In illinois you have to apply for a firearm ownership card and by law the state police must approve or deny you within 30 days

But they arent

I applied 85 days ago and havent heard shit

Theres reports of people waiting up to 8 months to hear back

But if a private citizen procrastinated something like this, they'd be fucked

@Biker what do you know about 300 black out or something like that

Its subsonic and very quiet with a silencer.

@Boneless Jungle Ham Overrated unless you run a suppressor. If you don't, you may as well run 7.62x39

AR15, just get a 5.56 or a .223 Wylde chambering

What is wylde?

It's the name of the guy who designed a .223 chamber that can handle the chamber pressures of 5.56 nato

So if I get the wylde it can shoot .223 and 5.56? Or are they the same?

They are *similar*

Similar enough for me to shoot either or if got a .223?

The external dimensions of the two cartridges are identical

The difference lies in the internal dimensions

I guess what I'm saying is. Is it possible to shoot both cartridges?

If you get a .223 wylde or a 5.56 barrel, yes

So it's in the barrel? Mostly then?

Nvm that was dumb

Don't sweat it, I'll explain

Thanks for taking time with me my guy

No problem

I mentioned that their external dimensions are identical

5.56 Nato ammo runs at a higher chamber pressure than .223 remington ammo

.223 remington ammo also likes to engage rifling for accuracy much sooner than 5.56 does

The reason that this is important to mention is because the combination of the two will cause a .223 remington barrel to eventually fail

If you run 5.56 through it

OOOHH

Ok I get it now. Sounds like maybe in a jam you could mix match per say. Otherwise pick one and role with it.

You can mix and match as long as you do not buy a dedicated .223 remington chambered barrel

So if you're trying to get an AR15 for SHTF prepping, that's something you need to consider

Shtf?

"Shit hits the fan"

HAHAH ok

Yah for shtf

It's a term used to describe some sort of catastrophic scenario that one might prep for, i.e. civil war, economic collapse, nuclear attack, etc.

Yeee I'm in Wisconsin sooooo

Oh boy

Yeeee oh boy for sure

Yeah, get either a 5.56 nato barrel or a .223 wylde barrel. 5.56 nato barrels are more common and typically less expensive, if budget is a consideration. It usually is
