This may be old news to most here, but I've learned that TDP is another private venture, just like Pete's venture into the STG556. TDP used a mix of factory and domestic parts to produce a US-made AUG for SHOT Show 2007. The receiver was an ADI Australian one, the stock was the Steyr factory stock with the provision to accept NATO standard (AR-15/M-16) mags. The magazine is indeed a MAGPUL product, and I think the balance of the parts was TDP's own products, but the trigger pack could be Steyr. TDP did not have their own receiver ready for the SHOT Show. I think they are expecting to deliver rifles by Summer 2007.

I suspect that TDP is not working with a Steyr factory technical data package, but it's funny how TDP also spells out "technical data package". I have to wonder if some parts have to be fitted when combining factory (Steyr & ADI) parts with private venture parts. The interfacing of critical components might not be the same. I would think that Pete's venture with the STG556 wouldn't have any dimensional issues as all his components are worked out prior to production.
