Description

This lot features a Ruger SR-556 Takedown semi-automatic rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO. The firearm is constructed with a two-stage, piston-driven operating system and a takedown mechanism that allows for rapid disassembly and barrel changes, including caliber conversion capabilities between 5.56 NATO and .300 Blackout. The 16.125-inch cold hammer-forged barrel features a 1:8 twist rate, is marked 5.56 NATO 1-8, and is fitted with a Ruger flash hider. The rifle is equipped with a black hardcoat anodized finish on the aluminum receivers and a keymod-style handguard with a continuous Picatinny top rail. Furniture includes a Magpul MOE SL telescoping buttstock, Magpul pistol grip, and folding iron sights. The bolt carrier group is finished in a silver-tone coating and bears the Ruger phoenix logo. Key markings on the left side of the lower receiver include the Ruger logo, RUGER, MAYODAN, NC USA, and serial number 594-04392. The right side is marked SR-556 with safety selector markings for SAFE and FIRE. The lot includes the original factory serial-matching cardboard box, a Ruger-branded soft carry case, three 30-round Magpul PMAG magazines in original packaging, a cable lock, chamber flag, and the instruction manual. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The rifle appears in excellent physical condition with a bright bore and strong rifling. The black hardcoat anodized finish is well-preserved, showing only minor finish wear at the gas block and takedown interface consistent with assembly and disassembly. The Magpul furniture is excellent with no notable scuffs or dings. The mechanical action appears to function correctly when cycled by hand; however, the firearm has not been test-fired. All included accessories and the factory case appear in near-new condition.
