Although the first official World Series didnât take place until 1903, another championship came before it. Between 1884 and 1890, the National League and the American Association (a rival organization that went belly-up in 1891) played an exhibition series that pitted their respective champions against one another.
The SR-556 represents one of the latest gas-piston ARs introduced into the U.S. market. I do find it indicative that the ultimate decision came down to introduce a piston-driven AR rifle versus a traditional impingement design.he same pattern of design is followed with the SR-556âs big brother, the SR-762. Rugerâs SR-556 product line is comprised of four model types: Standard, Carbine, E-Model and Varmint Target. The flagship of the Ruger SR-556 lineup is the Standard model.
In the late 1990s, Smith & Wesson discontinued production of all but a few blued revolvers, thus the Model 686 and its variants are the only models currently produced. In 1998 Smith and Wesson, in an agreement with the Clinton Administration, made internal changes to their revolver line including the 586.
