The Lithgow F90 is the standard service rifle for the Australian military. It is based on the Steyer Aug design and is often dubbed the “Aus Steyer”. I got a chance to check out two F90s at Big 3 East Media event.
The Lithgow F90 can be fed with Steyer Aug magazines. However these were fed excuvsively with Magpul PMAGs made for an Australian Military contract.
The PMAG 30 AUS GEN M3 Window is a 30-round 5.56×45 NATO polymer magazine for Steyr® AUG/F88/F90 compatible weapons that features transparent windows to allow rapid visual identification of approximate number of rounds remaining.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boy!!!! They need to get this rifle out ASAP!!! Any news on the Release? My stash is 4 Augs 2 NATO 2 preban, 5 MSAR E4(Oddly similar eh?) I am kinda bummed that they are using aug mags. I thought we were over this what happened to STNAG/NATO? I thought we were on the same team fellas. O well guess it will be time to pay the piper!
Up for preorder at Brownell’s
