    Not so different from a standard front sight base sling mount.

    This thing belongs in a trash can.

    A better gas seal is achieve by pinning the gas block on the top rather than bottom? I don't think so.

    What keeps that threaded delta ring from coming unscrewed over time?

    A unshrouded firing pin carrier. Really?

    “The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

    Is Ruger forcing you to buy it or something? It may not work for you, but maybe it'll get someone into the AR market, and I always see that as a good thing. It would be nice if it had a C158 bolt, but then you raise the price.

    For the price, I really don't see this as a bad buy for a first timer.

    Other companies, most notably JP, are using 9310 as a bolt material. Bolts made from 9310 have been working fine, no?

    I can't speak from experience because I don't have anything but C158 bolts just because that's the mil spec. I don't think I'd have a problem owning the ruger, but I for sure wouldn't exchange my BCM bolt for it.

    I'm not bashing rugers stuff, I really think they are targeting a different market. I'm sure it'll work great for most, heck, I even kind of want one just to put in the safe for a rainy day.

    Speaking of bolts; Ruger says they took three rifles and submitted each to a 20,000 round durability test. One rifle made it through. The other two both suffered broken bolts at something like 19,000 rounds.

    I assume barrels, etc were well worn on these guns but I don't think we'll have any real worries with bolt longevity.

    Looks like it will compete with it's own Mini-14.

    Needs a treated barrel IMO. Dust Cover is nice to have, the FA is kind of a wash, seems to solve about as many problems as it causes. Lack of a FA is not a deal breaker in my book.
    My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.
