Quality Price Value
Took weapon completely down and cleaned thoroughly and lubricated... Upon
Firing 1st round it jammed, l cleared jam and proceeded o cf again it jammed. This mag was loaded with 55gr 5.56 x45 NATO fmj . I then tried to run a mag of 55 gr Rem.223, same issue. I got on YouTube and found a gunsmith that in the video walked you through how make any AR take almost any type 5.56 x45 ammo and Rem.223 all brands including steel shell casings.l followed his step by step. The extractor pin was .5000 to long causing the shell to not seat properly in the bolt. Using a dremel I was able to remove the desired amount. Polished the ramps steel case ammo no problem, other than it is so dirty.... But once this minor issue was resolved commenced to run approx six hundred rounds of ammo , mixed it up.... Steel case , some reloads I got from another buddy as well as premium rounds. Approx 400 5.56x45
The other 200 all Rem.223 not a single misfire,jam etc after the custom work.
I really love the feel of this weapon .I love Rugar weapons...have several others.. Its a lot of bang for the buck (Posted on 5/19/2017) - Great Price, functions as should. Review by Roy

S&W sport and others that i found, both seemed really nice but the ruger felt better to me , have always had good luck
with many other ruger products and when this was the gun of week @ RK for 569.00 it was a no brainer, get one when
u can and u wont be dissappointed, Thanks Ruger for a great item and Thanks to RK for stocking it, no wonder they
have trouble keeping it in stock probably the best ar u can buy for the money and built very solid to others i have compared
to at different gun shows and gun shops .

Quality Price Value
The Firearms Personnel at the Bonita Springs store are very informative and well-educated in the Firearms business they were able to help me make my decision on purchasing the Ruger AR system online and having it delivered to the store after doing the FFL background check online at the store. By purchasing online I got a brand new unopened box firearm and a flat rate shipping of 9.95 and there is no FFL license fee if the weapon is picked up from a Rural King store.
I bought a hundred rounds of Tul ammo steel case 223 went to Cecil Webb and fired off all of them without a hitch, the platform shoots accurate out of the box and needs nothing more than what you want to put on it 4 looks. The Ruger AR platform can accept any standard AR carbine foregrips for the addition of any accessories that you see fit to use.
I have looked recently on RKGUNS.COM website and have yet to see the sr-556 takedown with 300 AAC Blackout option, this would be my next choice.
Again, a shout out to the gentlemen at the rual King Bonita Springs Florida store as it is a much better place to handle or purchase a new firearm than any of the gun stores that I visited in Fort Myers. (Posted on 5/14/2016) - great gun Review by cy
