So I just got my Ruger AR 556, I am relatively new to AR's, but know a little. I have been looking for a 15" free float, and was having trouble finding any that are specifically designated for the Ruger 556. I'm wondering if any typical 15" free float will work. Same applies to the gas block. If you can provide any help or suggestions I would appreciate it.

Regards

I'd ask Ruger. Their literature says their proprietary barrel nut and Delta ring "accept most carbine-length handguards", but doesn't specify what "most" it accepts or anything about longer ones, or about what gas blocks might work.
