Picked up an AUG a while back because I have a bullpup fetish, absolutely love it. M3A1 NATO variant chambered in 5.56, had maybe 200rds on it when I got it.

Also being a connoisseur of things flavored in .300 blackout, I immediately ordered the Steyr .300blk barrel to AUGment my setup. Only hangup is that it does not like feeding .300blk at all. I've run PMAGs, DD mags, other mags I don't know the make of, and the latest attempt is Lancer mags. I've also tried a variety of ammo. It seems to like the slightly longer rounds (say Winchester whitey vs. HSL), but still doesn't feed those reliably. It ends up jamming right into the side of it and getting stuck there (let's face it, we've all done it).

I polished the feed ramp, and that was a marginal improvement, so my next step is to profile the feed ramp. However, I figure I can't be the only person to have encountered this, and wanted to consult the hiveminded oracle before doing so.

Does Steyr have a different feed ramp profile for .300blk vs. 5.56? Do I run the risk of dicking up 5.56 feeding if I lower the angle on the ramp a bit? Any other magic incantations or other wizardry I should consider?

Many thanks in advance.

> ATF is proposing to allow married couples to file a joint application as makers and/or transferees of NFA-regulated firearms. Under current regulations, spouses who wish to jointly possess an NFA firearm typically establish a legal trust to do so, a process that involves legal expense and administrative complexity. This proposal would allow both spouses to be registered jointly as possessors without creating a trust. Under a joint registration, the transfer of a firearm between spouses would not constitute a separate NFA transfer, reducing both administrative burden and cost for law-abiding NFA firearm owners.

I'm not gay, but I've got a buddy with some choice NFA kit and he's about to get proposed to.
