The grip portion looks much better... the compact version is supposed to have the flat end though, the slant is for a front sling mount the compact model doesn't come with.

After looking into this a little more, turns out this isn't an actual A3.
Steyr-Manlicher sells a complete upper for updating older A1/A2's that come in standard and compact varieties... the latter being what TM modeled after.
The A3's lower receiver/stock portions have some features this thing is missing, such the side magazine release which should be just below the ejection port.

So this thing would be a A2 action with A3 conversion upper in 12.5".

Deal killer for me... if I go back to an austrian ugly gun it's gotta have the improved mag release, I love AUG's but their's might be the worst mag release ever made.

Have you seen the irons that came with the Marui A2? Those were the worst TM product I've ever seen lol.
