Will this shoot both .223 and 5.56 without changing barrels?
Hi Clifford, yes sir, a rifle chambered for 5.56 will fire both 5.56 and .223. You do not need to swap barrels.
Stay safe & have a great day!
Hi Clifford and welcome. Yes Sir, the barrel is actually stamped 5.56NATO so will fire either 5.56 or .223 no issue. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
Yes, no need to do anything but load it & fire away!!! As Randy explained below, no issues with both calibers in this model.
