Hi Everyone,
I am interested in getting a 5.56 AR rifle. I have been looking to see what the difference is between the two shells, I have read that the 5.56 has a thicker base and can handle more pressure while the .223 cannot. Also the 5.56 rifle can use both rounds while the .223 rifle cannot handle the 5.56 round.
Right now I am a bit confused as I am not sure what AR 5.56 to get, I see them advertised as .223/5.56 and even the once fired rounds are described the same way.
Anyone that has a 5.56 can you enlighten me so I wont be confused anymore? What do I look for when getting one of these rifles?
I dont want to get an AR .223 since my wife already has one, I want one that has a different round. My .308 is so modded that its really heavy, I want something lighter which I will not mod.
Thanks..
