The ruger is a joke... they don't like civilians having them and the support is poor. The design sup[posidly doesn't hold up great with the FA...
I don't know where you got that information. The factory support for the AC556 is GREAT. It is the only civilian transferable MG you can buy that can be sent back to the factory for a complete rebuild. There is absolutely NO factory support for any other MG's out there. It is specialists only if your very pricey transferable needs a tune up. It is around $300 to have the gun completely redone by Ruger. A bargain for sure. They even have a stash of pre 86 recievers that they use to rebuild the occasional destroyed firearm.
As far as the AC556 not holding up under full auto, they just run, and run, and run. Just like a Mini. The AC is a very underappreciated rifle caliber MG. It and the FNC are the bargains if you want to get into a full auto that is chambered in a rifle caliber.
