Ruger Introduces the New 308 Small-Frame Autoloading Rifle (SFAR)

[Ron3]

The Ruger 556 may be the worst AR-15 variant still sold. My retirement job is working at a gun store again. We had one on the wall and I looked at it. I showed the owner all of the shit that was substandard with it, he agreed to not order them any more.

Like what? Just curious.

The standard stuff- not a FA BCG, poor staking on the gas key, no staking on the castle nut, junk stock, tool marks on BC. I didn’t look closely at the barrel extension or barrel, but after seeing all the other corners cut, I didn’t bother pulling out my flashlight.

@Keith- not into it all! I run two PWS MK111 uppers with SSA-E triggers in form 1 lowers, a superlative arms conversion with BCM lower BA barrel, a complete BCM 16”, and one frankengun on a Spikes lower. They are all better built and spec’d than that Ruger trash!
