I was wondering does the warranty still work if FFL dealer is the one importing the rifle?

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. Bottom of this page full details https://www.ruger.com/dataProcess/customerService/ "International Customers If you live outside of the United States and your Ruger® firearm requires service, please contact the Ruger distributor(s) in your country. Select a Country If you do not see a distributor listed for your country, please contact our Export Department directly (Telephone: 603-863-3300, Fax: 603-863-9371), with a full description of your Ruger firearm, serial number, and details of the problem you are having. It is very costly and time-consuming to return your firearm to the U.S. for service, and we may be able to resolve the problem locally. Please understand that the export of firearms always involves U.S. State Department or Commerce Department approval and licenses, which can take some time to obtain."

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.

This AR is Perfect !!! This would have been my 2nd Ruger, however I'm temporarily working in Florida down from Alaska. Instead of shipping a gun down I made a purchase from Bud's. everything appeared to be going as planed, once I got to the dealer he refused to give it to me due to the fact my address on my State of Alaska DL has a PO Box instead of actual street address, I live in Bush AK off the Highway system. Anyway Excellent gun just Buyer Beware have a street address on your Drivers License, I'm certain 99.9 % of the people do but I did not so it cost me 105.00 to have it returned.

This is a GREAT firearm. I was kind of nervous due in on the fact I have NEVER Gotten anything from offline but for some reason I wanted this so bad that I gave it a try and I’m glade I did. It was shipped pretty fast, everything was new and just as the Description said and I was able to use my FFL dealer close to home. I will be buying more things from this site and I’m always thinking about Becoming a member.
