AR 556 with M-LOK Handguard
This Ruger AR 556 Semi-Auto Rifle operates with a traditional, direct-impingement system and comes equipped with 11″ Magpul M-LOK handguard for attachment of compatible accessories, and a Sig Sauer® Romeo4T red-dot sight for accurate targeting. The waterproof, IPX-8 rated, and fog-proof sight features motion-activated illumination to power up and down with motion and a 100,000+ hour runtime. The 6-position M4-style buttstock on the AR-556 allows rapid adjustment according to the clothing and tactical gear the user wears, or for moving from open environments to tight quarters.
The medium-contour cold-hammer-forged barrel has a 1:8 twist rate that stabilizes bullets from 35 to 77 grains. A Ruger flash suppressor is attached to the barrel with a 1/2″-28 thread. The barrel nut and delta ring are designed for 1-person removal and installation of most standard carbine length handguards. The anodized flattop upper receiver is made from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum and includes a forward assist, dust cover, and brass deflector. The Ruger AR-556 Semi-Auto Rifle includes one 30-round Magpul PMAG® magazine and operates with 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington ammunition.
FEATURES
- 11″ aluminum handguard is free-floating for accuracy and features Magpul M-LOK accessory attachment slots along the 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00 positions with additional slots on the angled faces near the muzzle.
- Flattop upper receiver features a Picatinny rail for easy attachment of magnified optic, red dot, or open sights. Made from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum forging, the flattop upper receiver includes a forward assist, dust cover, and brass deflector.
- Six-position, telescoping, M4-style buttstock, and Mil-Spec buffer tube allow the rifle to be properly sized for different shooters or varying levels of outerwear.
- Bolt is machined from 9310 alloy steel and is shot peened and pressure (proof) tested to ensure strength, structural integrity, and durability.
- Heavy contour, cold hammer-forged barrel with ultra-precise rifling provides exceptional accuracy, longevity, and easy cleaning. The 1:8″ twist rate stabilizes bullets from 35 to 77 grains, and the 5.56 NATO chamber allows the use of both 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem. ammunition. M4 feed ramps provide improved reliability, and the matte black oxide finish reduces glare and provides corrosion resistance.
- Ergonomic pistol grip features an extended trigger reach for more precise trigger control.
- The bolt carrier and gas key have chrome-plated inside diameters to provide exceptional resistance to hot gases. The gas key is staked so that it will not loosen after extensive firing. A matte black oxide finish on the exterior of the bolt carrier provides corrosion resistance.
- Single-stage trigger provides durable and reliable fire control. The enlarged trigger guard is designed to allow gloved shooting
