The rails on the sides are at 90\u00b0 which is a welcome improvement over the original Steyr AUG design. This will allow easy mounting of lights, lasers and bipods. This and other design changes result in a rifle that is over a pound lighter than its predecessor. The fluted barrel is removable by simply pushing one retained button to either the right or left side. Incorporated into the flash suppressor is a QD mount for a sound suppressor.<\/p>\n<p>Lithgow has partnered with Magpul and will be providing two Magpul PMAG 30 AUS GEN M3 Window magazines with each rifle.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>PRICE &amp; AVAILABILITY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The ATRAX is slated to be available mid 2017 with the first shipment of 300 rifles landing second quarter. MSRP for the Lithgow Arms USA Atrax is $1,999 in the base configuration.
