Plus Ruger has some of the best customer service out there.
3 out of 3 that have been on my shooting bench have shown similar results. Following the Ruger manual break in and gas settings has worked for us.
3 outta thousands ain’t exactly a sample size.
Personally, I haven’t seen any issues. We’ve sold a dozen, none have come back, and no one has complained. I don’t know any of the buyers personally, so I don’t know how well they shoot, what they know, or if they’ve even fired them.
I’ve got a little bit of time on one, and that one shot fine. Accuracy was good for the cost of the gun, and I saw no reliability issues. Ammo was a handload geared toward accuracy.
I’ve been around a few more on the range, and most of them seemed to run just fine. I wasn’t paying attention to how accurate they were.
One SFAR that I observed on the range had constant issues. I didn’t know the guys, so I stayed away from their problems, just in case they were contagious. Seemed to have a combo of feeding/firing/extraction/ejection issues. For all I know they could have had crap ammo, bad mags, improperly adjusted gas block, lack of lubrication/poor maintenance, etc.
I haven’t heard enough bad reviews from folks that I actually trust to tell folks not to buy one. If it has the features you want, and it’s in your budget (they’re cheap for a name brand AR10), the SFAR is a reasonable option.
It’s a no-go for me, because it doesn’t fit the role that I typically use an AR10 for.

A dozen and a few more isn’t much more than 3. If you don’t like them I think your last sentence is all you have to say.
They fit my role for an ar 10 and I wanted to share my experience with mine.

They are quite popular. I got two left here, a lot of people picked them up for hunting. No issues reported to me, but I had watched Hop's youtube video on them where he discussed their issues. Not my cup of tea but I get the role they fit.
My confusion is with what you meant by post #13 I initially misunderstood it I think! All good!
