American Rifleman Television - Ruger AC556
The Ruger AC556, a select-fire variant of the Mini-14, was developed in parallel with the semi-automatic version. It featured traditional aesthetics inspired by the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine, offering semi-auto, 3-shot burst, and full-auto modes. While it found success with law enforcement and foreign militaries, it arrived too late to compete with the AR-15 for major military contracts.
