It's a Ruger SR-556 Carbine. I still gotta get some ammo for it. It's my first AR, and I'm excited to shoot it. Edited May 1, 2012 by Bama IceMan NZ, simplemod, Ruggerxi and 1 other 4 Awards

I've been 'studying' AR's for a while now. I almost bought a Colt, a Bushmaster, a Smith and Wesson, and a sweet rifle from a small local manufacturer Arrow Arms. I saw this one in the Armslist and since it was a Ruger (and I love them), I did some reading. This is not a direct gas impingement operated action, like most AR's, but a piston action. There are a lot of piston conversions out there for gas action rifles, but this was designed to be a piston action gun. I like the look of the gun as well, and its stats are real good. You can read about it here or here. I also got a sweet deal on this one, about $400 to $500 dollars off what it is valued (with some upgrades and if it were new of course). It's got little use and looks new. I've looked at literally hundreds of AR's, held dozens of them. I've shot exactly zero, so I'm not sure that I'm the one to give you any advice.. but I hope this is a sweet rifle. Awards

Anymore they are all pretty close in quality. So it comes down to the small cosmetic differences and price. Just make sure the one you settle on has a chrome lined barrel. Some of the cheaper models dont chrome the inside of the barrel. Bama, the Aimpoint red dot sites are nice too. But again its a preference thing. Take your gun to a store and have them mount the different sites on it to see which feels more comfortable to you in a quick site. One may be easier for you to acquire the target. For me I tried both and the Aimpoint worked better. I hope you wore hearing protection when you first fired it !!! The AR's are pretty damn loud. Congrats on the new toy !!! Awards
