I'm not a total newbie, but my experience with civilian models is very limited. So here is my question:
I have been in the market for an AR15. I saw a model SR-556 by Ruger that looks good, feels good, but seems a little pricey at $1600. Anybody know anything about this rifle? Anyone have one or know someone who has one that can share their opinion? |
| For a built rifle I think they're pretty awesome. They've been getting good written reviews in publications but a few guys on the boards here have reported hammer pins walking. Depending on who you talk to it's debatable how big an issue this is. I have a built RRA DI gun and think a Ruger SR556 would be a perfect addition if I didn't think my wife would divorce me. Smart shopping would get you one for about $1500. If you go back about 3 or 4 pages on this board you'll pick up some threads on the Ruger SR556. |

hmmmm, what's the difference? -Ruger has a track record of recalling their new guns for one failure or another. -Proprietary upper/rail attachment. Burrito-sized roll pins. Why did they feel the need to do that? -Why the 1/9 twist? It's another 'me too' rifle, from the companies that say "hey, there's a lot of money to be made in this terrorist rifle stuff, lets throw our hat in the ring." just my opinion.
