Built around familiar mil-spec controls, the Ruger Harrier 5.56 NATO ships with a single-stage GI trigger, selector, charging handle, carbine buffer, and spring for proven function. The upper receiver includes a forward assist, dust cover, and brass deflector, while the lower receiver incorporates a tension screw to reduce play between upper and lower receivers for a tighter overall fit. A nitrided bolt and bolt carrier group with a staked gas key supports long-term durability in a 5.56 NATO AR-15 rifle designed for dependable cycling.
The free float handguard uses a slim profile for enhanced ergonomics and features Picatinny rail sections at the front and rear of the 12:00 position for optics or backup accessory placement. QD sling sockets on both sides support quick sling setup, while Magpul M-LOK attachment slots run along the 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00 positions with eight intermediate slots at the muzzle end for lights, grips, and other accessories. The 16.1" government profile barrel uses 6-groove 1:8" RH twist rifling and a nitrided finish, and the 1/2"-28 threaded muzzle is fitted with a removable A2 flash hider to accommodate alternate muzzle devices.
