They make a drop-in bullpup stock for the MINI-14, but I don't believe they make one for the AR platform, do they?

I thought Kel-Tec made one of these, but it turns out they only make it in 7.62 NATO. Wikipedia says they are working on a 5.56 model, however.

The Steyr AUG is what the New Zealand Army and other foreign armies carry that your thinking of.

I have some experience with the AUG. I don't personally like the ergononics of the weapon, but many do.

MSAR (Microtech Small Arms Research) makes an AUG knock off, of sorts. I don't have experience with this rifle first hand, therefore I cannot comment on the type of action or it's reliability compared to an actual Steyr.

Bushmaster also makes a similar clone to the AUG in 5.56/223

YMMV.

How would you even do that with an AR?

I think it would have to be a complete lower receiver, and even then it wouldn't save you much in terms of overall length because of the buffer tube.
