Ruger SR-556

[40calsheepdog]

So I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find one of the new Ruger SR-556 when they are shipped (sometime this month from what I understand.) If anyone has any info they can share or anyone can help point me in the right direction please let me know.

Thanks
Joshua

I am told by a reliable source that Elmore's in Greenwood has had one in already. Sticker was $1999.99, and it sold. Once they are available in numbers and the newness has worn off some, a realistic street price would be $1499 (available for preorder at Impact Guns) to $1599.

I really hope functionality and durability are there, because it seems to be a LOT of gun for the money.

I still find myself thinking "ruger put out an ar?" This might just be on my list if the reviews are good after a year or so. Always been a fan of ruger for the most part.

They've certainly won back my respect, just wonder why the 1-9 twist barrel. Never thought I'd say it but I might be giving a ruger a look in the future. uess my reply was useless, by the time I buy they'll be around.

Just picked one up from Bradis yesterday. Can't wait to get it out and .

I couldn't fight the urge and had to give in.

When I was trading my Sig for the M&P15T, I was looking at the Ruger too. But when I picked up the Ruger, it noticeable to heavier than the M&P15T. Both guns look very similar except the Ruger has a gas valve on top of the barrel. It is also piston gas system I believe. Very nice gun but I like the weight on the M&P15T better and it's cheaper too. Easier for my budget.

I've been reading about how front heavy it is. I'd like to give one a try too. But, I'm going to wait a bit. They were having problems with carrier tilt when they first came out.
