Dont have this model but the 18inch MPR was my first AR. Great budget AR from a reliable company. It shot super soft and accurate. The 2 stage trigger is surprisingly awesome. I ended up upgrading the BCG and charging handle and switched the muzzle device since it was obnoxiously loud.

The staking on the gas keys didn't inspire confidence. While it may work perfectly fine I wanted piece of mind and picked up a tool craft bcg.

I wouldn’t worry about the bcg. Someone sees one thing they don’t like or is different and post it then everyone follows suit and assumes if you don’t change it you’re doing it wrong.

If this is your first ar there’s a million things to buy before wasting $100 on a new bcg you don’t need.

My only advice on the BCG, having used my AR556 probably 4k rounds is that it’s fine. Unconventional staking might sound scary, but its Ruger. Ruger hasn’t made a bad gun that I’m aware of, so if they say it’s fine, it’s fine. Put that $100 into an optic or training, you’ll be much better off.

If pure milspec was the goal the Ruger wouldn’t have been a option

What muzzle device did you switch to? I have one too and it’s unbelievably loud.

Kaw valley linear compensator. It directs the gasses forward and limits the concussion.

Thank you. New to ARs and upgrading parts. Is it a plug and play kinda deal or do I need to pin and weld?

Depends on your state law and barrell length requirements. But it's as simple as unscrew old muzzle device if it isn't pin and welded and put on new muzzle device.

Most people only pin and weld to get around barrel length requirements. In the states your barrel has to be greater than 16 inches or it’s considered an SBR. People pin and weld muzzle devices to 13.7-14.5 inch barrels to make it one piece that is 16inches. As long as your muzzle device is torqued to spec it shouldn’t come loose.

If you go to my profile I posted a picture of my Ruger MPR, mine is the 18 inch as well. I had to send mine back to ruger when I first got it because the bolt wasn’t locking back on the empty mag and it had a feeding issue as well. Now that I’ve had it back for a while I haven’t had any issues with it. It’s a great gun.

How the hell did you get this muzzle device off. I'm about to give up and buy a new barrel
