A guy in 2019 used it before 😂
i spent 1000 on it but its ok because it was bought with my stim check.
Still have my original sr556, and it’s been reliable, accurate, and ALWAYS get the job done…..regardless. Still a keeper, even after all these years😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He's able to translate complexity into plain old talk.
I’m buying mine when I turn 18 next year!
Had mine for years…..great gun!!!
I’ve been a subscriber for this channel for years, but I’ll tell you what I don’t understand. Everybody saying this is your basic no-frills gun. Like what the hell is a high frills AR 15 anyway? Just because it cost $2000 or more makes it great? No, that’s a bunch of crap. This Ruger will do anything a $2000 gun will. If you wanna pay for a mom and Pops CNC machines go for it but if you’re sensible, you’ll purchase one of these Ruger‘s. All of them have cold hammer forged barrels so don’t fall for that crap either.
Dear god those bugs are so fucking loud man please for the love of all things holy use a mic and a noise gate
Acabo de comprar la mía hoy ,🙏🏻😎
Holy crap that sounds loud!
I got one and had to send it back to Ruger and they had to replace the bolt carrier. They will be shipping it back to me soon so I hope it works well now
Birdcage exhaust goes to 6' o clock and rear sight is plastic. Other than that it's good to go.
Can get today for $599 I'm really tempted. Was looking for pa15 but the store had a ruger for around the same price.
It’s too bad they stopped making this great budget friendly rifle! Along with the 10/22 takedown!
The thing is about the budget bang bangs, the parts. The Ruger and Smith&Wesson have inexpensive parts, however the cast metal lower frame are equally good, on par with top AR15 brands..So… take a tour online of Palmetto State Armory AR15 parts and accessories you can literally hot rod your AR15 to be equally as top rated. The military buys their M4 carbine, same thing you see here only in full auto. For about $495.00 each. Its really just down to which name you want to rep
But you can turn your Ruger or Smith Wesson into straight up Gucci, just buy a part at a time
This was my first and only AR so far
The ruger ar 556 is extremely under rated
You should make a video of cleaning and doing a function / safety check after cleaning 🧼
Take down, any case? Thanks
