If it was in color and non-Photoshopt, you could tell the difference. The Ruger AC-556 has an open-top receiver.

Also, Ruger should have made it STANAG-compatible.

Yeah, there are some disadvantages to the open-top receiver. But one advantage is it's easy to clear jams.

The AC556 doesn't have a folding stock, that's the AC556F and Ruger Mini-14 / GB-F, I thought you'd know that Iggy. Of course, I may just be remembering things wrong, I can't really think at the moment.

Ruger AC-556? Ain't that the full-auto Mini-14? How'd you get your hands on one of those?

I have a friend who has a Class 2 license. The AC-556 is his. I used to have a Mini-14 in pre-ban configuration, but I sold it. Currently, I have a Carbon 15 and an M-1 Carbine (with modern w0od stock, metal handguard, and adjustable rear sight). M-1 Carbines with original w0od furniture are expensive these days.

I see. Ha, yeah the little bastards will empty your wallet in a heartbeat. I love them, though. One of the best and most unique firearms ever made.
Isn't a Carbon-15 a .223 pistol?

There's a pistol version, but mine is the rifle.

I see. Is that a direct gas-impingement weapon or does it have a piston?

Huh. Didn't know Carbons were piston guns. Good to know.

With the pistol versions, you can tell by the projection on the back where the stock would ordinarily be. Olympic Arms OA-98 pistols have gas impingement. You can tell by the lack of that telltale projection characteristic of most AR-type pistols. My Carbon 15 is the rifle version of the Type 97. There's an improved version with a Picatinny rail that runs from the receiver all the way down the forearm. I've sometimes thought of putting a gas block on it so I could get some iron sights for it, but the rail on a gas block isn't lined up with the receiver rail, so that wouldn't work (unless I'm mistakified).

I like your Bruce Campbell look, though with an eye patch and long hair you could pull off a Snake Plissken.

His most famous roles were Kyle Reese (his personal favorite) from The Terminator and Dwayne Hicks from Aliens.
