SR 556 Anyone??

[Ksail101]

Maybe this has been brought up or someone has already did a range report, but I would really like to know what someone who isnt paid by (No diss to you Mr. Bane I respect what you have to say) Ruger. I want an AR now that I have a new job and some money saved and really like the features that the SR 556 come with. Just want to hear how it is. Thanks- Kevin

Massad Ayoob on the Ruger SR 556

This is the Title of the thread.  I've posted range reports for my SR556.

I swear by mine.  IHO Ruger has in fact re-defined the AR platform.  As soon as Ruger begins to sell uppers, I'm replacing my Bushmaster upper with one.  Of course that's if I don't buy another complete SR556 before that.  A very good friend of my is going to buy one next week.  FYI, here in SW Oregon, Flying Cloud Trading Co. is selling them for $1495.  They're selling very well with Zero complaints.

Feel free to ask any questions, I just love mine.

When you want to sell your upper PM me. I bought a DPMS sportical because the price (less than six bills NIB) was to good to pass up. My only complaint is that as a lefty, I want the deflector and down the road, the non-chrome bore will catch up to me. If you want, or any one else wants, to sell an upper please PM me.

Cool Guys thanks alot. I knew someone had to have put something up. I did a quick scan on here and didnt see much.

Its been a year now since I started all this job stuff and in that time I havent been on here as much as I used to or like. I have been looking for threads about the 556.

Is 1500-1700 the normal price point now??? Or should I look around to find it cheaper??? This has been one thing for me that I havent liked. The 2000 msrp. There is a gun shop down the road from me likes to charge MSRP and all the workers are not too friendly, but they are the ruger dealer that is close.

JMHO, but the Para TTR (Ar) seems like a better gun, a more expensive gun, but a better gun. They started shipping this week.

Also questionable as far as who pays their rent (also, no offense)

Probably is the price point. I know my Sig 556 is almost $2g these days. Of course, other brands are cheaper for either a piston and especially non-piston rifles.

As for the gun shop, no reason to buy retail. Go find a good pawn shop, see what they charge for an FFL transfer, and buy the Ruger (if that's what you have your heart set on) from the cheapest mail order seller. At least around here, the gun shops charge $50-75 for a FFL transfer, the pawnshops about $20.
