Ruger introduces Takedown SR-556

SWO Daddy · Jul 2, 2015

This looks pretty neat to me (though the MSRP seems a bit high) - I ass-u-me it would be MD legal. They have 300BLK kits for it too.

Its an extended rail upper receiver, IIRC. Makes the whole upper pricier...

Why?

This!

Is the idea you can easily switch out barrels from 556 to 300 blackout on the same upper?

jimbobborg · Jul 2, 2015

With the barrel removed, it makes the package smaller, so it's easier to keep the whole rifle in a backpack. As long as it keeps zero, I'd be fine with this.

Based on what I'm seeing in that pic, you're saving about 5 inches over removing the upper from the lower.

Did I miss something?
:shrug:

why not just take the upper off the lower to fit in the backpack?

Exactly what I thought.

Because then the MSRP wouldn't be $2049.00 :cool:

And they kept it a piston design.

Can't fix stupid.

If they wanted a cool setup they should have used a folder hinge, a Ranier Q.D. Rail, and a D.I. Gas System with a pinned SLR click adjustable gas block at the mid length. For a nice touch a fixed FSB to make it a Midipator.

Meh. Now a takedown Mini-14, that would be some thing!!

I'm partial to the A-Team folder, which at least one MDS member sometimes shares pics of.

Looks like a lightweight and mid weight barrel to me. Don't think we can get it anyway.

JWLaRue · Jul 2, 2015

Not to hijack this thread....but I have a factory folder for the Mini-14 (blued) that I'm looking to sell.....

Yup and yup!

Boy, tough crowd!

Capt Skup · Jul 2, 2015

I like a piston gun, I like the DI guns, too. I like Ruger guns, they are real nice.

Vile Shadow · Jul 2, 2015

Ruger's answer to the Sig 556xi, perhaps?

Sirex · Jul 2, 2015

Competing with the Keltec SU16s?? j/k

All my ARs are "take-down"
