Ruger Ar 556 5.56x45mm Nato 16.10inch 30 Round Hardcoat Anodized

The Ruger AR-556 (model 8500) is a ready-to-run semi-auto rifle chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO that blends duty-grade construction with shooter-friendly features for range use, training, home defense, and varmint hunting; its 16.10" medium-contour steel barrel with 1:8" twist and 1/2"-28 threading accepts muzzle devices and delivers dependable accuracy with common .223 Rem/5.56 NATO loads, while the Type III hard coat anodized aluminum receiver and glass-filled nylon handguard keep weight at a manageable 6.5 lb and resist wear in tough conditions. The platform is optic-ready and comes with an adjustable Ruger Rapid Deploy folding rear sight and an adjustable A2-style front post for immediate, backup-capable sighting, and the single-stage trigger and 6-position collapsible stock provide controllable follow-up shots and ergonomic length-of-pull options for shooters of different sizes. With a 30+1 capacity, flash suppressor muzzle, aluminum receiver, and a Magpul PMAG-friendly interface, the AR-556 is a straightforward AR-15-style rifle built for reliability and common AR accessories; FFL transfer is required for purchase.
