Quick question on CTAR and TAR21

[mshundal]

Far as I understand it, 223 can be fired in a 556 chamber but not the other way around.

With that in mind, all Tavors I've seen have been marked 223 - what does this mean? (in terms of using 556 ammo)

Context, I am ready to buy a CTAR (non restricted makes no sense to me in Toronto, anytime I wanna shoot, a range at hour+ is closer than crown land at 3 hours+)

They are marked .223 to avoid export regulations. As far as I'm aware, Israel cannot export military marked caliber rifles for commercial use. This is what I have heard and read but if I am wrong somebody please correct me.

tavors are actually chambered for 556... its marked .223 for export reasons... you can use either....

Also the only difference from restricted to non restricted is about 3 inches on the barrel. I prefer the NR
