Anything look odd on this 16” AUG (AUGM1MUDEXT)?

It was purchased brand new. The box says 16”, the box was sealed when it got to my dealer and it was opened for the first time in my presence. I called Steyr USA and the Austrian gentleman was pretty perplexed. He said the 20” barrels are pretty rare these days. He offered to swap it out for me for a 16” but they didn’t have any on hand. I kind like it so won’t be doing that and will likely just buy a 16” barrel at some point. I still haven’t shot it as I have been obsessed with my recent HK SP5’s but I will get around to it. I did get one of the factory old schools scopes for it.

has anyone else experienced this?

That is odd and I would keep the barrel. V1 gets them in at times but not that often. Even then they get pricey. Pretty cool setup. 16 inch barrels are a pain to get, 20 inches come in from time to time and can be rare, 24 inch are crazy expensive since the machine broke for them in the us. Personally I would keep it. Pretty cool op

Score! Mine should be getting delivered Monday to my FFL. I would love to see a 20-inch barrel in the box.

Definitely a win for you. If you have no need for the 20", you can keep an eye out for a 16", then sell the 20" for quite a profit.

Whats weird is the 20" you got shouldn't even have fit in the box from Steyr? Unless the 16 inch barreled box has that much more room for the 20 inch barrel? I dont remember and dont want to dig my box out of storage....
