Since you read it, what does this mean:

"As if the confusion regarding the .223 vs 5.56 chambers wasn’t enough, there is a third possibility in the mix, that is being used by at least one major manufacturer. The .223 Wylde chamber is a modified SAAMI-spec .223 chamber that allows for the safe use of 5.56 NATO rounds, but maintains tighter tolerances for better accuracy."

Is that saying that you could have a 223 AR-15 that is designed to safely fire 5.56 rounds???

I have posted more than once that Bushmaster has said that their barrel has been developed to handle the 5.56 bullet. I even posted the link from Bushmaster.

Don’t tell me you didn’t read it.

You read every post that I wrote yesterday on that thread.
