For reloads, you can try an AK-style reload, where when empty, you grab a fresh mag first, and using the back spine of that mag you hit the mag release, dropping the empty. Then you insert and rack. It helps to have an extended mag release for this (think ARID or Corvus Defensio). Also, some additions that give benefits would be a brass deflector so you can shoot lefty (or around obstacles), and some trigger mods. The ARID trigger and safety, along with a Ratworx 20/20 sear bring the pull down below 5lbs (I've gotten sub 3 pound pulls). That combo also removes all take-up, gives that light, crisp break, and removes all overtravel. The original combat trigger is a 2-stage trigger with the extra travel to engage full auto. Since 99% of us don't have full auto we don't need that 2nd stage of overtravel. The ARID trigger and safety remove all that extra travel. Oh, Steyr has NATO stocks with the rear, bolt release, but they are only available right now on the 300 blackout model which should be released shortly here in the US. The US factory is currently machining the 300 barrels as I write this.
Original trigger was a progressive trigger. Original tricker packs have a selector on the bottom for full auto and 3 round burst. Pull midway and you get semi. Pull all the way and you get either full auto or 3rnd burst.
You were saying that you’re used to a C clamp grip, try wrapping your support hand around the receiver and cutlass grip behind the vfg. Sounds strange, but it works well for some people.
I did give that a try. Unfortunately my large hands came with shorter fingers and it was not a suitable grip for me with the circumference of the rifle behind the VFG. But I was satisfied with it's performance while utilizing the VFG. Thanks!

The Standard version is arguably better. Hell Magpul makes AUG mags and they're reasonably priced.

The bolt release only comes on the A3 standard Steyr AUG magazine version. You have the A3 NATO magazine version which does not have the bolt release.
I came here to say the same

Counter Strike 1.0 and 1.6 is the most I've ever used this gun.
Isn't the button behind the mag the bolt release?
No. It is a second magazine release.
I do not want one because it fires a Barbie caliber round. I prefer .308/7.62mm, 6.5 Creedmore, and 6.8 NATO.
Oh shit watch out big cock around. 😂
