Thanks for your interest in this rifle. I'm afraid AR's are gonna' get awful scarce in the not to distant future. Like it or not.

Not only scarce, but maybe not be able to buy one at all or sale the one you have.

I have a spare stripped lower and stripped upper in my safe, and 3 LPKs, but I’m going to buy 2 more receiver sets in the next couple of days, just to have them on hand before prices go up again. I already have an offer from a friend with property off the beaten path way out in the boondocks to let me move my MSRs and spare parts in a safe out to the barn on his property. And I’ll buy a cheap single shot or bolt action .223 rifle to "justify" the ammo I already have on hand at my house to the commies if I have to. OTH, if they actually move to confiscate MSRs, it’s time to start cutting heads anyway, so maybe it’s better not to hide them offsite at that point.

The funny thing is, as much as the commies fear and hate the AR and it’s puny cartridge, wait until they start getting plinked with .30 caliber and larger "hunting" rifles from standoff distances. Heck, even the lowly .30-30 can leave a mark from a ways away.

Which version is it? Ruger offers 17 versions of the "plain Jane" model, and 5 versions of the upgraded MPR model. Sorry to hear about your health.
