RUGER AR-556

Performance and Reliability

The heart of this rifle is an 18″ cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel with a 1:8 twist, optimized for stabilizing a wide range of 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington projectiles. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, the cartridge offers manageable recoil, cost-effective practice rounds, and effective terminal performance within typical defensive and training distances. The carbine-length direct impingement gas system and single-stage mil-spec trigger deliver predictable cycling and a familiar trigger feel for shooters who prefer standard AR ergonomics.

Design and Features

Built on forged 7075-T6 aluminum uppers and lowers with a Type III hard-coat anodized finish, the platform resists wear and maintains a clean interface for accessories. The Ruger M4-style polymer handguard with heat shield protects the shooter’s hands during sustained strings of fire and provides mounting clearance for M-LOK attachments. The six-position collapsible stock allows rapid length-of-pull adjustments to fit different users and gear setups. A Ruger flash suppressor on a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle keeps the exterior profile standard for common muzzle devices.

Optics and Accessories Included

This pre-owned rifle is optic-ready and comes fitted with a Vortex 2x7x32 scope and a selection of practical extras: Crimson Trace 500 Lumen Flash Light, Vortex 45 degree angle mount, Tasco Red Dot, H2 buffer, Precision Reflex charging handle, Magpul hand stop, BCM QD mount and additional M-LOK rail parts. Note that no magazine is included. At a listed price of $1,099.99 and described in Very Good condition (clean bore, smooth action, light handling marks), this package represents a turnkey option for shooters who want added value without extensive aftermarket purchases.
