HOLY CARP!!!
Ruger's new AR rifle changes the caliber to .308 and uses an AK-47 style operating system to avoid the fouling caused by the propellant.

Someone at work gets the NRA's magazine and I read an article about these DPMS AR rifles. The top one shown is the "Hunter" and comes in several calibers, including .308, .260 Remington (not so popular but amazing ballistics for long-distance shooting), and .243 Winchester. The second one is the "tactical rifle", and the third, which most looks like the familiar AR-15, boasts and excellent muzzle brake, which supposedly makes it very good in competition where you need to put multiple shots into several targets in quick succession.

My AR is made by Adams Arms. It's piston driven, not direct impingement like the issue M4. They do make kits to retrofit any AR upper.

Advantage? The chamber stays much, much cleaner and the gun will run thousands of rounds before failure.
