Steyr AUG Factory Sling

The factory Steyr AUG sling is sized and webbed specifically for the bullpup body. Standard AR-15 slings tend to bind on the AUG support hand because the front sling loop sits much further forward of the magazine well than on a conventional rifle, and the rear loop is on the buttstock rather than the receiver. The factory sling is cut to length and routed to clear the support hand cleanly while the rifle hangs muzzle-down.

Construction is webbed nylon with metal hardware, and the sling routes to the factory AUG sling loops directly without adapters. The AUG A3 M1 ships with a VLTOR QD swivel at the front sling point, which makes attachment and detachment fast. Available in black or green to match the body color of the rifle. Dual-color rifles can run either, the sling is purely cosmetic at this point.

Most AUG owners pair the factory sling with the Corvus Defensio Anti-Rotation QD Sling Attachment for the rear sling loop. The factory rear loop allows the retaining bolt to rotate, which causes the sling to twist over repeated slinging and unslinging cycles. The Corvus part eliminates the rotation. For a complete setup, run the factory sling with the Corvus rear attachment.
