Hi Buck and welcome. Yes, the barrel is stamped 5.56NATO and will shoot .223 ammunition no issue. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Yes a barrel stamped 5.56 barrel will shoot .223 ammo reliably

Hi Buck, yes sir, this will work reliably with both 5.56 and .223 ammo. Stay safe & have a great day!

Absolutely yes! If it's marked 5.56 it can shoot .223 as well. Not the other way around though. If it states .223 only then it's not made to handle the higher pressured 5.56 rounds.
