Did they not realize that the twist lock only holds the upper half of that plate secured, and that the lower half is free to flex away from the gun? At least they fixed it for the M4 new type. Sadly, it appears the AUG is not popular enough to warrant such an upgrade.
Any time I rest my HBAR on its bipod, the front half of the barrel flexes up about 5-10 degrees 
That's why I only use the para/SMG barrel now... It's one piece since it's so short. |
That's a crappy problem. I have an HBAR as well, and it doesn't really flex at all. I found the AUG (or at least my AUG) to have very little barrel wobble, if at all. It's not even really noticeable.
I thought that's one of the AUG's high points, having a solid barrel mostly because it goes through the entire gun and is secured at the back.
