Del-Ton Echo 316L Optic Ready Carbine 5.56 NATO Blue/Black Rifle

A: Ronnie, the barrel is stamped 5.56 NATO so it will accept either 5.56 or .223. Cheers and stay safe!

A: The barrels chambered for 556 so this can safely shoot both 223 or 556. Barrels stamped with 223 can only shoot 223. But this one's stamped 556 so it can do either. Hope this helps.

A: Yes, this has a manual safety on the left side. You can easily swap it out for an ambidextrous safety if you so choose to. Hope this helps

A: Yes, this uses standard 223/556 AR-15 magazines. Hope this helps.

A: Yes sir. Stay safe and happy plinking!!

A: Richard, yes, your standard AR15 magazines.

A: Richard, yes Sir, Standard AR Magazines and Drums will work. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/10610/magpul+pmag+d-60+556+60rd+black

A: It has a 16 inch barrel with a 1:9 twist rate. Stay safe and happy plinking!!

A: Richard, barrel twist is 1:9, full specs here >>> https://www.del-ton.com/Echo-316L-Optic-Ready-p/orftlw16-0.htm .....Have a great day!

A: Richard, this rifle has a 16" Lightweight Profile Barrel with M4 Feed Ramps, 1:9 Twist with Threaded Muzzle and A2 Flash Hider with a Manganese Phosphate Barrel Finish. Cheers and stay safe!

A: 1.9 twist see del-ton.com/Echo-316L-Optic-Ready-p/orftlw16-0.htm

A: This has a 16 inch barrel with 1:9 twist rate. So this should work well with lighter grain ammo. My 1:9 twist does 40-55 grain ammo very well but once I hit around 62 grain ammo accuracy starts decreasing. Hope this helps.

A: Ronnie, this rifle uses the Del-ton F Series Light Weight profile barrel but they don't list the diameter. Del-ton Customer Service should be able to provide accurate info at 910-645-2172 on by online inquiry here : https://www.del-ton.com/articles.asp?ID=83
