Does this gun shoot 223 also?
Roy, yes Sir. The barrel is stamped 5.56NATO so it will safely fire 5.56 and .223 no worries. Cheers and stay safe!
Roy, yes, this will shoot either 5.56 or .223. You can shoot .223 from a gun if the barrel is stamped 5.56, but you shoulkd not shoot 5.56 from a gun if it is stamped .223. Have a great day!
