How did they get screwed by MD?
If you mean like Bushmaster, first they would have to care one way or the other before it could be said that they were "screwed by MD", and Bushmaster most certainly doesn't.
Ruger AR-556

Apologies for the confusion. I was confusing beretta for ruger. Excuse me

Back on topic.... 
Who can make a judgement call if these are MD legal? Or is one of these "too close to tell" type things that no one will even go there?

Yes I would sell some stuff to be able to get one at that price. It's a ruger. Should be damn near bulletproof on Functioning it's like any of my others.

Probably the best thing would be for one of our IP's to get ahold of one and have a looksee to see if'n it'll pass MD muster.
If not, he can always sell it out of state.

I keep telling people I am done. However, I would sell a rifle to get one of these..... I have 3 ARs. One can go.

Barrel diameters are listed on Ruger's website. It's .850 under the hand guard, .750 at the gas block, and .700 after the gas block.

It does. I think it's the price point that has everyone so hot and bothered.

Ruger is a top notch company. Fan boy I am not. I just like their ideas.

I completely agree. Emphasis on AMERICAN, QUALITY, and I will throw in, INNOVATION. I actually have/had several Rugers. Single Six was my first handgun, traded it for my Glock. Wish I hadn't.... Still have my 1988 10/22. And have another newer one, just because.
If I got another wheel gun, it would be a Ruger. I don't really like their semi auto pistols however, and that is where my admiration ends. But otherwise,

Nice - but is it better than a Colt or Windham Weaponry HBAR??

Depends on which fanboy you ask.

Some one on another forum has pointed out that the AR556 has a non standard gas block. Quote:
"the Ruger gas block has the pins on the top and not the bottom. If you want a different gas block, then you will need to have the services of a gunsmith, which kind of kills the great price."
