Description
Ruger AR-556 5.56 NATO 16.1" Barrel 30+1 Black Collapsible Stock 8500
Ruger AR-556
The Ruger AR-556 is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO, designed for versatility and reliability in tactical, hunting, and recreational shooting. It features a 16.1" medium contour cold hammer-forged alloy barrel with a 1:8" RH twist for exceptional accuracy with bullets from 35 to 77 grains, and a 1/2"-28 threaded muzzle with a matte black oxide Ruger flash suppressor for reduced glare and corrosion resistance. The black synthetic collapsible stock adjusts from 10.25" to 13.50" length of pull, offering a customizable fit for various shooters.
This rifle is constructed with a 7075-T6 hard-coat anodized aluminum forging for the flat top upper receiver, featuring a forward assist, dust cover, and brass deflector, paired with a shot-peened and proof-tested 9310 steel bolt and 8620 steel bolt carrier with chrome-plated interior and staked gas key for longevity. The adjustable Ruger Rapid Deploy folding rear sight and A2-style, F-height elevation-adjustable front sight provide a solid aiming system, while the glass-filled nylon handguard with M-LOK compatibility ensures heat resistance and accessory mounting. The single-stage trigger with an enlarged guard supports gloved use, and the carbine-length gas block includes a QD socket, bayonet lug, and serrated low-glare surface.
The Ruger AR-556 is ideal for home defense, varmint hunting, and range training, delivering a balanced 6.5 lb design with a 30+1 capacity using a 30-round Magpul PMAG. Its M4 feed ramps and 5.56 NATO chamber accommodate both 5.56 and .223 Rem. ammunition, making it suitable for shooters who need a rugged, adaptable AR platform for diverse applications.

Love the product just got it haven’t tried it yet but it looks great
My order came loaded with rust and was used. My ppf called and said you need to look at this. They and I agreed that whoever packed this thing needed to be fired. I will have to say gunprime was courteous and quick about picking up the wrong gun and replacing it. That is why I gave them a 4 and not a 2. Now that I have it, I am very happy...Ed
Just got it a week ago but love it!
Really happy with my Ruger AR 556. I bought a number of weapons from Gunprime and I’m always happy with The way they do business.
Haven't had a chance to fire it yet but looks and feels great.
My order was processed and shipped quickly. I received multiple notifications on the shipping status of my order until I was able to pick it up. Very impressive. Thank you.
Nice gun. Very fun to shoot. I'm new in the AR world. Finding this to be a great start
Quality product with quick response shipping!
So far so good with my new Ruger. Only put 20 rounds through it but I can easily see how shooters eat up ammo. Very fun to shoot. Gunprime was awesome, shipped very next day. Will do business with them again.
This gun is cheap and amazingly accurate out of the box. Absolutely zero jams and I ran 300 rounds through it the day I got it.
This is a must buy if you are into guns. Without doubt one of my most precious AR i own.
Great shopping.
Purchased this gun as my 1st AR15. I have nothing but good things to say about ordering through gunprime.com. I placed my order on a Friday morning and it cleared my credit card processing period on Monday. Not long after the order cleared I received an Email from gunprime asking me what local FFL dealer I wanted the gun shipped to. I opted to pick the gun up from one of their partners in Birmingham, Al. I picked the gun up on Wednesday with no issues.
This is a very basic AR. I've heard others complain about the trigger being heavy or gritty but mine is smooth and clean. The handgrip is comfortable but I can see it getting slick if your hands get sweaty. Everything else is very tight and clean. This is probably the best bang for your buck you can find.
