I know this is going to sound really dumb, but the consequences of a mistake will look even dumber. My receiver says 5.56 on the side, no mention of .223. I was under the impression that my rifle would be wylde chamber. Wouldnt it be on the rifle if it was? Picture of mentioned weapon: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v301/kingpinsvt/RRA-1.jpg |
Well de de de for me. Found the barrel codes thread. Mine is 200, so I guess I didnt get the wylde chamber. I guess I can only blame myself for that mistake. I assumed based on the RRA website that all were Wylde, since it says that next to all of the rifles in the .223 cat. In any case, it doesnt matter. I was only sweating it because I already loaded up on .223 per the owner of the store I bought the weapon from. Since I can still shoot it from my 5.56, no biggie. Live and learn!

All .223 stainless bbls and the 20" moly/chrome-lined molys are Wylde. All of the other moly/chrome-lined moly bbls are NATO chambered. All of the rifles and upper halves in our catalog list the chamber under the caliber line item in their description, and all of the barrels include which chamber is used in them onthe barrel page as the first item in each description.
