Norinco M4 review/mods (cqb reference)

All the titles of the rifle that I've seen for sale @ dealers online say "Norinco CQ 5.56", but the description always has .223Rem in it...
I'd be curious to know this as well.
I have shot strictly American Eagle 55g .223. I can attest to the rifle loving that round. Over 1400 rounds without any failures.
I'm almost 100% sure its 556. Norinco originally produced this rifle for military use...including the fun switch 
. They are just manufacturing it to make money from the civilian community (semi auto). I have made reloads out of everything from federal 223, to IVI 556, and all of my loads are hot (26 grains of win 748)....shoot whatever you got

The first batch were definitely 5.56mm. I'm surprised no one ran any of that PMC M855 that TSE had through a Norc. If anyone from TSE is looking at this, we need more of that - but given the current circumstances in S. Korea I doubt there's much surplus at the moment.
