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.
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.

** 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

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.
