MSAR STG-556
Notes: One of the newest civilian versions of the Steyr AUG series is the STG-556. Built by a Steyr subsidiary in the US called Microtech Small Arms Research (MSAR), the STG-556 is actually built from better-quality materials and to closer tolerances than the AUG. The receiver is, in fact, made from 7075-76 aluminum rather than polymer, and is hardcoat-anodized. (The stock is still polymer.) The STG-556 also has a bolt hold-open feature and a forward assist. Though MIL-STD-1913 rails are not standard features, two attachment points for them are provided under the optical sight; alternatively, the STG-556 can be ordered without the AUG-like optical sight and with a MIL-STD-1913 rail atop the receiver instead. The optical sight is still 1.5x, but the reticle is different. Magazines used are of the traditional AUG-specific type used on the AUG A1 series, with 10 and 20-round magazines also being available. (These reduced-capacity magazines will also fit into an AUG A1.) An unusual feature is that the STG-556 can be had in 6.8mm SPC, and a kit is also available to convert a 5.56mm STG-556 to fire 6.8mm SPC.
A variant of the STG-556, the MSC-08, can be had as a complete rifle or as a kit to convert the STG-556 to the MSC-08 configuration. The MSC-08 is a 9mm carbine with a 16.5-inch barrel. The features are for the most part the same as the STG-556, except for the varying barrel lengths.

Voere Titan II
Notes: This is an update of the basic pre-World War 2 Titan design, produced in the 1970s. The Titan II (also known as the Titan 225) is mostly a standard-design bolt-action rifle, but uses a deep stock cut to form a handgrip. The receiver is very streamlined, and the Titan II could be had with a standard single trigger or a set trigger. The titan II is a very robust rifle able to fire both standard and Magnum cartridges with only minor modifications to the basic design, and it is available in a plethora of chamberings. The Titan II is available in a Luxusmodell version (deluxe model), which is the same weapon built with a combination of cherry and rosewood, and engraved artwork. Production of the Titan II appears to have stopped in 1994.
