I like the 4 position gas piston feature.
Its pretty much fully loaded , wish they would've entered the market 2 years ago.

Bill Ruger would not be happy. at 1900 bucks. Come on! You can build a piston driven ar for 1400 easy! maybe less. if they kept it under 1500 hundred .. worth a look. come on ruger..

This is an incredibly popular rifle that people are talking about all over the web.  There are some guys on another forum who are seeing some issues with wear in the buffer tube.  This may be worth reading if you're considering one of these rifles.

I'd like to buy one, but I'm willing to wait and see what happens and hopefully the price will come down.
