The Ruger M556 might be a good shooter, but I will never know. When I received this rifle and discovered you could not remove the barrel shroud foregrip without gunsmith tools, I dumped this gun like a hot potato. This is a major design flaw in my mind. After a day on the range, the shroud was full of grass and dirt and could only be cleaned with an air compressor. If you want to oil the exterior barrel, use a bore rod and swab. I now see that Ruger has come out with a take down model. I would assume they fixed the design flaw. If you can\'t field strip a rifle down to the barrel, it make for a good door stop.

Had such high hopes for this rifle. Terrible accuracy. Tried Multiple types of ammunition and could not get better than 2.5 inch groups at 50 and 100 yards. Worked flawlessly but horrendous accuracy. Not a sniper or professional marksman but I was a Forward observer that retired from the Army. Certainly Glad this was not my assigned rifle in Afghanistan.

I really enjoy this rifle! I have put about 400 rounds through it, and it just tears holes in the paper at 100-200 yards. The piston-driven system, paired with chrome plated components keeps cleaning easy. It is well worth the price tag for the ideal AR setup.

I just picked it up yesterday and have not had the chance to fire it, but this Ruger SR-556FB is a real beauty! This thing is built like a TANK, and happily knowing and owning various Ruger products over the years, along with the many positive reviews, I can only expect that we will have many happy years together!

I am very happy with the firearm from a performance standpoint, as well as all the accessories that come standard. I will have to investigate, possibly with Ruger's assistance, the functionality of the BUIS. To sight the rifle in, at 25 yards the sights require full windage right. After firing approx 300 rounds downrange in training scenarios, I didn't have one malfunction, and the receiver end of the firearm is still clean (one reason I chose a gas piston version). I would purchase this firearm again, and always recommend Buds Gun Shop to my friends.

The SR-556 arrived in perfect condition, its not nearly as heavy as some people make it out to be either. Overall great gun, my only complaint, is that when i received my SR, the bolt carrier wasn't actually the shiny chrome you see in the pictures and videos, however its not black like the ones that come on the ''E'' model either, (or used to). I will have to contact Ruger and see if they made a mistake or if they are coating their bolt carriers now with a very light grayish paint. for reference this is the FB model 5902. It came with 3 30round pmags and all of the troy industries goodies as well. Like i said before great gun, i would still purchase it again in a heartbeat.

Received my SR556 yesterday. I have to say for my first rifle I didn't go wrong. I have always liked Ruger small arms but this rifle has me completely sold in their line of arms. This truly is as advertised and for a price that cant be beat. This rifle comes with a great stock and grip and clean, although I field stripped and cleaned mine out of the box which is a good thing to do. Buds was fast and painless on the shipping. I love the payment options too. This was my first purchase through Budsgunshop.com and I will most definitely continue to purchase from them. I cant wait for Spring to hit the range.
