Ergonomics:* * * * *
It handles like an M4. The pistol grip is shaped perfectly, for me anyway. The trigger broke cleanly.
Reliability: * * * * *
No feeding or ejection problems of any kind.
Value: * * * * *
An entry-level AR carbine should be reasonably priced. This one is.
Sights: * * * *
The rear sight is plastic I drill it out to match a large aperture.
Barrel: * * * * 1/2
PLUS for its 1:8 Twist; MINUS for not being chrome-lined. With 5.56 ammo all being non-corrosive, a chrome-lined barrel is probably not really necessary.
Extras: * * * * *
The Ruger-supplied front sight tool.
