Dagnit...
I'm reading this article at a work computer and it blocked the Ruger site. Now I feel blind.

Patriot Ordnance Factory, Leitner-Wise, Bushmaster - and a couple others - have been making gas piston uppers for years.
Still a nice gun. Hope they do well.

The flat top upper receiver and barrel assembly is specific to the Ruger SR-556.Uh, oh.
Colt uses it's own pin diameter. I can swap out my Armalite with a Bushmaster and all the rest of the manufacturers. I have a Bush/Lite sitting in the toy box. Bushmaster lower with Armalite upper. I also have a full competitive match upper that I can use on my Armalite lower which swaps out for my Leg match upper.

I don’t think so. It may have more in common with an AK but featuring a two piece piston.
A lot of people don’t realize the action of the Mini is based on the M-1 Carbine and not the M-1 rifle/M-14.

You could get about 10 10/22’s for 1 of these. I am sure however Ruger did their version of the AR right.

.223 Remington is not the same as .22LR.

That may be true but I’m done for awhile. I have to figure out how to use what I have. Some of them are getting neglected.

Those are blocked also. Have to wait 'till I get home.
Guess it's expected working for a eurotrash company.

It’s pretty. I would like to get an AR 15. Anyone know anything about American Spirit out of Scottsdale, AZ?
I would like to get a Bushmaster, or Colt, or maybe Stag Arms, but American Spirit seems to actually have AR’s ready to ship.
To: smokingfrog
Lever gun and wheel gun nut here (probably saw too many cowboy movies when I was a kid). Been looking at AR’s, this might be the animal I buy. Grudgingly jumping into the modern times I guess.

Meanwhile the Indians have gone to modern assault rifles while you were spinning the cylinders of your revolvers. =)

A 1x9 barrel?!
LOL, Ruger...
Looks pretty good otherwise. Hopefully they've learned to make better barrels than what they put on Mini-14's.
To: bandit123
Funny, while they have plenty of expensive .223, they don't have any of the stuff I
want.

I’m a Rock River Arms guy, but I wouldn’t mind owning one of these too an H&K 416 or a Sig 556. There, an improvement. I have a very tricked out RRA and would rather pi$$ on Ruger's grave for his betrayals of the Constitution. I don't care if he was considered an icon of the industry, his backstab is unforgivable. Especially when there are other, better choices.
