Ryan, please keep us posted.

I recall that you & I exchanged private emails on this, and a top Ruger exec was the one who said to send them the rifle.

Please let us know when it comes back…and how it comes back.

Thanks,

Mas

Its been over a month since they recieved my SR-556. I am not at all happy with the rifle or service. I cannot reccomend this rifle for anyones use nor will I reccomend Ruger’s service department. A month and a half may not be a long time to you guys but it seems like long dang time to me. I cant wait to get it back that way it can finance a real AR.

I love my SR556. It doesn’t have a lot of recoil and the gas piston systems allows it to fire a lot cleaner and cooler than a normal AR. It was a bit pricey but in my opinion well worth it. The only problem I’ve had is it jammed up after the the 3rd shot with steel casing ammo. That stuff is hard on equipment anyway. Ive fired 800 rounds rounds of brass jacket ammo w/o cleaning it and I had no trouble at all. It’s a great weapon!

Has anyone heard the repair neccesary to keep my SR-556 from gouging a hole in the buffer tube? I have a request in to Ruger no news from them yet. I only have about 60 rounds thru it and gouge is small now. Did the test rifle show any signs of this?

what Ruger needs to do is come up with a .556/.762 GARAND type rifle with box magazine insertable from top down only… Although I’m in free florida i would be a first customer

I am loving what I am hearing about this rifle and I want to know are they going to put it in other calibers? 7.62/39?

This rifle makes the AR-15 look good to me. And that’s really saying something. I’ve always had a bitter taste in my mouth when handling Colt’s (and clones’) squirt gun-type, franken-gun offerings. And the gas system just always seemed hinky to me. This one looks like a coherent, precision-made machine outfitted with the best parts money can buy. When I just want to have some pure fun, I’m a wooden stock, traditional tube magazine, semi-auto .22LR shooter here. It’s what I grew up on. But I’ve always eyed that .223 for it’s fantastic trajectory. I like me some long-range shooting without having to hold 6 inches over, too. You look like you’re having a literal blast with that rifle.

I wonder if ruger will make these available as uppers for the aftermarket, it could prove to quite lucrative
