Neat. Ruger giving the people what they want at a reasonable cost

 

[Greenbug]

Yawn...

Yawn...

Yep there is like a hundred gazillion ways to build ur ar-10 how you want it.

 

[po18guy]

Don't like it? Well then,

Don't buy one!

Still lamenting the dead on arrival XGI.

Proprietary parts?

At least the mags are standard and compatible. I don't know about the rest of it.

What exactly is the benefit over the common AR-10?

Ruger warranty?!???

 

[nehalemguy]

Yawn...

Yeah, I'll second that yawn. Just what the shooting world asked for.....another AR-10 look alike.

What exactly is the benefit over the common AR-10?

Lighter and shorter. The SFAR pattern is similar (and possibly the same as) to the DPMS G2 pattern. Like the G2 the SFAR should be 85% parts compatible with an AR15.

Resurrection of the XGI would probably get more interest, especially if they could come in under the price point of a Springfield Armory rifle.

Personally I would much rather someone bring a new version of the stoner/armalite AR-16 to the market. Original short stroke gas piston gun was only 6.6 pounds (for 18.3" barrel carbine model) and had folding stock (operates with stock folded too). Smaller, super clean and reliable operating system, same weight (or less with modern day materials possibly).

MidwayUSA bought Stoner, so all the Stoner gear out there is made for them (Bear Creek Arsenal or so I have heard). Don't know if they have rights to the the AR-16 or any other designs.

There was a reason it didn't fly, it sucked.

No doubt this one will generate a ton of "ho hums" and "I don't like it because..................", and Ruger will laugh all the way to the bank. Since they kicked the family out of there the Co keeps coming out with one win after another.

- common SR25 mags?
- about a grand?
- semi-auto?
- 7.62?
- 16" barrel?

I'll take one. Not sure what I'll do with it. Probably won't replace my .308 hunting rifle, but I'll take one.

 

[Certaindeaf]

6.8 lbs. Sweet.

I hear ya.

If other manufacturers start patterning parts based upon Ruger's then prices should come down. I would welcome it. Imagine taking an elk using a 308, change the upper to a 243 or 6.5 creedmore for deer. I wonder if an AR upper would also fit. Then the range of calibers would span from 223 to 308 on a single rifle not to mention pistol calibers.

Ugh, are you kidding me? I always figured "AR-Stoner" was some cheap knock off "uncle Larry" was riding the coat tails of. I was so sure of it I didn't even bother looking into it.
Anyway if you want a piston AR buy a 416,516, caracal insert # here: (816¿) they are decent otherwise the Brownells 180 if you need a folder. I always liked the looks of the AC556 personally. Tomato/ tomâto. IMO.
