RUGER AR-556

This Ruger AR-556 is an affordable, American-made semi-automatic modern sporting rifle with rugged reliability. It features a milled gas block, a telescoping M4-style butt-stock, and an ergonomic pistol grip with extended trigger reach. The flattop upper is forged from aerospace-grade aluminum, includes a forward assist, dust cover and brass deflector, and is hard coat anodized for durability, while a built-in rail makes for the easy addition of optics and accessories. The medium contoured barrel is cold hammer-forged from chrome-moly steel for longevity and easy cleaning. Heat-resistant, glass-filled nylon handguards aid in comfort and durability, and the single-stage trigger, with enlarged trigger guard for gloved shooting, assists with reliable fire control. This rifle is suitable for target shooting, home defense, and hunting.
