Some people will say over 2K now.  I've never paid more than 1500.  Seems to be a scarcity of AUG barrels/ parts in general these days, other than the parts kits?  I'm also not sure what the attraction is since they don't shoot that well in my experience?

There is a price difference on the originals (E XXX) and the Ratworx/Steyr Arms (11XXXX).

You would need to check with Pete Athens (http://www.pjs-steyraug.com), but I think there were only about 1500 Austrian LMG barrels imported. The original LMG barrels do sell for a premium. If you can find them.

The number on the originals I've heard is 125-150.   I don't follow the ratworx barrels/bipods so I can't really comment on those.  What I never have figured out is the one barrel with the mid-mount bipod?  How many of those are there?   And why?

Still not sure what the attraction is on the long barrel?  The whole thing is really a package and the scope is unobtainable these days AFAIK?

The other option is the Steyr bipod (on the left).  Got that from Buddy....years ago....thanks!

Thanks for the correction on the import numbers  johnsonLMG41 . Possibly the interest is more for the collectability than usage.  I had one for years and never shot it, bought it as a collectable, regret selling it.
