Ruger tips from The Ruger Man:

 The most common cause of breakage with the AC556 is incorrect assembly after taking out the trigger group.  The selector must be in the upright or semi-auto position when inserting the trigger group.  If in the wrong position, you will bend a stamped part and the gun will have to be returned to Ruger for repair. 

Read your manual.  If you need one, Ruger will provide one free.  Call customer service at 603-863-3300. 

If your gun does not always fire three rounds when in three-shot-burst mode, you may be releasing the trigger before all three rounds are fired.  This is ok.  If you only fire two rounds, the next burst will fire one.  The following burst will do three again. 

If you need mags, use Ruger  or PMI mags.  Other aftermarket mags are not reliable in full-auto mode.  USA mags are the worst.
