Ruger SR-556

Well here we have it. I am curious to see the overall quality.
On the surface they appear to be using good components.

To me the most interesting thing is the 4 position chrome plated gas regulator. Pistons, pistons, pistons; everyone has pistons on the brain.

We're in a mental recession.

1/9 twist with a commercial dimension tele stock.

Honestly, I think it's a good thing....

Even if most of us won't buy them, when traditionally Fudd companies like Remington and Ruger bring out AR systems....it's a paradigm shift.

Is this going to be the first AR with "PLEASE READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE USE" or have there been others?

Chrome lined barrel.
Piston operated.
Troy rail, rail covers, and BUIS.
Hogue grip.
Pmags.
Chromed bolt.

At least they are offering big name quality components that someone on here would use to build their rifle. I just don't know about Ruger's legendary rugged reliability.

agreed. i hope rgr sells a ton of them, making the ar even more "in common use."

Maybe it might force Bushbasterds to get off there a$$ and release the ACR

[Robb Jensen]

Ruger should have made it a DI gun, the AR world needs another piston AR like it needs more libs......
