MSRP: $899.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ruger&#8217;s new AR-556 Multi-Purpose Rifle (MPR) has been made to be a standout in a marketplace brimming with black rifles.\u00a0 From the Magpul furniture to the Ruger Elite two-stage trigger to the rifle-length gas system, this modern sporting rifle is designed to give the user everything and the kitchen sink from day one.\u00a0 No customization required.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very excited to add this model to our modern sporting rifle lineup,\u201d said Ruger President and CEO Chris Killoy in a press release. \u201cOur talented team of engineers worked carefully to develop the ideal custom package for the AR-556 platform that does it all, right out of the box. From plinking to competition shooting, the MPR is the perfect rifle for just about anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Priced reasonably at $899, it&#8217;s sure to garner looks from those looking to dip their toe into the AR pool.\u00a0 Remember, street prices will be lower than $900.\u00a0 Full details are listed below, along with a short video.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lower receiver is fitted with Magpul\u00ae MOE\u00ae grip and MOE SL\u2122 collapsible buttstock on the Mil-Spec buffer tube.<\/li>\n<li>Handguard is free-floating for accuracy and the slim, 15&#8243; length provides enhanced ergonomics and support.<\/li>\n<li>Made from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum forging, the flattop upper receiver includes a forward assist, dust cover and brass deflector, and is Type III hard coat anodized for maximum durability.<\/li>\n<li>Bolt is machined from 9310 alloy steel and is shot peened and pressure (proof) tested to ensure strength, structural integrity and durability.<\/li>\n<li>The Ruger\u00ae Elite 452\u2122 AR-Trigger is a two-stage trigger that offers a smooth, crisp, 4.5 pound trigger pull. It features a full-strength hammer spring for consistent primer ignition and a lightweight hammer that enables a 30% faster lock time over standard MSR triggers.<\/li>\n<li>Rifle-length gas system provides smoother operation and reduces felt recoil.<br \/>\nMagpul\u00ae M-LOK\u00ae accessory attachment slots along the 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 positions with additional slots on the angled faces near the muzzle.<\/li>\n<li>Cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel with ultra-precise rifling provides exceptional accuracy, longevity and easy cleaning. The 1:8&#8243; twist rate stabilizes bullets from 35 to 77 grains, and the 5.56 NATO chamber allows the use of both 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem. Ammunition. M4 feed ramps provide improved operational reliability, and the matte black nitrided finish provides corrosion resistance.<\/li>\n<li>Chrome-plated bolt carrier inside diameter and chrome-plated gas key inside diameter provide exceptional resistance to hot gases. The gas key is staked so that it will not loosen after extensive firing. A matte black oxide finish on the exterior of the bolt carrier provides corrosion resistance.<\/li>\n<li>Ruger\u00ae muzzle brake is a radial port design that significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle movement. The 1\/2&#8243;-28 threaded barrel allows for standard muzzle accessories to be installed.<\/li>\n<li>Also includes: One, 30-round Magpul\u00ae PMAG\u00ae.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruger-firearms.com\/products\/ar556MPR\/specSheets\/8514.html\" campaign=\"RugerMPR\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Ruger website<\/a>.
