The Steyr was a good rifle taking into account it was a 1988 weapon system.
MARSL is the bee knees and LMT have looked after us very well.

Warm Barrels!
Did New Zealand trial the HK416/17 series?
If so,why was the LMT chosen over HK?

Nice to know the NZDF have some decent rifles , I hope they start stock piling ammo , parts & more rifles ...I wonder how they would get on getting any of the above in our current state , We all know how much of a pain in the ass it is getting ammo or powder when the yanks start stock piling , let alone another war.

That's where the tax money you'd have spent on beer went instead.

What weight projectile is the MARS-L using? I see it has a 1:7” barrel.
Just...say...the...word
The LMT is a good weapon and gucci with the acog and rmr, it looks cool and it functions and shoots well, only thing I don't like is the sharp corners and the nooks and crannies like the foregrip that is hard to clean. It also seems really counterintuitive to have to cock the action to apply the safety but I guess that's just how it is.
I think it was a foregone conclusion that NZ would go with an ar platform for international compatibility if nothing else. Personally I liked the feel and balance of the steyr more, it had a horrible trigger but if they had gone as the Australians did and put a rail and acog on it would probably have shot as well.

Is the criticism towards the AUG based more on them being shot to shit and falling apart? The one's I've messed with in the civilian world have been very capable and reliable, very accurate with a good optic. My good mate loved his when he was serving. I'd buy one if aunty would let me.
Yes I think my mates one was an Austrian made one and he remarked that they were better than the Aussie ones. The only real gripe I had with the limited time I had was splitting my nuckles open when charging the flat top versions.
I shot service rifle with an ex army guy that had a flat top with a Leupold HAMR on it and he was very competitive with it.
