Exactly the gun I wanted
After shooting several hundred rounds thought it I couldn't ask for more. Several other people have shot it and are surprised at how well it feels and shoots. I had some problems with factory reloads, after that not one issue. Even steel ammo runs great.

Awesome Tactical Rifle
I purchased my Ruger 5.56 about 6 months ago and have fired over 700 rounds without a stoppage or malfunction. I would highly recommend this weapon to anyone looking for a dependable and accurate weapon on a budget. I was shooting respectable groupings at 100 yards using the factory sights.

Fantastic!!!!!!
I just purchased mine and have seen ZERO problems with it! Out of the box it was accurate and ready to go! I've fired around 500 rounds of 5.56 through it with no jams or issues. Its every bit as good as my friends' top of the line AR rifles. I Just added a quad-rail and you can no longer tell it is in anyway an entry level rifle. Looks great, and shoots great! AWESOME GUN!!!!

BEST BUY FOR AR 15 March 12, 2015
When is this item will be available? It is cost effective for hunting and target shooting.>>> REPLY: Ruger is increasing production but there are many people waiting at the door each morning to get one. We do not know when they will be readily available- but soon we hope.

Highly Recommend this AR
Was looking for my first AR15 and overwhelmed with all of the choices out there. DPMS, S&W, PSA, ATI, etc. in the entry level price range. Should I spend more?? This question I kept asking myself. Stumbled onto the Ruger AR-556 and was impressed with the features including the forward assist and dust cover for the same money as the M&P Sport. After some consideration I purchased the Ruger. I'm super happy with it! The build quality and performance are superb. It's very accurate and now after nearly 1000 rounds through it (both 5.56 & .223) with no malfunctions or issues whatsoever, I'm still very happy and would recommend this gun to anyone looking for an inexpensive AR and no need to spend more!

Great Carbine for the $$$
Super impressed by the reliability of this weapon. I have built 25+ ARs, some with pistons. Accuracy is not bad either, best group has been .4" w/ 77gr SMKs and .9" with (ZQI/MKE) 62gr FMJs. No malfunctions with 1200 rounds so far.
