    In all seriousness, what principle?

    You bought a rifle that for all intents and purposes is not user serviceable. If you had wanted to clean under the handguards dont you think the design of the rifle should have factored into your decision to keep it?

    IF this is the principle you are speaking of this is kind of like bitching that you cant shift your automatic car like a manual...

    You obviously haven't read the majority of this thread.

    For I think the 3rd time:
    I didn't buy or choose this rifle. I inherited it. I think it's ridiculous that it's the only AR that I'm aware of without a user removable handguard.

    It reminds me of Apple and how you can't change the batteries on their handheld devices.

    Does that clarify things for you?

    I tell you what if it bothers you that much you can give it to me ... In all seriousness though if you don't like the non serviceable aspect throw that puppy on gun broker and call it a day you could get a decent price out of it and get your self something new

    I hear ya man. I bet I could get $2k-$2500 for it on GB. Alas, with politics as they are now, I'm not getting rid of any of my guns, inherited or not. Besides, other than the non-serviceable aspects, I actually like it a lot. It is a great shooting gun.

    I did read the thread. Key word in my statement being "keep".

    I don't really care if you read it or not, but you were kinda snarky (like a lot of posts on m4c; it seems snark is quite common here), so I'll reply in kind: Just pointing out that your posts clearly indicated that you either did not understand/comprehend the what was written or you simply hadn't really read it. Either way pretty much everything you had to say had already been addressed multiple times, and part of what you said was simply wrong.

    The only thing factoring into my decision to keep it is completely unrelated to the rifle's serviceability, so your point about keeping it is moot.

    Anyway, moving on to being peeved about the Ruger's handguard whilst I peruse other more serviceable options for my next AR.

    There are a lot of snarky posts here because the membership loses its patience with people that wont listen to other members who speak out of experience.

    You OWN a Ruger SR556 that is NOT user serviceable without tools. The membership doesnt care how you came to possess this weapon,the bottom line is that until the socialist left wing assholes determine that we no longer have the freedom to buy "assault rifles", you still have the freedom to sell this weapon and acquire another one like you have discussed doing.

    You complain about a "principle" when multiple people have told you repeatedly that there is NO issue to be worried about other than your own OCD. They have spoken out of experience, much like i did. My adopted Father survived Vietnam and despite having several XM177E2's due to other problems, never had an issue with rust...

    To whine about snarky responses here when people have offered solid feedback is just....yeah...

    Have a nice day.

    None of the monolithic railed rifles like the LMT or the Colt 6940 a removable handguard.

    Re: Grr Ruger

    I can't take off my KAC URX III rail unless I buy the $125 wrench from Knights Armament. I don't see why I would need to remove it when I can easily use a can of brake clean, an air compressor and a can of clp to solve any crud buildup I might have.

    I don't see where you have any issue at all.

    First off, do NOT quote me on this, because I've not handled or even seen a Ruger piston gun up close, but I am betting you, and anyone else with a set of basic armorers tools (roll pin punches etc) could easily break down this gun in a matter of minutes. Yes, Ruger advises against it, for obvious (and imo ridiculous) reasons, but that gun is no tomahawk cruise missile, nor is any AR. Take a good look at how its put together and have at it. First however, I'd cruise all the major forums, including Rugers own forum (if they've got one??) , and find someone who has done it already. If you've got zero armorer experience, networking with others who have torn down a gp Ruger will be a huge help. I'm betting you can do this on your own tho, but like I said, I'm sure someone out there has taken their Ruger apart successfully. Nuttin but a thang...
