Ya know, that looks like an AR-10 bolt carrier.

So maybe it’s not a M14, but I bet it’s still in .308.

I have a dream that Ruger will co-oped the 1911 Magazine for their .45s…

Then come out with a PC45. (ala the camp carbine.)

Tam, it would be highly revolutionary if someone made a piston AR that ran better than a DI AR!

I would not put money on Ruger being that someone, however.

Wow, a piston AR. How revolutionary. Only not.

I’ve owned 3 Ruger arms in my life, my very first .357 was a Security Six, a great pistol, had NO trouble with it at all…

I had 2 Mini-14’s years back, a stainless and a blue, both were pretty good shooters, but I haven’t shot a Ruger in years.

Not being a fan of the AR, in ANY configuration, well, I guess I’ll have to rely on you guys for the review here…

A oprod system isn’t new for the AR platform. There are several available.

I’ve been generally unimpressed with my Ruger firearms. I don’t think I’d buy their version of an AR-15.

That’s the charging mechanism for a semi-auto light saber.

A new AR design would be awesome. I am sad that I can’t go to the convention this year.

Yeah… consider me unexcited. Given that Ruger’s past “redesigns” amounted to nothing more than new materials on old designs, and given how Ruger is having to deal with some pretty substantial recalls… *shrug* Late to the party, and a questionable past history. W00t?

MiniXGI (.308) prototype to be auctioned. Are they hinting at a .308 semi-auto?

No gas key. No gas vents. No forward-assist teeth.

Now, I’m no AR-genius – I just finished putting together my first one, truth be told – but isn’t a piston/op-rod AR essentially … an AK? Or a Mini-14? I understand the bolt lock-up is different, but a rotating-bolt, gas-piston operated rifle … first thing coming to mind is “John C. Garand” (PBUH)…
