    Just a heads up on Ruger AR556 stripped AR lowers for sale,,

    Bought 2 and they both where junk. Take down pin holes not in spec(off center and drilled off angle) and too much metal at rear under charging handle track and would not mate properly with any of my uppers. Know of another person that had the same issues. Just a heads up.

    Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill !!

    Did you contact Ruger about that issue? What are they doing about it? Are you returning them?
    I am anxious to find out what they are doing about it.
    Thanks for the heads up...

    Not really surprised. My ruger AR556 is kind of a pain to the upper separated from the lower.

    I have two and have no such issues. Just FWIW.

    I have an AR556 and it was tight from factory, but was told it's going to be as it was machined for tight tolerances. NO issues so far.....no exact round count but I know I have had a couple can's thought it now (500rd bulk cans).
