Ruger AR-556

[ram57ta]

Picked one up earlier and wondering if anyone has any experiences good or bad with it?

[svauto-erotic855]

I have an SR556 and love the hell out of it even though it is an AR. I am sure that the AR556 is a damn fine rifle too.

Shouldn't you have asked this question before you bought one, rather than after?

[red89notch]

That would require fore thought and how are you supposed to do that with an impulse buy?

I asked somewhere else and got pretty good responses locally. Thought I'd ask all the experts on here just for grins. Been looking at this gun for a couple weeks.

This wasn't an impulse buy. Been looking at AR's for several months but didn't have the funds to make a purchase then. Now I do.

I'll take that piece of shit off your hands for $300, and you don't even have to thank me.

It's a scary looking black rifle with a pistol grip, adjustable stock, and a foregrip that was originally manufactured by Mattel. It's simply badass. There is a lot of fluff and frill in the AR market, but at the end of the day that doesn't matter a whole lot.

Are you saying that my billet titanium full length octo rail with 3 sets of backup sights, two flashlights, spare batteries, a forward grip, a bi pod, and a glass breaker that adds a mere 26lbs to my rifle doesn't matter a whole lot? What planet are you from cause it sure ain't planet Tacticool.

Keep it locked up or it'll kill a lot of people while you're at work. Obama says so.

I think my AK looks a lot scarier. I don't really care for the tacti-cool approach. I want a basic rifle that shoots well that is easy to maintain.

Get a Mauser.

[svauto-erotic855]

Get a Mauser.

I was going to suggest a G3.

[Moose242]

He said easy to maintain. Swapping rollers and checking bolt gap < not doing shit, ever
