The Ruger Harrier rifle in 5.56 NATO and black anodized finish (brand part no. 28601) pairs a classic A2 fixed stock with a 16.1-inch barrel, giving shooters a lightweight, no-frills AR-15 built for everyday range use. Ruger cuts the barrel to a 1:8 twist and threads it 1/2×28, rating the rifle for a 30+1 capacity and shipping it with one 30-round Magpul PMAG. The rifle ships without fixed sights, running a selector-switch safety and a semi-automatic action. Among AR rifles, this Harrier configuration favors 5.56 shooters who want a lightweight, A2-stocked AR at an accessible price point.
