I want to get a NR rifle that has a 5.56 chamber. I believe some rifles out there are sold as 223 but are in fact 5.56. So please list what rifles are 5.56. I know the T97nsr is. Any others? Please don't turn this into a 223 vs 556 thing.

I'm pretty sure most are actually 5.56.
My HK SL8-4 says .223 but actually has a 5.56 chamber, the XCR and AR180B-2 both have 5.56.
I'm not sure about the Benelli MR-1.
Pretty sure the Kel-Tec SU-16 is 5.56 as well.
Swiss Arms is 5.56

What am I missing? Must be too early in the morning, I can't think of any others.
 
I know most, if not all, Daniel Defence guns are. The current ones should be marked 5.56 and the last few batches were marked .223 to get around export restrictions.

Thanks for mentioning that Brian. Yea I already have a 5.56 M4. From time to time I find crates of 5.56 and want a Non Restricted (NR) rifle that can shoot it too. I know the argument that you can or cannot shoot 5.56 in a 223 rem chamber and I do this but want to avoid it. (recently had a 223 Kaboom) So... NR, STANAG mag, and 5.56 (even if it is stamped or sold as 223 but really 5.56
Thanks Folks. All input appreciated.
