    I have one and it is marked 5.56x45mm, there is no problem whatsoever.

    SAAMI says 5.56x45mm and .223 Remington are safe to interchange. They are safe to shoot in each others chambers. It is not a complicated matter. Sure technicals could be debated but in the end as a shooter, they're the same practically.

    you can fire 223 out of a 5.56, but not a 5.56 out of a 223. differences in the rifling leads to excessive buildup of pressure
    "These pressures are generated and measured using a chamber cut to 5.56 NATO specifications, including the longer leade. Firing 5.56mm NATO from a chamber with a shorter .223 Remington leade can generate pressures in excess of SAAMI maximums."

    Not really poor C/S, Because they BARELY post here ( might see John post up once a month if that ) Or some from marstar, mostly just posts up specials, and thats it. Won't find Q and A here.

    Got a question, how about you email or call them. Its chambered in .223.

    9 days from your post it was Dec 23. I'm pretty sure most if not all Marstar employees have been off work for the holidays.
