FEATURES:

The Ruger AR-556 is a versatile and robust firearm designed for both tactical applications and recreational shooting. Chambered in .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, this rifle delivers reliable performance and adaptability, making it a favored choice among both novice and experienced shooters. Its well-thought-out design combines modern features with Ruger’s signature quality, resulting in a firearm that excels in a variety of environments.

At the core of the Ruger AR-556 is its 16.10-inch barrel, which is crafted to provide excellent accuracy while remaining lightweight and maneuverable. This barrel length is optimal for various shooting scenarios, allowing for quick handling and easy transport. The design supports consistent performance, ensuring that each round maintains a precise trajectory whether you're engaging targets at the range or participating in tactical drills. The cold hammer-forged construction adds to the barrel's durability, making it capable of withstanding the rigors of regular use.

The rifle features a black synthetic 6-position stock that enhances its versatility. This adjustable stock allows shooters to customize the length of pull to fit their individual preferences and shooting styles. Whether you are in a standing position, shooting from a bench, or using a prone stance, the ability to adjust the stock contributes to a more comfortable and stable shooting experience. The lightweight synthetic material is also designed for resilience, ensuring that the stock can endure harsh conditions while maintaining its structural integrity.

Equipped with a black polymer grip, the Ruger AR-556 prioritizes comfort and control. The ergonomic design of the grip ensures that it fits comfortably in the hand, promoting better handling and reduced fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The textured surface provides a secure hold, essential for maintaining control during rapid fire or adverse weather conditions. This attention to ergonomic design contributes to the overall user-friendly experience that the Ruger AR-556 is known for.

One of the standout features of the Ruger AR-556 is its impressive 30+1 capacity. This magazine configuration allows for ample firepower, ensuring that you have enough ammunition readily available for a variety of scenarios. The 30-round magazine is a standard in the industry, allowing for quick reloads and sustained fire without the frequent interruptions that smaller capacity magazines can impose. This feature is particularly beneficial for competitive shooters and those who may find themselves in defensive situations.

The Ruger AR-556 is engineered for reliability, incorporating a direct impingement gas system that ensures consistent cycling. This system has been a long-standing choice for AR-style rifles, known for its simplicity and effectiveness. Additionally, the rifle is designed with a lightweight and durable upper and lower receiver, which contributes to its overall performance and handling.

Safety is a key consideration in the design of the Ruger AR-556. The rifle features an ambidextrous safety selector, accommodating both right- and left-handed shooters. This thoughtful inclusion enhances user comfort and accessibility, making it a suitable option for a wider range of shooters. The rifle also includes a forward-assist mechanism, allowing for easy chambering of rounds and reducing the likelihood of malfunctions.

Customization is a hallmark of the Ruger AR-556. The rifle is equipped with a Picatinny rail on the upper receiver, providing a platform for attaching various optics, lights, and accessories. This modular design allows users to personalize their rifle to fit specific needs, whether for tactical use, competition, or recreational shooting. The ability to easily attach and detach accessories makes the Ruger AR-556 a highly adaptable firearm, suitable for a variety of shooting scenarios.
