The AR-556 is crafted from 7075-T6 hard-coat anodized aluminum forgings, featuring a shot-peened and proof-tested 9310 steel bolt, and an 8620 steel bolt carrier.

A hallmark of the AR-556 is its modularity. The heat-resistant glass-filled nylon handguard can be easily serviced by one person, and the design accepts most standard carbine-length handguards. The carbine-length gas block enhances balance and handling, and the multiple attachment points, including a QD socket and bayonet lug, allow for a wide range of sling and accessory options. The serrations on the angled face of the gas block minimize glare, ensuring clarity and precision in various environments.
The rifle's FDE Magpul pistol grip, forend, and adjustable stock enhance ergonomics and comfort, while the front A2 sight with adjustable post and the rear polymer Ruger flip-up sight provide reliable aiming solutions.
