It most likely IS chambered for 5.56, but since it was meant for the civilian market, they probably put a "223 rem" stamp on it because the average civilian (unless they're a USMC/US Army veteran) has no clue what 5.56x45mm is.

Be assured that it's a 5.56 chamber. Owned one for awhile. Never fired anything but military in it. Heck, I doubt the Koreans even know there is any other chamber dimension but the military. Far as I know, they build these barrels right on their military production line.

Were you the one who picked it up at the Equipment exchange for $400?

No, I could have had that one but already ordered this one for $550 and paid for it. This one was in better shape anyway and the seller was not a new registrant. Not bashing the seller of the $400 gun, he was just too unknown, and I already ordered this one. I have a lead on a second one I will likely buy next month, in the 500 range again. Just waiting on my bonus check. These things are beyond sweet!
