From a NC fan: The factory is in Mayodan, NC just 45 minutes north of Greensboro in the Piedmont, south of the VA line. It is a rural area of rolling hills at the site of an old textile mill and Ruger opened the building in 2013. The reason you don't see the AR 556 in stores, is because they are sold so fast. The factory is running production lines almost around the clock and cannot keep up with the orders.

I own the AR556, hands down the best value for the money and I have not had a single issue with mine.

I've had my Ruger a few years now and absolutely love it. Great reviews online as well.. just a great all around rifle.

I bought a Ruger AR556 back in October last year (2016). Great rifle. I put almost a 1000 rounds through it with no malfunctions. This is right out of the box. I'm shooting tighter groups just with the iron sights at 200 yards. I will suggest changing out the trigger. I'm used to a mil spec trigger but this one is a little heavy. Ruger now makes the Elite 452 AR Trigger system. Its a 4.5 lb two stage trigger that sells around $114 (Cheaper than Dirt). In fact I just shot it today at the range using 75 grain .556x45 Creedmore ammunition. My groupings at 200 yards were pretty good considering I was shooting in a 25 mph crosswind. Also, something else I might change on the gun is a little thinner front post sight. But all in all the rifle shoots really well. It is a great gun to shoot, a lot of fun. I walked out of the store with it paying $650 with tax. Its a good home defense gun, and with some work, it could be a good competition rifle. I would recommend this rifle to any shooter, whether you are just starting out or your're a seasoned shooter.

I modified mine some. I've replaced the lightee hand guard with a heavier one so I can add a light or a bi-pod, which I did for bench or prone shooting at the range. I also replaced the 8.5 lb trigger with a 3.5 two stage trigger. Much better for shooting long range (600 yards+). And then added a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6X24 ARBDC scope as well as a detatchable Burris Scope Mount. Makes shots up to 600 yards so much easier. Set up to fire 75 grain .223 or 5.56mm. Never had a jam. But if you do purchase one, don't ever use steel casings in an AR. They tend to jam with steel. I've seen it happen countless times for others on the range. I've got about a little over $1400 into it. Love the rifle. Ruger did a great job!!

@davidchalifoux504

@J V That is your opinion and you're certainly intitled to it. But my Ruger shoots smoother than when I pulled out of the box. The rifle out of the box was $650. Believe me, when you work around a lot of professional shooters like I did when I worked for the CMP, $1400 into a Ruger AR is nothing. The Vortex scope and Burris mount alone was $550. I could've purchased it a little cheaper but everyone was sold out of that model at the time except the BassPro Shop. If I left it stock and just changed the trigger out, I would've only spent $145 extra. But when you shooting at $10,000 fiber optic targets at 600 yards in windy conditions, you want something that shoots smooth and accurate. If I wanted something to plink on or for home use, I wouldn't have put anything into it. Makes sense?

This is the first AR15 I bought. I got it because of this review. Amazing firearm.

I really appreciate and wholeheartedly trust your recommendations on these firearms. I enjoy watching you and hearing what you tell us. Thanks so much!!!

I was looking at purchasing this as a first AR, and you cleared a lot of my questions I had about it, thanks for the video!

One of the reasons I like your videos is the fact that you enjoy every single shot. I love it when you start laughing after every hit. Keep it up!

After years of drooling watching this video I can finally say that I am proud to have finally picked one up! My first stoner-style rifle and a perfect compliment to my only other gun a sig pro 9mm. Think I'll name them Irene & Mathilda.

Thank you John for all these videos. I have learned a lot from you over the years. You being a former teacher shows when you make these videos. I hope you have a long and amazing life.

Thanks for your review hickok45 I've had someone recommend this rifle and now I feel even better about it.

Got mine at Buds and love it ! The dust cover ,forward assist and the threaded forend nut made all the difference !

Got one of these last November, it's my first AR and I absolutely love it! You're right on about the trigger, ended up needing to do some work on it to lighten it up and smooth out the pull. Hardly anything else needed to be done to the rifle beyond that, and I now use it for competition. I've yet to have any sort of malfunction with it and the "accuracy" is dead on. My very first match we had to shoot 18 steel 10" plates at 200 meters and it never let me down.

Just bought an AR556, my very first firearm. This helps in getting to know my gun better.

Nice review !! Had mine now for several months, feed it with all diff brands of ammo with 0 failures. Really lovin it so much that if I can get another for same price, I'm gonna be all over it !! Keep on keepin on with the great videos/reviews !!

