That's not internet-hysteria, there. It'll happen, over time. Is this something a competent gunsmith could make work? Meaning If I ever decide to buy a .223 boltie is there ways for my smith to modify the rifle to shoot 5.56?

Run a Wylde reamer in the chamber -- guys did this with Mini-14 Targets (.223 Rem chamber) quite frequently. Shouldn't cost much to have a 'smith do the job.

98Z5V Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) ^^^ They're both right on the money. 5.56 NATO chamber has a longer leade, and you can load it to higher pressures (over .223 Rem ammo), with the longer leade. .223 Wylde chamber is a hybrid between .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO chambers. Here is a great explanation from Sierra: https://sierrabulletsblog.com/2016/03/02/5-56-and-223-remington/ Here's the ".308 Win version" of a .223 Wylde: https://sierrabulletsblog.com/2017/06/13/the-m118-lr-chamber-the-223-wylde-of-the-308-ar-world/ Edited December 6, 2018 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 As far as non-ARs go, this is by FAR my favorite .308 that's not an AR. Ruger GSR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 That thing is a beast, man - it rips up anything within 400 yards with that red dot on there. Little bit of higher hold out there, but easy to get used to. That's a kickass rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll rattle your teeth with that shiitty Ruger FH on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
