Looking at getting one of the postban m4 type barrels with fake flash hider.  Was wondering if they were true 556 chamber and will they
eat anything you feed them unlike some of the
others.  Can anyone personally say yes or no
to eating any type ammo

Chamber is 5.56 (I believe)

Buuut.. I have a friend that shoots EVERYTHING through his... American Eagle, XM193, Q3131, Wolf... nary a hiccup. His is the unchromed barrel, fwiw.

I have the older non-chromed version as well and it feeds anything I put through it.  It's damn accurate too.

RRA uses Wilson barrels that I believe are the "Wylde" chamber, aka 223/5.56mm. I have an RRA upper (post ban) that shoots 223/5.56mm with no problems.

The M4 barrels from RRA/Wilson are true 5.56 chambers. The other barrels are the ones that are .223 Wylde. No need to fear, feed it any and all ammo that is near!

what he said, never had a problem with my RRA m4, get the chrome lined for 30 bucks and a few extra weeks wait it is well worth it!

and yes it is a true 5.56 chamber
