Ruger has finally gotten into the AR pistol market. They’re about the last ones to do so. Well, except for Colt I guess.
Anyway, I have had decent luck with my Ruger AR-556. Granted about all that’s left that’s Ruger is the upper and lower. Maybe the buffer tube. And I wish Ruger would have done this with the SR-556 TD series. I think a takedown AR pistol with a barrel in 5.56 and another in 300 BLK would be a fun toy.
Are we supposed to be excited? An also ran manufacturer building what is surely an also ran AR pistol. I will call it bad if not fake news. Who GAS?
Can someone translate this please?
I believe it means Gives a Pooh.
There are so many choices out there at all price points that introducing a new AR pistol/rifle without some innovative feature isn’t likely to garner a lot of enthusiasm from us internet commandos.
I kinda like it, considering that you will probably be able to buy this for $599 or less in the open market. Another nice option for the general gun buying public, even though it may not appeal to everyone.
This will result in all the fudds and neckbeards buying them and posting youtube videos of themselves acting like idiots in public until braces are banned.
Nah, Springfield already makes a Saint pistol and PSA has all kinds of pistols so that market share is pretty saturated already. Nothing new here.
Good point, but I would say a lot more people recognize Ruger as a brand and Ruger spends a lot more money on advertising.
When a Gun Maker Proposed Gun Control

Good article.
How long did it take them after the AWB sunset to produce the 25rd 10/22 mag? A decade?
“Not the same company” my ass.
Hard pass on both ethical and technical reasons.
Oh and while we’re at it - Troy sucks too.
Now way, most of that crowd already has 2 or 3 80% lowers they routered out and installed the cheapest parts available from that ongoing PSA sale, doobtube done learned 'em how with just a 2x4, pipe wrench and 16d nail.
Why does Troy suck? Some anti-2A reason?
Curious, my only experience with them are the several fixed Battlesights I’ve owned and an Ambi-Mag release that the pin hasn’t walked out on, yet.
Question, would you purchase a new Colt 6920 if the price was right? After all, it wasn’t all that long ago that the CEO of Colt stated that he would be in favor of a federal permit system with training and testing for gun ownership.
The Ruger family is no longer involved with the company that bares their name, and the company’s stance on gun control has changed as a result. Should we continue to punish the company for the transgressions of the founder when he is no longer alive and the company’s stance has changed? I don’t think so. Now if Bill Ruger was still there then I would totally agree with you.
As far as Ruger’s AR offerings go, there are some things that Ruger does well, but the AR platform isn’t one of them.
Troy hired Jody Weis (a Daly anti gun bureaucrat), Lon Horiuchi (who shot and killed Vicky Weaver who was armed only with her infant) at Ruby Ridge, and Dale Monroe (Lon’s partner at Ruby Ridge who was “ready” to take the shot that killed Vicky but Lon fired first). Hiring one? Eh ok. But all three? What the **** kind of gun company does that?
I can somewhat look beyond Ruger as a company for a stupid ass, happily deceased, owner’s comments made 25 years ago and shrug.
However, in the time-perspective of gun rights people taking the “Never forget those who ****ed you” mentality - Troy basically did all that shit yesterday, and any company’s culture that would permit the hire of individuals such as that is not an accident.
You obviously don’t know me. The price doesn’t need to be “right” for me to buy a Colt 6920. It just needs to be on the shelf. Only hourly wage losers wait for sales.
see my previous post regarding the past and Ruger. Most of my hatred for Ruger stems from the fact that their firearms are just garbage save for the 10/22 and Alaskan.
I know. Crass plebeians need not darken my door! :no:
Yeah… Troy isn’t on my to do list but I like .44s and 10/22s so I’ll still get Ruger stuff.
I have Colts, LMTs(the official rifle of Bailey Jay), and KAC stuff. I turn up my nose at other stuff
Comment on #2. Right on. Excluding 10/22 (which is decent but T/C has a better clone) Ruger centerfire semi autos rifles are garbage…poor craftsmanship and rough machined parts…
