This model of the Ruger AR is equipped with standard handguards made from heat-resistant glass-filled nylon for shooting comfort and durability; in addition to a windage adjustable, Ruger® Rapid Deploy folding rear sight paired with an A2-style, F-height, elevation-adjustable front sight for a solid, reliable aiming system. A front sight tool is included, and the front sight allows co-witness with many optics.

The Ruger AR 556 is also equipped with a 7075-T6 aluminum, flat top upper receiver featuring a forward assist, dust cover and brass deflector; an ergonomic pistol grip with an extended trigger reach for more precise trigger control; a six-position, telescoping, M4-style buttstock and Mil-Spec buffer tube to allow the rifle to be properly sized for different shooters or varying levels of outerwear; a shot-peened and proof-tested 9310 steel bolt; an 8620 steel bolt carrier with the inside diameter of the carrier and gas key chrome plate, and the key staked for longevity; and a single-stage trigger that provides durable and reliable fire control. The enlarged trigger guard is designed to allow gloved shooting of the AR 556 rifle in cold weather.

A medium contour, cold hammer-forged, alloy barrel with 1:8" twist rifling provides exceptional accuracy with bullets from 35 to 77 grains; M4 feed ramps and a 5.56 NATO chamber allows the use of both 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem. ammunition; and the barrel as well as 1/2"-28 Ruger® flash suppressor have a matte black oxide finish to reduce glare and provide corrosion resistance.

Bear in mind that the barrel nut and delta ring of this Ruger AR 556 for sale allow for easy, one-person service of the heat-resistant glass-filled nylon handguard. The design accepts most standard carbine-length handguards, and the barrel nut uses a standard wrench. The gas block is located at a carbine-length (M4) position for improved balance and handling. Multiple attachment points include a QD socket and bayonet lug, for many sling and accessory mounting options. Serrations on the angled face of the gas block provide a low-glare surface.

Included in the Ruger AR-556 box is one, 30-round Magpul® PMAG® magazine.
