No safety/reliability issues. However shooting 5.56 out of a .223 barrel MAY cause reliability issues (casings sticking). Depends on the particular ammo and how close to the minimum .223 dimensions your chamber is cut. I've seen .223 chambered rifles choke on Winchester Q3131A (5.56) and I've seen them eat it with ease. |

DPMS chambers are actually & no buts about it, chambered for 5.56, dont know why they marked 223 on their barrels.
Their the only AR makers that does that. There a link to that fact floating around here some where. TG
