glock 26. It was the first time I have held them. I am wanting a ccw pistol. I have a a...

Moderate lurker, first time poster. I am looking at the new A3's manufactured by Sabre Defence. Specifically looking at one with a NATO stock. A few questions for the experts. - Are the NATO stocks feeding AR mags as reliable and desirable? I sure would like to use common mags. - What are...
