No, warranty doesn't cover international sales, but ruger does have excellent customer service, and may be able to assist you in repairing the Firearm should trouble arise. They recommend 1st contact the importer and have a tool on their site to look them up based on where you located.

Jovince, Ruger doesn't put a warranty in writing , but the reality is that Ruger will correct any manufacturing flaw or defect on any firearm for as long as you own it. They will typically pay shipping both ways. It doesn't matter if you are the original owner or not, and it makes no difference who you bought it from. Have a great day!

Jovince, just contact Ruger for a definitive answer at 1-336-949-5200 -- (Monday through Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm ET)

Jovince, Ruger has great customer service so I'm sure they would be willing to help you. I'd contact Ruger customer service at +1-336-949-5200 for a definite answer. Hope this helps.

Is this a Chrome Moly Vanadium barrel?

Walter, yes, this rifle has a 4140 chrome-moly 16" Barrel with 1:8" Right Hand Twist, 6 Groove Rifling, Threaded 1/2x28 and Ruger Flash Hider.

Is this rifle compliant with New Jersey Laws?

Kristof, no Sir, this model does not meet NJ requirements. Details under Rifles here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_jersey_restrictions.pdf

Unfortunately, not. It was my pleasure to assist you.

This guns has too many evil features for NJ, 30 Rd magazines, adjustable stock, and flash suppressor all make this gun illegal in NJ.

Does this Ruger shoot 556 as well as 223?

David, yes Sir. It has a 5.56 Chamber and will fire .223 ammunition no issue. Cheers and stay safe!

David, Yes both .223 and 5.56 NATO round will work safely in this sporting rifle. Can also put in 22 lr conversion bolt and magazine and shoot 22 lr rounds.

I've purchased this rifle, and I'm wondering if the Lancer .223 FDE magazines are the same shade of 'flat dark earth' (or close enough).

David, it won't be 100% but will be close enough not to matter Sir.

David, You can get Flat Dark Earth (FDE) magazines, lowers, or other accessories from 5 different manufacturers and they will all be slightly different. Best way to get everything to match is Cerakote it all the same color. Then it will match.

they will be close I would not worry about the mags matching as long as they work

Is this model piston driven or gas?

This model is direct gas impingement Cody. Standard AR Direct Gas Impingement Carbine Length Gas System

This is Direct Impingement. I own two Ruger AR 556 rifles and they do not disappoint. They require little out of the box treatment. They may be priced lower than a lot of AR type rifles, however, they do live up to the Ruger name.

Buds always delivers fast. Gun is a tack driver and came with a tool to adjust front sight. Had to make a couple adjustments to it but didn't take long to be dead on. Great quality and great price. Had zero issues with it so far and doesn't matter what ammo you use. Nice trigger. Light enough that my kids could shoot. Way better than what I used in the Marines

Beautiful AR. Ruger makes the best out of the box in my opinion. I have made some minor upgrades like a radian charging handle and some upgraded magpul furniture to give it the look I wanted. Also a holoson red dot. It shoots like a dream. Shot over 1000 rounds so far and haven't cleaned it yet. Still going strong. I just lube it once in a while.

Beautiful and does well on the range.
