Got one today. Forgot I had an aimpoint laying around. Took the light and sling from an AK.
Adding the light was a little tricky and this is the item most likely to change. Without the tape switch I had to stick my thumb over the pic. rail and under the aimpoint to activate. With the tape switch I have to move my support hand back and under to work it. Feels better like this?
Are tape switches the suck, and prone to breakage?

I bought a couple of the new Magpul AUG mags. I ran about 100-150 rounds through the three mags I bought with no problems. The Magpul magazines are a tad longer than the Steyr magazines. I have a good supply of the Steyr mags, but will probably get some more Magpul ones too.
I just bought a couple of the Magpul magazines with some other stuff I was ordering from Brownells. I am completely a Nyeti disciple on these rifles-I traded him one of his four a while back and missed it so much that I went out and bought another one. I'm looking for a regional 2-day class to take that will allow me to try it out in a setting with some pressure. Mine wears an Aimpoint CompM4, a Surefire Scout, and a VTAC sling. I'm also on the list for one of the anniversary ones from PJ's.
I have seen some of the accessories Nyeti references in this thread-a lot of good stuff, designed by a SME on the AUG's. Once he makes them public, I will post pictures.
I hate you all so much.
I've been seeing hints about new AUG acessories for the last 8 months. I got tired of waiting. I picked up a Surefire scout light on sale that I mounted on the right side rail. I can activate it with my right thumb, not ideal but doable. I just picked up an American defense modular mount for an aimpoint T1. Went to mount it; opened the socom riser box. Found a little card that said my purchase had been checked for quality. Now the little screws were missing. Emailed the place I purchased it from. They told me to contact American defense. I emailed them and they mailed me the screws. Hopefully I will finally get to shoot it this week
