Description

The Ruger AR-556 16.1" 5.56 Nato/223 Rem is from one of the nation's leading manufacturers of rugged, reliable firearms for the commercial sporting market.

Ruger Rapid Deploy folding rear sight provides windage adjustability, and pairs with the elevation adjustable front sight for a solid, reliable aiming system. The rear sight can be folded out of the way to make room for optics, but can be instantly redeployed if needed.
Six-position telescoping M4-style buttstock and Mil-Spec buffer tube allow the rifle to be properly sized for different shooters, or varying levels of outerwear or defensive gear.
Made from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum forging
Front sight post is elevation adjustable
Medium contour cold hammer-forged barrel with ultra-precise rifling provides exceptional accuracy, longevity and easy cleaning. The 1:8" twist rate stabilizes bullets from 35 to 77 grains, and the 5.56 NATO chamber allows the use of both 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem.
Also includes: One, 30-round Magpul PMAG.
