Anyone have any experience with a Ruger AC556? My brother is considering buying one from a friend and he has asked me what I thought. The details that I know is it is a factory folding stock with a 3 position selector(semi, burst and full) and a 12 inch barrel it is blued. My only experience is with a Mini 14 so I submit to any experts on this weapon. He can buy it for 5K which seems like a good price from what I can find on the web
 
pretty good price these days. Seen them going for over 6k right about now. If he wants to blow ammo, I say go for it. They wont be making anymore of them and their only going to get more expensive
 
Exactly. 5k is a good price and I will only go up in value.

One day soon, everyone will be talking about " back in the day when mp5s were ONLY 25k...."
 
If you can get a nice condition 13" folder for 7.5k and under, get it. Lowest price I can find for blue 13" folder is $8300. A stainless version typically sells for a hair over 1k more then the blued. It is not a military proven gun, but I will eventually own one either way.
 
I thought that was the case. His friend told him he bought it for 500$ back in the 80's which confirms what y'all have said about increasing value. I asked if that included the stamp and he thought it did.
 
I wanted one of these SO BAD after seeing "Romancing The Stone"...my bank account, not so much...

If your brother can afford it he should get it.
 
I wanted on since I saw them in the A-team back in the day. I am relatively sure he has already committed to buying it and by asking me if it is worth it he is actually grinding salt into a open wound because he knows I could never afford to buy something like it. Brotherly love you know!

The one i shot only liked factory mags, no aftermarket ones would function properly. It did eat any ammo you shoved in it though.
