The 5.56mm AUG/A3 M1 accepts the standard AUG waffle-pattern magazines, and it can be configured for right- or left-hand operation. With its bullpup design, it puts a 16-inch, civilian-legal barrel into an overall package that is 8 inches shorter than an M4 with comparable barrel, and the NATO Conversion Kit enables it to accept STANAG (AR) magazines.

The AUG/A3 M1 adds Vltor QD sling swivel attachments that enable the use of modern single- and two-point slings.

Several sighting options are available as well: a Short Rail, a Long Rail or an Integrated Optic that features either 1.5X or 3X magnification and is fitted with three Picatinny rails for the addition of reflex sights, lights, lasers or other accessories.
