Doesn't look like much, but what we have in our hands is the Steyr AUG A3. The Upper Austrians produce a great weapon, which was brought into the 21st century by CORVUS DEFENSIO from Lower Austria. This A3 already has the Corvus Defensio 35-Slot Rail mounted, opening up brand new expansion possibilities, but one thing is for sure: the wobbly barrel handle is gone. We like the CORVUS DEFENSIO Rail (also available as M-Lok) mounted under the barrel as a counterpart to the housing rail. The handguard offers the possibility to take the weapon in a completely different direction...

The front end of the weapon now looks completely different. The handguard is mounted on the rail. You can clearly see the four screws that secure it. On the other side, you can attach grips. Here is an AFG handrest from Magpul, which is rarely seen on a Steyr AUG.

The CORVUS handguard is in two parts and covers the barrel extensively. This prevents quick overheating. An interior heat shield also prevents the evil gas cylinder from doing you any harm.

You can clearly see how much space is between the barrel and the handguard. By the way, the AUG A3Z Compensator is mounted on the weapon.

At first glance, it does look quite bulky. The handguard bulges out quite a bit on the right and left. Two small Picatinny rails are mounted on the right and left. Lights, lasers, and switches fit perfectly on the rail. Unused M-Lok slots are covered with caps.

Here is the CORVUS handguard seen from the left. In the image, it is the M-Lok Handguard - it is also available as KeyMod and completely smooth - see links at the end of the article.

Suddenly, the ancient Steyr AUG, which many of us still remember from military service as the StG77, has a completely different maneuverability.

With the weapon, suddenly the C-Clamp becomes a handle, allowing for quick and precise target acquisition with good control during rapid fire.

CONCLUSION: Step by step, CORVUS DEFENSIO is transforming the AUG. The handguard is a useful addition that further modernizes this classic rifle, allowing for a completely different grip.

The CORVUS DEFENSIO M-Lok Handguard is available directly from CORVUS DEFENSIO for 249 euros. There is also a smooth M-Lok handguard and a KeyMod handguard. The latter is also available as a set with the matching rail for 399 euros or as an equally priced M-Lok rail set or as a smooth set with rail.

In Target: With this weapon combing the CORVUS handguard and A3Z Comp, it's fascinating to see and feel that there is no more rise. It remains extremely stable in target, even during rapid firing sequences.
