So got home from Iraq for a few days. While there had momma pick me up a Ruger SR556. Gotta say, its not a bad little rig, but its not the complete package. The rifle itself is smooth, I was looking for another XCR when I ran accross this and am glad I picked it up to try out.
A couple downfalls I found with this rig, There is no front sling swivle attachment point. and the gas block is not completely lined up with the rail and upper.
The trigger is the best single stage factory trigger I have ever pulled, breaks constantly at 3 pounds according to the scale, doesnt have alot of creep or overtravel.
Now I cleaned this rifle before the 1st range trip and wasnt pulled apart until 1k rounds were downrange. Used 5 different makers/types of magazines. Colt, Pmag, Brownells, Cproducts, Center. I did have trouble on the first mag to come through this rifle, Every other round would not fully seat. After the first 6 rounds it settled down and didnt have another single hiccup. I think it is because the buffer tube was new and didnt have the worne down spots. Which Really wore down!
Anyway 2 days, 1000 Rounds of federal Walmart Value pack 55 FMJ. fun with friends and family.
Pics of course
