    When did they start putting full auto carriers in them? Everything that I've read indicated that they weren't ever going to do that.

    Just a geuss, but he put a SR556 upper on a legal full auto lower.

    Just a guess, but he put a SR556 upper on a legal full auto lower.
    That's my assumption aswell.

    First you need a full auto bolt carrier before it will work on an M-16 lower. Everything that I have seen and read indicates that Ruger is machining their carriers to be semi-auto only.
    I'm just wondering if they've changed that or if he's done something to his carrier.

    Actually Ruger was kind enough to loan me a full-auto bolt carrier for some heat testing. I do have access to a select-fire lower.

    Unfortunately Ruger has no plan of using F/A carriers in the run-of-the-mill SR556 series.
