I’m looking at getting an ar and I saw a AR556 for 800 and was wondering if it is a reliable gun.

GuestMay 17, 2021 at 5:26 amI’ve had mine for a year and a half and it has been perfect. I bought mine new for <$500. A quick look on line shows a floating hand guard AR556 for less than $700. Ruger is also a fine company and will take care of any issues you may possibly have.
