BarryinIN Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Anyone here read German? http://strategie-technik.blogspot.co.at/2012/10/steyr-mannlicher-stm556.htmlNo word on coming here.Or price.It's called the STM556. Piston operation, quick change barrel, monolithic upper. The barrel is interesting to me because it looks a lot like an AUG barrel, in that there is no barrel extension with lug recesses for the bolt to engage. This makes me assume they will use some sort of insert in the upper for that. With that, and the barrel attachment toward the front (also similar to an AUG), that upper receiver is looking expensive. One more curious "feature": The safety can be applied with the hammer down. That's funny, because the latest version of the HK416 (416A5 I believe- their piston AR) is the same way. The HK416 and this STM556 look a lot alike in the details. It makes me wonder if some country posted a juicy contract bid proposal with that odd requirement.
