The Ruger AR556; my thoughts.I recently purchased a Ruger AR556 for my mother for $627 out the door (then bathed it in Magpul lol). We put 300 rounds through it today and it ran flawlessly and was a pretty soft shooter. The ammo used was Lake City (Federal) 55 grain 5.56 NATO.I have only one gripe with the rifle and that is it’s bolt carrier. As you can see it is severely undercut which exposes much more of the firing pin than a milspec carrier. If you look at the last pic you can see what the hammer does to the edges of the firing pin after only 300 rounds. Not good.I’ve since swapped it out for a milspec carrier with no undercut. Problem solved. -- source link
