Thanks, got it! A couple inches back from the muzzle. 5.56Nato. Twist rate is there, can't quite make it out.
The combination of an extremely faint inscription and a barrel exterior so roughly machined that it could almost be used as a wood rasp make it pretty hard to spot. That's not a complaint, just a bit of a dig; I put another 60 rounds through the gun today and it is running like a top.
Eat right, don't drink, don't smoke, exercise, get lots of sleep...and die anyway!
If you want to buy it, say "I'll take it".
If you want to make an offer, say "I'll take it for $X".
If you want to practice your negotiating skills by asking if I will accept $X, with no intention of actually buying...say nothing.
why the change? I thought it was 223 wylde and mine is 5.56
It was mentioned that some of the .223 Wylde reamers weren't producing chambers that were to spec.
There's also some issues with some common 5.56 rounds in .223 Wylde chambers.
Having to mortar your rifle to extract a live round (with the chance of the bullet getting stuck and pulling free) every time with some ammo isn't high on anyone's favourite activities, as it also means that you're probably getting overpressure due to zero freebore.
Some folks had no issues, others did. Myself, I sent my rifle in to have the chamber recut to 5.56.
So are all the .223 Wylde chamber guns on a recall notice??
