Ruger Ar-556 5.56x45mm Nato 16.10in 30+1 Hard Coat Anodized

The Ruger AR-556 5.56x45mm NATO blends battle-proven AR-15 ergonomics with thoughtful manufacturing for shooters who demand reliability and practical performance; the AR-556 series features a 16.10" cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:8" twist and 5.56 NATO chamber to handle 35—77 grain bullets, a mid-length gas system for smoother cycling and reduced recoil impulse, and a Ruger Elite 452 two-stage trigger delivering a crisp 4.5 lb pull and quicker lock time for tighter groups. The lightweight 13.5" free-float aluminum handguard with Magpul M-LOK slots at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock and a docked top rail gives you mounting real estate for optics and accessories while trimming weight, and the flat-top upper with Picatinny rail accepts magnified optics or red dots with ease. Built from 7075-T6 hard-coat anodized forgings with a shot-peened, proof-tested 9310 steel bolt and chrome-plated carrier internals, and finished with a Ruger matte black oxide barrel and hard coat anodized receiver, this semi-auto rifle ships with a B5 Bravo collapsible stock and B5 grip for modern handling. If you're looking for a versatile rifle for range work, duty applications, or hunting small and medium game with modern cartridges, the AR-556's reliability, accuracy-oriented features and modular M-LOK platform make it a practical choice.
