- description
The AUG is a bullpup, and its gearbox sits behind the magazine well in a shell that is awkward to get into, so parts for it are worth having before you start rather than halfway through.
Nozzle lengths on AUG builds are specific to the platform and are not shared with the M4 or AK families.

Good to know before you buy
Bullpup layouts put the gearbox behind the magazine, so reaching it takes longer than on a conventional rifle.
Frequently asked questions
Is the AUG nozzle unique to the platform?
Its length is specific to AUG builds. Do not assume a nozzle from another gun of the same gearbox version will interchange.
Why does the nozzle matter so much on a bullpup?
It does not behave differently, but the strip-down to reach it is longer, so getting the right part first time matters more.
How do I check mine has failed?
Look for a split at the collar, a hardened or missing o-ring, or a nozzle that no longer returns smoothly under the tappet plate.
