    Grr Ruger

    Is the gun malfunctioning as a result of this "grime" under the hand guard?

    Not at all.

    I just don't like a dirty rifle, or one I can't disassemble enough to clean properly.

    If it's the same as the SR-556E I found diagrams for, the handguard is removable--two screws, the flash hider, and the gas block/piston assy are all that stand in your way.

    Remove the FH, remove the gas block, remove the two screws from the bottom of the rail near the receiver, and the whole thing pulls off.

    Is yours a different version without the screws?

    As far as I know the 556FB and the 556E both use rollpins, unless Ruger has changed something recently. The 556CLA apparently has screws holding the handguard on, but I haven't seen anything about removing it nor have I seen one in person. My FB has rollpins. I'd be very interested in knowing if those pins could be replaced with screws without affect the performance and reliability of the rifle.

    You would have to remove the rollpins, 2 or 3 of them, I can't remember, in order to remove the handguard from mine.

    I see now--found a close-up image of that one. Big roll pin on the bottom and the two small ones retaining the op rod at the top.

    Looks like you'd have to stock up on pins if you wanted to regularly remove it for cleaning.

    You're obsessing over nothing. Spray some brake cleaner in there and then blow it out with a compressor.

    You must re-lube if you use powder-blast as it will strip all oils.

    Any spray in oil either of you would recommend? I have had a few different kinds, but didn't really like them too much. They didnt seem to really last too long, and one basically evaporated.

    I don't get it. Why don't you just buy a set of roll pin punches and take the rail off yourself?
    As for replacing the roll pins permanently, I've never handled a Ruger AR, but the puns could potentially be replaced with properly sized solid pins, or the holes could possibly be tapped/threaded to then accept screws perhaps?? Again, this is all conjecture, as I've not handled a Ruger personally. Would have to see one up close to be sure. I'm betting an easy solution is indeed possible though.

    Beat me to it.

    Thanks to this forum, I have discovered the magic of brake cleaner. Already knew about air compressors.
