The 580-Series designation (serial prefix 583-) places this rifle in a later production generation with the updated receiver pattern. This example was made in the USA in 2018 and uses stainless steel for both the receiver and barrel.
Its operating system is Ruger’s Garand/M14-derived rotating bolt with a fixed short-stroke gas piston and a four-screw gas block. A front sling swivel is mounted on the gas block, with the rear swivel at the butt, providing straightforward sling attachment points.
The 16.12-inch stainless-steel barrel is threaded and fitted with a flash suppressor. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, the rifle has a 30+1 capacity and a 13.0-inch length of pull, balancing compact handling with full-capacity firepower.
Sighting is handled by a wing-protected front post and an adjustable ghost-ring rear. The rifle wears a black polymer fixed stock with molded checkering and a rubber buttpad, plus a ventilated polymer upper handguard. An NcSTAR receiver-top Picatinny rail is installed for easy mounting of optics while retaining the iron sights.
