Click here to view the official FAQ.
We need a new Steyr FAQ. I've started something with a little help from the Walther P99 guys. Help us out. If you know the answer to any of the questions, cut and paste just the question/s you are answering followed by the answer.
If you have a suggestion for a new question, post that also with the answer.
I was going to tackle this myself, but I think our end product will be better and more comprehensive as a group effort. I will be collecting the answers into a .doc file that will be converted to our FAQ module.
