The Ruger AR-556 is chambered in the 5.56mm NATO caliber, a standard round used by military forces worldwide, known for its effectiveness in short to medium-range combat.

The inside diameter of the carrier and gas key are chrome plated, and the key is staked for longevity. This model also features a single-stage trigger, designed for durable and reliable fire control. Even in cold weather conditions, the enlarged trigger guard allows for gloved shooting.
Additional features include a Type III Hard Coat Anodized finish that gives the AR-556 an appealing aesthetic while improving its resistance to wear and corrosion. The stock and grips are made from glass-filled nylon, and it comes with an M4 style synthetic adjustable stock. The front A2 style sight with adjustable post and rear polymer Ruger flip-up sight enhance the shooting experience. The barrel is threaded and includes a muzzle brake/flash hider, with a 1:8 twist.
