Will this rifle fire 223 ammo? Thanks!

Allen, yes Sir. Any firearm with a barrel that is stamped 5.56NATO will fire the lower pressure .223 ammunition no issue. Cheers and stay safe!

Allen, yes sir, you can use .223 in a rifle rated for .556, just don't do it the other way around.

.223 will work in a .556 with no issues, this barell is rated for .556 (which is a higher pressure round) so it will handle the .223 with no problems.

Allen, Yes .223 Remington will work fine in this sporting rifle. 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington are exact same dimension. And the chamber pressure is about 10,000 PSI less in the .223 then 5.56. So in a 5.56 sporting rifle .223 will be no problem

Yes, will work with 5.56 or .223

What magazine would y'all recommend for this rifle? Thanks in advance!

Allan, Any AR 15 magazine will fit and function. 30 round magazines are the standard capacity. Magpul is very popular, but lancer, C-Products, Amend2, Thermold, ETS or Promag will fit and function. I stay away from certain brands. Magpul is probably the gold standard in AR 15 magazines. Look at the 150 AR magazines BUDs list and get some. I buy them 10 ay a time when I find a deal------------------ https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php/type/Magazines/caliber/10000601

Allen, I use the following AR Magazines and have not had an issue with either brand : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/1122/magpul+pmag+m2+moe+magazine+ar-15+223+rem%2f556+nato+30rd --------------------- https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/20638/aluminum+ar+magazine+223+remington%2f556mm+30+round+matte+black ------------------------- https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/9723/hexmag+black+30+round+magazine

Magpul M3 30 round pmag is kind of the gold standard but the 40 round magpul are good too as are Lancer brand magazine but Magpul is used by and designed for the USA marine corp, they are some of the most reliable and durable magazine available. 40 rd here https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/1130 30 round here https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/1131 Gen2 Pmags are good too but don't include dust covers https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/1122

Any recommendations for decent optics(scope, red dot, and open sights) for this rifle? Also, recommendations for a front grip would be helpful. Thanks

Over 2000 rounds through the gun and it is hold up very well. Great gun and worth the purchase.

Haven't had too much time to shoot. Took it out twice and shot 50 rounds. No problems so far. I like the grip and adjustable stock. The dusk cover is also a cool feature most modern rifles have.

Good handling rifle, trigger a little heavy but consistent. Shooting steel ammo it didn't feed as well until it started breaking in but overall a solid AR and perfect with holographic sight!

Buds delivers yet again. Paid for my order, shipped the next day and arrived within 2 days. Can’t say enough about these guys!
The Anderson AM-15 seems very solid for a budget no frills AR. I bought it to build it how I’d like. Save a few hundred over the Ruger and M&P if you’re going to be modding your weapon anyway!

Awesome purchase!!!! Very glad bought it when I did 4 months ago because I saved a lot! Buds delivered faster than usual which was also great! This rifle and its quality far outweighs its price! Thanks buds for providing the working man affordable options to protect ourselves and our homes!!!

Very good quality, feels good looks good, made in Kentucky,USA- still need to buy optics-have not been able to fire yet(Coronavirus), see no reason why it won’t work as well at it looks/feels.

If you are looking to get into and MSR on a budget, this rifle is a good option. If you know you will put an optic on, there is no reason to have the front sight. I put a scope on it right away and have some offset iron sights as a backup sighting system. The core of the rifle is solid and the handguard, grip, and buttstock are serviceable. I opted to put the Magpul MOE SL handguard and rubberized grip on it, and a MFT adjustable stock on it. The nice thing is this is not a pricey rifle so you can customize these sorts of things to your liking and still keep it cheap. It is accurate enough to hit targets at 100 yards with good results, as long as your ammo isn't total trash. It seems to run well on 62gr and up projectiles, but it will shoot anything 5.56 just fine. Is it the most accurate barrel? Probably not, but if you are new to rifles, it probably is outshooting you. This package lets you figure stuff out without being too much upfront.

A to buds. I got this on the 180 day layaway and paid it off on a Sunday and picked up the rifle on Thursday. I giving the rifle 4 stars do to the front of the lower the paint didn't cover half of the lower on the front of the mag well. I took the rifle out and ran 100 rounds of mixed ammo through it and it ate anything I fed it. 55 grain fmj in a 3 inch circle at 100 yards. If not for the paint issue it would of been 5 stars. Thanks buds guns.
