I was wondering if you can shoot nato milspec xm193 ammo in a Norinco M4?

As long as the barrel is marked 5.56, you should be good to go....

 

[powerbaitron]

there is no marking on the barrel.

No, if you have any of this ammo, you need to send it to me immediately for safe disposal.

But in all seriousness, yes, it's fine.

Where can I find some milspec XM193 in Canada?

No idea. I found a few boxes at a gun show last year, but there's no reliable source for them. I really don't understand why these threads keep popping up.

I think I'll put a standing offer to trade one for one any Milspec 5.56 ammo with safer .223 ammo, hell I'll even cover shipping

I have 2k rounds coming my way.

Then it's definitely not safe to shoot in a Norc. You need to send it to me, as my Swiss Arms is the only rifle in Canada that can safely dispose of it.

Yes

All Norc M4 are 5.56. No problemo.

I've heard and read (wekipedia so may not be too legit) that the norinco has problems feeding some 5.56.

I've been told it has a problem like nato 5.56 rounds. So with that being said what is the best ammo to feed it at the range?

Is there anything to look for or to filter out when getting rounds for these guns?

 

[enefgee]

Feed it 55 or 62 grain ball ammo, either 223 or 5.56 and it'll purr.

Plowed through 100 rounds of XM193 5.56 with my Nork today, no problems.

i have done both....in a norc, just like any ar-m4; your real enemy is not cleaning your gun regularly. fear that more than using m193 ammo.

when they say that ''once you use your fwd assist, its time to clean your gun'' they mean it
