Ruger SR556
- Thread starter k511
- Start date
I have a SR556E model. The E is for economy. No chrome plating or quad rails. It is an excellent rifle. Very well built and acurate. It shoots better than i do! I have not had a malfunction as of 1500 rounds fired.
Waiting for spring and warmer weather to add to the round count!

there are better piston options for the same price for a bit of higher quality.
LMT
LWRC
Stag Arms
CMMG
Adams Arms
Primary Weapons Systems (PWS)
they are inherently heavier because there is more to the mechanism. The best reviews I have read are from PWS. They are great at maintaining accuracy at a 7.5lb AR-15.

I paid $1090 for my SR556E. I have not ever seen those you mentioned sell for under $1500. Please point me in the right direction!
Edit: I just did a Gunbroker search and found the Adams, Stag, and CMMG to be similarly price -$1050 to $1200. The LMT, LWRC and the PWS were all significantly above $1500.

I see that you didn't actually read the OP:
anyone OWN one? [....] only looking for info on the Ruger, not really looking for a " try this instead" thanks.
Yes, I own one. The SR-556C. It's been a spectacular gun. Yes, it's heavier than DI guns, but the quality is excellent. It comes with a troy quad rail and troy flip up sights. I've got about 3,000 rounds through mine and like 2,400 of them are junky wolf ammo... even still.. I've never had a single failure of any kind. The extremely reliable. I like that the receiver and BCG stays clean(and cool) too. I can shoot several hundred rounds and pull out the BCG and with my bare hands and it's cool to the touch.
It's a fantastic gun. Kinda heavy. Kind of expensive... but it's a hell of a shooter.
