From .22LR to .50 BMG.  You name it and if it will fit (and even if it won't sometimes) the AR has been chambered for it.

.22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, 5.56, 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC, 458 SOCOM 250, .458 SOCOM 500, .308, 470 Rhino, .500 Phantom, and .50 BMG down front.  Obvioulsy the .308 and .470 Rhino are LR-308/AR-10 rounds as is the .500 Phantom with the M33 ball ammo, but with hunting bullets it will work in the AR-15.
And there are a million more that fit.
