Both models are part of production runs in the thousands of units and are backed by companies with good customer service reputations. Given the current MSAR price I would definitely buy more of those instead of the A3. Even if they were priced identically I would probably still opt for the MSAR just because of the various bonus features I cited above.

I am currently in the market for an aug, so I'm either going to get the A3 or the MSAR Gen4. Which would you recommend after owning both now for awhile? I really like the A3 for it's support and use of original Steyr parts. However I like the MSAR 556 for it's price and the rail being raised up and shorter. I have looked and it has been hard for me to find a good review of both. Have you had any issues with the MSAR? How many rounds have you put through it? Any of the design elements on the MSAR you have come to like or dislike? Basically I need to you talk me into buying the MSAR ot buying the A3 :) Thanks for your time.
