Ruger Announces New AR-556

‍

"We are pleased to announce that the AR‐556® rifle with free‐float handguard is now chambered in .300 Blackout. Pairing the 16.10" cold hammer‐forged barrel with a 1:7" twist and pistol‐length gas system results in a rifle that functions reliably with lighter supersonic hunting rounds and heavy, subsonic rounds. The barrel features a 5/8"‐24 thread pattern capped with a .30 caliber flash suppressor and is surrounded by an 11" aluminum free‐float handguard. The Magpul® M‐LOK® accessory attachment slots, standard AR pistol grip and mil‐spec six‐position stock allow for easy user customization. "
