Ruger Updates the SR-556 Takedown

Ruger quietly updated the SR-556 Takedown rifle during Christmas week. The main, and perhaps only, change to the gun was the replacement of the heavy quad-rail handguard with a lighter KeyMod type. The quad-rail equipped rifleÂ tipped the scalesÂ at 7.6 pounds, while the new one shaves off a a full half-pound to drop the rifle’s weight toÂ only 7.1.

The front end felt a bitÂ heavy on the original gun, so I am glad that Ruger decided to upgrade the gun with a KeyMod handguard. Dropping Â½ pound will definitely be an improvement.
