And this next comment touches Para too:
The AR market is extremely crowded right now. I do not see the rationale to get into this market with nothing more than a "me too" product.

The AR w/ piston market is small.  Other than cleanness, many piston ARs can have folding stocks, a HUGE advantage if you want a portable weapon.

Does this mean that Ruger is admitting that the Mini-14 wasn't such a great idea after all?....

I just hope this one shoots more accurately than the Mini......
Why, yes....I'm the right-wing extremist Obama warned you about... ;D

I just wish Texas was as free and independent as everyone thinks it is...   :'(

Screw the three mags, does it come with three cases of ammo, that might offset the price a bit. :P
FQ13 who really wishes they'd given me my AR mag compatible mini (again :P :P :P)

For 2 grand I'd rather have a Wilson, Nighthawk, or that Bushmaster ACR if that ever comes out.  My $800 DMPS is good enough for me.

I wish for every manufacturer to make ARs. More AR's could eventually mean prices go down, mare competition means better AR's and if we put a few in everyone's homes, they'll be harder for the government to ever take. I hope Ruger puts out an SR556 tailored for hunting, similar to Remington's R15 and R25. That removes the arguments that these typs of guns aren't used for hunting.

Until a huge amount of attitudes change in CA, I won't be able to get the Ruger, but I'll keep taking anti's to the range. It's amazing how that's the easiest way to change their minds.
