The UPC number and the reviews has pointed out that this is indeed Ruger AR-556 Lower Elite with elite trigger. Unfortunately, Buds do a poor job of putting up the right detection and pictures for their products, hence finding products with mismatch pictures are quite common. But you can confirm the product by copying and pasting the UPC number. That is the universal code uses by different retailers. I hope this helps!

August, the Ruger 556 model 8516 does come with the two stage Ruger Elite 452 AR-Trigger. The trigger on the Ruger website you linked to doesn't actually look like the photo. The grip and partial lower aren't included with the trigger, it's just showing you what it would look like installed in an ar15 lower. So the grip and silver part aren't included with the actual trigger, guessing that's why you think it looks different but assure you it's the Ruger Elite 452 AR-Trigger. Hope this helps and hopefully explained it well.

August, the Ruger 556 model 8516 absolutely does come with the two stage Ruger Elite 452 AR-Trigger. Always trust the Manufacturer website info for a given Model Number or UPC code over vendor pictures. Cheers and stay safe!
