I just saw an ad for a Ruger AR.
Any thoughts? It seems like a new market expansion, or have i just been off the ball for a long time? JTBJ |

Have a 556E and it is a tack driver that has given me zero problems. I paid 1k for it, and yeah the DI guys always complain about piston AR's
Here is a pic of it with my Sig 556 http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/5973/sig556sr556.jpg |

Yep, pissed-in driven. At least they didn't screw up the 1911. They do seem fairly decent though. Some say they don't wanna run steel. completely false, I have well over 1500 through my SR556E, only had it for about 5 months, not one malfunction, eat steel as well as brass any day of the week and does it a lot cleaner than any DI AR |

Ruger decided not to market another copy of the AR15 especially with all the current players in the market. It seems like everyone and their mom is making one now. So they decided to capitalize on the emerging piston AR market which doesn't have as many established players. Ruger also makes one of the better systems IMO. |

Factory flash hider. You can remove it and replace it with something else. |
| Have had mine since January with over 2.5K rounds through it. 500 rounds of Wolf with no failures. Added giselie trigger, mag pul pieces and AAC breakout suppressor mount, and rifle runs mighty fine! Just added a Holo sight for social work and the rifle is now good to go for what I will use it for. |

I bought mine shortly after Ruger first made them available. So far its been 100% reliable. I don't have an exact round count, but it's approx 900-1100 rounds. I don't get to use it as often as I would like.
