Ruger Ar-556 5.56x45mm Nato 16.10 inch 10+1 Hardcoat Anodized 7075 T6

The Ruger 8502 AR-556 State Compliant is a reliable, law-abiding 5.56x45mm NATO semi-auto rifle built for duty, range days and practical field use, offering a 10+1 capacity and a 16.10" heavy contour cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:8" twist that stabilizes 35—77 grain bullets for accurate, long-lived performance; the flattop 7075-T6 aluminum upper is Type III hard coat anodized for durability while the 9310 alloy bolt is shot-peened and proof-tested for strength, and the chrome-plated carrier and gas key resist heat and fouling for higher round counts between cleanings. The fixed M4-style stock on a Mil?Spec buffer tube and ergonomic pistol grip give consistent cheek weld and extended trigger reach for controlled follow-up shots, while the Ruger Rapid Deploy folding rear sight and elevation-adjustable A2-height front sight provide optic-ready co-witnessing or instant iron backup. The patent-pending barrel nut/delta ring system accepts standard carbine handguards for one-person removal, the milled carbine-length gas block improves balance and handling, and the single-stage trigger plus enlarged guard accommodate gloved use; at 7.1 lb, 34.40" overall and black hardcoat finish, this model from Ruger's AR-556 lineup is tailored for compliance-conscious owners who want a durable, accurate semi-auto rifle for training, target work, and defensive considerations.
