Ruger AR-556 5.56 NATO Rifle, 16.1-Inch Barrel, Free-Float Handguard, 10-Round

Description

This Ruger AR-556 5.56 NATO rifle combines a 16.1-inch barrel, free-float handguard, and 10-round magazine in a semi-automatic AR-style package. The 10-round setup gives this model a distinct place beside the 30-round free-float version.

The AR-556 family uses the familiar AR-15 style layout with Ruger’s approach to the receiver, controls, and rifle furniture. A free-float handguard is a meaningful differentiator on this model because it gives the rifle a cleaner accessory-ready front-end layout than basic handguard configurations.
