Ruger AR-556 5.56mm NATO Semi-Automatic Rifle, 16” Barrel, Black Finish – 2016 Production
This 2016 Ruger AR-556 offers a factory-built, direct-impingement AR-15 platform with Ruger’s proven reliability. A 16-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, M4-style stock, and A2-type front sight give it familiar handling, while a Ruger folding rear sight and threaded muzzle with flash hider add versatility. Light prior use and a mirror-bright bore make this rifle a strong choice for shooters who want a clean, ready-to-run AR.

The AR-556’s 16-inch barrel is cold hammer forged for long service life and consistent accuracy. The 1/2-28 threaded muzzle arrives capped with Ruger’s birdcage flash hider, ready for muzzle devices or suppressor mounts.
Ruger equips this rifle with a forged 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower, hard-coat anodized for durability. The integral brass deflector, forward assist, and dust cover provide the standard features shooters expect from a duty-ready AR platform.
Sighting is straightforward: an A2-style, F-height front post pairs with a Ruger rapid-deploy rear sight that folds flat until needed. The 13.5-inch M4-style polymer handguard keeps weight low while shielding the barrel from heat.
An adjustable six-position stock allows a 10.5-inch length of pull, letting users set a comfortable stance whether wearing body armor or shooting off a bench. The polymer A2 pistol grip offers a familiar angle and texture.
This rifle ships with two 30-round magazines, so it arrives range-ready right out of the box.
