    Only if they are still producing them at that time. Ruger does not carry parts for their Security or Speed Six.

    New Ruger Rifle

    http://http://www.ruger-firearms.com/

    Maybe I'm behind the 8ball on this but I just went on to Ruger's site and saw it. Looks like they are jumping into the mix.

    I saw and handled one at the NRA Convention in Pheonix a couple weeks ago. It looked very nice....

    If they ask a reasonable price for the rifle, they could put a hurtin on many of the big piston guys.

    Nice to see them trying. I am surprised to see this effort from them. I wonder if it will come with 10 round magazines?

    I hope for the best for them and I look forward to seeing how it works out.

    Ruger says they're including three PMAG's with the gun.

    Ruger SR-556 Piston Driven AR styled rifle.

    Have you all talked about this, it is news to me! Looks like a nice rifle, and I like Ruger, and the thought of a piston driven as #6 in my line of AR's sounds pretty cool..... suggested retail is $1995 for it. If you could actually get out the door for about $1300-$1500 it would be a fine purchase.

    Anyways, I wanted to share it with you all.

    http://www.ruger.com/SR556/

    The Ruger SR-556 offers Ruger’s legendary rugged reliability while redefining the AR platform with piston driven performance. SR-556 rifles come feature-packed and pre-accessorized, and include the following:

    ** Chrome-plated, two-stage piston driven operating system provides improved reliability over gas driven rifles

    ** 4-position, chrome-plated gas regulator allows operator to tune rifle to specific ammunition or rifle conditions

    ** Chambered in the popular 5.56mm NATO/.223 Rem., the SR-556 comes with 3 MAGPUL PMAG 30-round magazines

    ** Chrome-plated bolt, bolt carrier and extractor aid in performance and durability

    ** Cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined Mil-Spec 41V45 barrel provides long-lasting accuracy

    ** Troy Industries Folding BattleSights are adjustable and co-witness with Mil-Spec optics so they can be easily removed to make room for high-power scopes

    ** Troy Industries Quad Rail Handguard provides rigid mount for piston driven transfer rod

    ** Troy Industries Rail Covers provide comfortable hold for unused Picatinny rails

    ** 6-Position Telescoping M4-Style Buttstock is collapsible and allows the length of pull to be adjusted from 10.25” to 13.50”

    ** Hogue® Monogrip® Pistol Grip with finger grooves provides comfort when carrying and shooting

    ** Soft-sided carry case


    I save money using AMSOIL full synthetic lubricants. Do you?

    This weapon has major issues so I would avoid it. Remember that virtually every gun Ruger has put out has been recalled.

    Remember that Ruger knows about as much about how to build an AR as my Mother does.

    The weapon is also going to be VERY heavy.
