Anyone know any down sides to buying besides the price tag?

Ruger has not had the best of luck with product launches lately, I would wait for the recall and bugs to be worked out.

I'd say the new piston system they've designed might be a downside considering its brand new tech. This is also a positive though because if it can deliver consistently with rugged durability, this is going to really change things in the AR world IMO

You have to remember that I'm still in the process of getting my FID.

 

By the time my FID is ready I'm sure Ruger will be on the GEN II. lol

When are these going to be available, or are they on the market already?

They're available. Seen them for around 1500~

Oh yeah, where at? The MRSP is $1995 and the lowest I seen it was $1800

Gunbroker.com has mostly all of them listed around 1500. The catch is that you'll have to find an FFL that's willing to accept a non-compliant rifle, and then send it out again to be neutered... which will cost you a bit more at the end.

So is the SR 556 on the NJ ban list?

No, the "ban list" was created 18 years before the SR-556 existed.

So whats non-compliant about it and what needs to be done for an FFL dealer to bring it in for me?

Pin the stock or replace it with a fixed stock and permanently attach a muzzle brake.

Oh great. I wonder if this could be done before it is bought?

You could always just find a dealer here who will do it for you. Message PK90 he might be able to help you.

Thanks

Another problem is the 30 round mag.

 

15 is the limit in jerzy...

 

Is there a way of permanently plugging the stock 30 round mag so it will only except 15 rounds?
