I was out last weekend running mine again. First "AR" I bought, and I'm now at around 3000 rounds. It's been an incredibly reliable and smooth shooting rifle. The G2S trigger helps too!

My SR556 "Takedown" with a Vortex Viper PST 1 - 4 x 24 optic. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a136/MADDOG95/Gun%20Posters/Ruger%20SR556%2010_zpsm5avd2os.jpg Ruger muffed the design of the bag. It should be able to accept the upper with an optic attached. |

I just bought the 556 Takedown! I haven't shot it yet, but I should be able to next week. Really looking forward to it. This is my first AR that I have bought, I've shot plenty just never owned one before.

My first generation SR556 and my SR556-VT before I had finished her upgrades, with their DI Olympic HBAR carbine cousin photo-bombing in the back.
My original SR556 by herself.

I just did a nice write up on my issue and was denied posting it because as a new member I'm limited to 2000 characters... O.K., so the short story I just purchased a .300 Blackout Barrel Kit for the SR-556 Takedown model and it came with a bayonet lug on the gas block and it has a nitride finish as opposed to the flat finish of previous SR-556 Rifles. When was that change made? Are the current SR-556 model rifles coming with the nitride finished barrel and bayonet lug?

Thinking of getting one of these... I drooled over them years ago when I was shopping for my first AR but they were just too expensive. Now that I find out they are discontinued It seems they are getting harder to find just when I want to add one to the herd. One of my LGS has a new SR-556FB, asking $1575 which seems a little pricey to me. Buds has the complaint model with no flash hider and fixed stock for $1100. GB prices are about in line with my LGS.
Is the general consensus that the SR-556 is a good choice for the money or am I better off just sticking with something like a 6920? |

Is it better than a Colt 6920? I guess that depends on what you want to do. If you plan on replacing forends and such, the Colt is a better choice. If you want a gun that's fun to shoot and like the idea of a piston over a gas tube the Ruger is the way to go. My advice would be to start watching gunbroker for an SR556E. Those are a "best value." |

Thanks for the input. I did see the take down version. Not a real fan of the take down guns myself. I usually keep most of my guns pretty stock. Just wanting to add another AR and something a little different than a plain jane rifle.
I am starting to think getting the 556SC from buds and ditching the pinned stock and buffer tube for something else is my best bet since for the price of 3 pmags and a new stock I basically get the same rifle I actually think it looks better without the flash hider on it. |