I’m 1 1/2 years into owning the ruger 5.56 I also own a few palmetto state rifles as well. I am very pleased with the ruger, as I am with the palmetto rifles. The ruger has run flawlessly for me so far. The BGC seems of nice quality it’s 9320 instead of c158 but either material is fine. The overall quality fit and finish of the bgc is very nice, chrome lined carrier and key, good staking on the key, no signs of premature wear on locking lugs, the trigger was pretty stiff at first as mentioned but I have noticed that it has smoothed out a lot after shooting a while. I’ve not had any malfunctions of any sort yet. I’ve never used steel cased ammo tho. I have used quite a few varieties of brass cased 5.56 and .223 and I feed it from either magpul p msgs or the palmetto branded D&H Usgi aluminum mags with magpul followers and again I’ve had zero malfunctions. Roughly 2500 rnds thru it so far and while I realize that’s not a very high round count I feel it’s well beyond the break in period and it’s plenty safe to form an opinion on the rifle. I don’t abuse the rifle but I do shoot it hard at times and heat it up a bit, I’ve kept it lubed and it just runs. I purposely not been obsessive about cleaning it. I’ll be a thorough cleaning after 800-1000 rnds and periodic wipe and down and re oil of the BGC in between the thorough cleanings. I did clean bore after every 5 rounds during the initial break in until I reached 25 rounds. (No idea if this really makes a difference) main reason I do it is to stop any copper build up around any burrs at the gas port until they have been smoothed out. With a cheap scope the rifle easily shorts 1 inch or under at 50 and right around 1 1/2 at 100 and when I say cheap scope I mean it. I am certain accuracy would be even better with a better scope. Quite happy with my purchase I bought mine with magpul furniture and it was right at 650 at the shop I got it from 1 1/2 years ago. For anyone in the fence about it I don’t think you could go wrong with the ruger or the m&p sport and sport ll

``It's cool having a lot of these major gun companies setting up in the south'' (14:00) Yes - it is very cool! I'm glad some of these companies are, in a way, rewarding gun-friendly states by establishing operations there. It makes sense to provide jobs and tax revenue to the people who appreciate your products.

I got one a couple months ago, and I am quite pleased. No jams after roughly 400+ rounds, 100 or so of which were TulAmmo. For the price you do lose a few things. No chrome in the barrel, no nitride, no melonite, rough trigger, and bad furniture. But it is still a well made reliable accurate(as far as carbine length ARs go) rifle. I was a little worried that for the price it might be a jammer, but I was wrong. I wouldn't hesitate at all to buy another, and I highly recommend this rifle.

My buddies own a few and they are invaluable for coyote hunting and a lot of fun to practice our shooting with on get togethers. After trying all of there ARs the Ruger was the only 1 that stood out to me, it feels solid, no shake to it, its simple, easy to clean and plenty of additional options. Since I bought mine I've pulled 2 deer from the woods with it, retiring my old 30-30 almost completely. Its accurate, its light but sturdy, the ammos cheap.....Man its jus all you need.

What im about to say is in no way directed at you . I'm so done with these other channels when they review a AR rifle and starting out with this is a good beginner rifle .I bought a Ruger AR 556 wirh a free float hand gaurd and I what I'm getting at is I paid $950.00 for it and these people that spend 3000 + for a AR all I have to say is my AR 556 unmodified will fire a projectile at supersonic speeds and be dead on the target consistently every time without any malfunctions . So why call my rifle entry level or beginner when it delivers just like a $3000 rifle . Once again thank you for all the great reviews. Good Bless

Just got mine a few days ago. She still in the box. Haven't shot it yet. People have to realize this Ruger AR is msrp 749.99 But some gun shops due to large order or what not "especially Davidsons supplier" had a screaming good deal to dealers and brick/mortar stores making this a awesome deal to be had from 585-649 in most places. "paid 629 plus tax on mine"Ok so it not stamped Daniel Defense or Stagg, but for the average joe like myself taking the wife out to the gun range and shooting many firearms we own, this just completes my variety in the ar department. like Hickock45 stated for what you have on this firearm parts wise that he pointed out, its a fine and dandy piece.Not to mention rugers customer service and warrantys on this piece is above most others if not in the top 10 best. Make no mistake about it, gun sows will be marking up high numbers on this. Get yours now!!!

A few years back, I wanted the new Ruger 480 for 1st big handgun. Someone sugested I start out with 44 mag...so I bought a stainless steel Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter in .44 Rem Mag. That was some good advice.

I love your videos. They have helped me make some good decisions. And this Ruger AR 556 is definitley a good one! I spent $599 for it on sale, then added an aluminum 4 sided front grip with picatinnys ($20), a verticle grip($20) which can be folded front and back in multiple positions, and added a Tru-Glo dual color sight (red/green)($50)and had it mounted to co-witness. I've been firing .223 and 5.56 in it. Find the .223 a tad more accurate.

I love this guys and the fun he has shooting different guns lol I have the Ruger 556 I love it

It's 2022 and the pricing like everything else is up. I just picked up one for $800.

I bought a P320, SW 686+ 3 inch after watching your videos over and over again. After much consideration I'm going for my first AR, the Ruger in this video. Thanks for your instructive video "hickok45". PS: I'd love to see your opinion on the Fabarm Shotguns, especially the 11 inch, "Pistola".

