Detailed Review
The Ruger AR-556 8515 is a semi-automatic rifle with an overall length of 32.25 inches to 35.5 inches, depending on the position of the adjustable stock. The barrel length is 16.1 inches, and the twist rate is 1:8 inches. The gun weighs 6.5 pounds without the magazine, and it has a 30-round Magpul PMAG.
The receiver and the handguard are made of aluminum, which makes the gun lightweight and durable. The handguard has a Picatinny rail on top and M-LOK slots on the sides and bottom, which allows the user to attach various accessories, such as lights, lasers, and grips.
The upper receiver is flat-top, which means that it doesn't have a carry handle or iron sights. Instead, the user can mount any optic they prefer, such as a red dot sight, a holographic sight, or a scope. The ejection port is located on the right side of the upper receiver, and the bolt catch is on the left side.
The lower receiver is made of polymer, which makes it lightweight and comfortable to hold. The trigger guard is oversized, which allows the user to shoot with gloves on. The safety selector is located on the left side of the lower receiver, and it has three positions: safe, fire, and a third position that prevents the bolt from locking back after the last shot. The magazine release button is also on the left side, and it's easy to reach with the trigger finger.
The trigger is a single-stage, which means that it doesn't have a noticeable reset. The pull weight is about 6 pounds, which is standard for most AR-15 rifles. The pistol grip is made of polymer, and it has a rough texture that provides a good grip even with sweaty or oily hands.
The gas system is carbine-length, which means that the gas block is located under the handguard, and the gas tube is 7 inches long. The gas key on the bolt carrier group is properly staked, which prevents it from coming loose during firing.
The barrel is cold hammer-forged, which means that it's more accurate and durable than a button-rifled or a cut-rifled barrel. The muzzle is threaded 1/2"-28, which allows the user to attach a suppressor or a muzzle brake. The flash hider that comes with the gun is a birdcage style, which reduces the flash signature but doesn't reduce the recoil or the noise.
The gun comes with a manual, a lock, and a cardboard box. The warranty is limited, but the customer service is excellent. The gun is made in the USA, and it's a reliable and affordable option for target shooting, hunting, and self-defense.
