All Colt AR types are 5.56mm. The barrel marking controls. C=Colt, MP= magnetic particle tested.
Early SP1 barrel only marked 12
Weren't there ARS made in NATO 5.56mm? Since there are presssre differences between the.223 and 5.56, the higher pressure rifle had to be marked as such?.
Would the only way to prove it would be to do a chamber casting?
It will shoot both. .223 Rem is just the commercial version of 5.56 NATO. Same deal with .308 Win and 7.62 NATO.