Sturm Ruger makes some very fine quality firearms. Their pistols and their revolvers are top performers. So are their rifles and shotguns. The Ruger AR556 is an excellent buy for the quality and features that are included on this carbine. It's pretty accurate and is a lot of fun to shoot with.

I have the m&p sport 2, which has the forward assist and dust cover. The trigger on the sport 2 is perfect. Over 2000 rounds down mine, and never had an issue. Regular cleaning is key.

those Cicadas are sangin! !!

I picked up one of these a couple weeks ago. Fired 150 rounds out of it right out of the box, rather dry. No malfunctions. Great buy for the price.

Headed to my local gun store tomorrow to finish my lay-away on one of these. First AR, cannot wait.

Bought one of these on a Black Friday sale on an impulse. Saw this video after the fact and as soon as Hickock said "i've been enjoying it" i was no longer unsure about the decision

I just tested my AR556 at the range for the first time. It was freaking awesome! Very accurate and fun to shoot. I noticed some complaints on the trigger. I thought it was fine for me but I'm not a competitive shooter. It wasn't so much the pull but the reset I thought was clunky. It is a kickass rifle for the price. Highly recommend. It is my first AR.

I love watching your videos sir simply because you have the exact opinions if my father and same jokes it even seems. Something I can really relate too and gave a good time watching while learning as well. Thank you so very much and may God bless you and your family sir.

I've watched this vid many times because I like ARs so much. I don't have a piston operated AR...yet. When you mentioned barrel twist and who may not notice a difference, my experience was with a 1/7 twist barrel 55 gr. ammo would give me a 2 to 3" inch group at 100 yards. A 69 gr. round performed much differently. I did a three shot group at 11/16". Someone I know did a 1.25" group with 10 shots with an identical rifle. At 500 yards this would make a great difference as I am certain you know. There is NOTHING I could tell you about concerning firearms, it is just that as "inexperienced" as my comparable experience and knowledge would you compared to yours research and trial of different weight bullets can make a world of difference. What if I chose to shoot turkeys? There would be many happy turkeys upon the end of my hunt. LOL.

I just got my AR15 S&W with 20"barrel 3 months ago I love it!!!

" I painted the front sight, forgive me." You're forgiven hickok. love the video love the rifle. keep em coming

Got one about a week ago. Normal AR-556 not the mpr version. Got it for 650 plus tax at Dunham’s ($150 off coupon I had). The best if not one of the best rifles I’ve shot with no gear added that ready straight out of the box. Almost 0 recoil compared to some other rifles I’ve used as well. Haven’t had a single feed issue over the last few hundred rounds. Gonna be trying more soon. Very accurate, light and dependable right out of the box!

@@carter2671 only issue I’ve had since then is that the front sight came loose and was flinging around. The taper pins that keep it in place went down range never to be found again. So if you buy one, also buy new taper pins for the eventuality that it happens

where did you buy yours?

A carbine with a classic design; super intuitive, hardly jams, and just looks sexy as hell.

I was already inclined to get the Ruger, now with this awesome guy's opinion, no doubt.

Picked up an AR-556 flat top and slapped on a spitfire 3x prism sight, and found it to be a great combination. Light, fast and accurate, and worth every dime spent, and still managed to save more then a few dimes in the bargain.

I've had mine since it came out. I love it. It's worth the purchase. Way better than the Smith & Wesson.

Its a good rifle. Enjoy it

I love my AR556. Bought it three years ago after watching this review

I love your channel, and especially good marksmanship combined with humor and a great attitude. One thing that I would add regarding the AR-15 is in regard to sight picture. Recruits are trained (most common statement on the range) to touch their nose to the charging handle. That method is similar to a kisser button on a bow and increases consistency and therefore accuracy. Just a thought.

Great video, have been enjoying your videos! Would you review the M&P 15 Sport 2 and compare it with the Ruger AR556?

For $479 you'd be crazy not to.

Love mine... did a BCG and trigger 'upgrade' and now she's even sweeter. Started with the Vortex Strikefire2 and now have a Monstrom 1-4 x 20 on it plus newly added bipod...

I bought this AR-15 by Ruger and it's worked flawless so far. 200 rounds with no jams and accurate out the box.

Do you like this Ruger better than the S&W MP15? Or how about the Sig AR-15 or the Colt AR-15?

Just finished watching your review of the S&W AR-15 Sport II and I'm thinkin' you couldn't go wrong with either the Ruger AR-!5 556 or the S&W Sport.

Exactly I'm going to try to own both

I just bought one here in Ontario and I was waiting a while, I didn't think they would ever come into the stores I was on email notification for. I finally got an email from one of them and I call them and ordered it right away. They got 10 in and when I go and pick it up I think they will have none. I can't wait to get it, should be a few more days until all the Government papers are complete. I wish I had a step up like you but we can only shoot those in a range. Thanks for the video.

i love how he doesn't need any time to aim, just point and shoot at it
