The Ruger® AR-556® Semi-Auto Rifle with Free-Float Handguard operates with direct-impingement and a rifle-length gas system.
The lower receiver comes equipped with a Magpul® MOE® pistol grip and a MOE SL™ 6-position, collapsible buttstock on a mil-spec buffer tube. Upper and lower receivers are CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum forgings and Type III hard-coat anodized for maximum durability. A 15" free-float, M-LOK® handguard features accessory attachment slots at 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00 positions, and a continuous Picatinny rail interface with the flat-top, railed, upper receiver.
The upper receiver features a forward assist, dust cover, and brass deflector, while the Ruger® Elite 452® 2-stage, AR-Trigger offers a smooth, crisp break at approximately 4.5 lbs. The bolt carrier and gas key are chrome-plated to provide exceptional resistance to hot gases; and the gas key is securely staked to prevent loosening during extensive fire.
The cold hammer-forged steel alloy barrel boasts a 1:8" twist ratio to maximize accuracy with bullets ranging from 35 to 77 grains, and features an M4 feed ramp, and black Nitride finish for superior corrosion and moisture resistance. A factory-installed Ruger radial-port flash suppressor is attached to the 1/2"x28 threaded barrel, and is easily removed to accommodate aftermarket muzzle devices. The Ruger AR-556 Semi-Auto Rifle comes with one 30-round Magpul® PMAG® detachable box magazine. Made in USA.
Lightweight 13.50" aluminum handguard is free-floated for accuracy and features Magpul® M-LOK® accessory attachment slots along the 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 positions. The top rail has been docked in the center for improved grip access and reduced weight while maintaining Picatinny at the front and rear.
Flat top upper receiver features a Picatinny rail for easy attachment of magnified optic, red dot or open sights.
Made from 7075-T6 hard-coat anodized aluminum forgings, shot-peened and proof-tested 9310 steel bolt, and 8620 steel bolt carrier. The inside diameter of the carrier and gas key are chrome plated and the key is staked for longevity.
