    If these are the same as the last batch to come in, the chambering is 5.56mm since the uppers are designed for military use (chrome/ FA Carrier properly staked/ Taper Pinned/ Bayonet Lug etc.) These were a great deal at $900 - 100% reliable, 99% interchangeable parts, shoot into 2" at 100 yards - they're incredible at $700, don't buy one, buy 2 - or as Hungry says, "your d*ck will fall off"

    When you say 99% interchangeable, what parts of it is not compatible with other AR-15's?

    The ambi-safety can be awkward to replace too, due to the way it's held together, that said apart from the safety I've got a Stag trigger/hammer in mine, a Hogue grip, MOE stock, Midwest FF rail and Vortex FH. You can have a ton of fun replacing parts, or run it stock - either way a terrific value.

    I heard many stories about the quality of the ambi safety. And from the pictures I've seen, I would like to remove that as well when mine arrives. How hard is it to swap the safety out in a scale of 1/10 for someone that hasn't disassembled an AR before?

    You'll need to take out the whole hammer/trigger system and pistol grip.
    not too hard, about 5 on your scale.

    The upper receiver is a "flat-top" (railed)... the carry handle mounts on the rail, secured w/ thumb screws...

    If you replace the ambi safety does the selector then go into the right position? Remember something about a goofy safety or fire position on these.
