RugerAR556

Question ladies and gents, is there a longer barrel out there for us? Not looking for a monster 24' i'm thinking 18 or maybe 20 at most. If you've done this or put another other good stocks on your rifle, please post up a pic. Thanks, and be blessed.

 

[Huhwhat?]

I may be wrong, but it should take a standard AR barrel.

Anyone done this?

Not unless additional modifications were made.

Upper assemblies are just two pins away.
OEM upper with Milspec barrel no problem, but get a new gas block along with the longer gas tube, cause Ruger pins there gas block/front sight on the opposite side.

Which would come under "additional modifications"?

Q? about the Ruger AR-556 barrel; Being it's 16.1" does that .1" matter when replacing it with a barrel 16" long?

No, unless you live in place that has criteria different from ATFE.
