Just in time to celebrate Independence Day, Connecticut-based Ruger has announced the first entries in their Flag Series, which come complete with patriotic finishes.
The new release, which includes offerings in the company’s otherwise standard AR-556 MSR, AR-556 pistol and Ruger PC Carbine lines, sport painted flag Cerakote and flag camo dipped finishes.

With an 18-inch 1-in-8-twist barrel, free float M-LOK handguard and MOE SL collapsible stock, the AR-556 Flag Series MSR, complete with red, white and blue Cerakote pattern, runs $949.
Featuring interchangeable magazine wells for use of common Ruger and Glock mags, the Ruger PC Flag Series Carbine has an American flag camo across its synthetic stock and aluminum free-float handguard. MSRP on the 9mm pistol caliber carbine is $779.
“We are very excited about the introduction of the Flag Series,” said Shawn Leska, Ruger’s VP of Sales. “This new lineup of firearms is our most patriotic yet and we hope our customers will feel a sense of pride owning a pistol or rifle from this American-made series.”
