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.
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
Now long term would what one would be better. Let's pretend money is no issue
I'd run a .223 wylde barrel, myself
The reason being is that you'll be able to still take full advantage of the .223 remington's accuracy
But for all practical purposes, a 5.56 barrel will run both with plenty enough accuracy to make for a good defensive tool
Perfect! 5.56 it is
Thank you for all your help!
Anytime. Stay frosty out there
yah will do. Its not that i want to get involved with these people who want to hurt pro trump but i really dont want to be wishing i could of done something after its too late
Right
I want a Mini-14 one day
But I'm going to save up for a shotgun rn since they're cheaper and yea
I tried to talk a guy into selling me an early 90s mini at a gun show for 500 cash
Wouldn't take it
Ah. Yeah they're expensive nowadays...
They're too expensive
My dad got his like 20 years ago for $650 used but it came with a nice scope
I paid like 860 out the door for my Kalash
