The Gun Point Press Release

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) is pleased to announce that the AR-556® rifle with free-float handguard is now available chambered in .300 Blackout.

This addition to the Ruger® AR-556 rifle line features a 16.10” cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:7” twist and pistol-length gas system to reliably function with both the lightest supersonic hunting rounds and heavy, subsonic rounds.

The rifle also boasts an 11” aluminum free-float handguard with Magpul® M-LOK® accessory attachment slots and a standard pistol grip for easy user customization.

The dust cover and metal magazine are marked with the caliber for easy identification of both the rifle and ammunition. The pistol-length gas system is tuned to run with a wide variety of ammunition, with or without a silencer. The 5/8”-24 muzzle threads are capped with a thread protector.
