Optics-Ready Semi-Automatic Rifle
Optics-Ready Semi-Automatic Rifle Flat top Picatinny upper receiver and same-plane Picatinny gas block for easy attachment of magnified optic, red dot or open sights.
- Six-position telescoping M4-style buttstock and Mil-Spec buffer tube allow the rifle to be properly sized for different shooters, or varying levels of outerwear or defensive gear.
- Made from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum forging, the flattop upper receiver includes a forward assist, dust cover and brass deflector.
- Bolt is machined from 9310 alloy steel and is shot peened and pressure (proof) tested to ensure strength, structural integrity and durability.
- Patent pending Barrel Nut and Delta Ring are designed for one person handguard removal and installation. The design accepts most standard carbine length handguards. The barrel nut uses a standard wrench and can be swapped with a Mil-Spec barrel nut if desired.
- Milled gas block with integral Picatinny rail is located at a carbine-length (M4) position for improved balance and handling.
- Cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel with ultra-precise rifling provides exceptional accuracy, longevity and easy cleaning. The 1:8″ twist rate stabilizes bullets from 35 to 77 grains, and the 5.56 NATO chamber allows the use of both 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem. Ammunition. M4 feed ramps provide improved operational reliability, and the matte black oxide finish reduces glare and provides corrosion resistance.
- Ergonomic pistol grip features an extended trigger reach for more precise trigger control.
- Chrome-plated bolt carrier inside diameter and chrome-plated gas key inside diameter provide exceptional resistance to hot gases. The gas key is staked so that it will not loosen after extensive firing. A matte black oxide finish on the exterior of the bolt carrier provides corrosion resistance.
- Single-stage trigger provides durable and reliable fire control. The enlarged trigger guard is designed to allow gloved shooting.
- Handguards are made from heat-resistant glass-filled nylon for shooting comfort and durability.
- Also includes: One, 30-round Magpul® PMAG®.

Can my GALIL .223 safely use MAGHTECH/CBC 5.56 M193 NATO 55 GRAIN FMJ ammo which is widely available?

I have a bushmaster xm15 es2 and it is stamped 5.56 nato on barrel. Can I fire .223 Remington through it safely?

I recently build two AR15 carbines using kits i bought from a prominent online provider. One was a standard 16″ 5.56, and the other a 18″ 223 Wylde, and the cost for each kit saw almost the same, $329 and $359 respectively. That was before COVID 19 issue, so prices now may very, but my point is there wasn’t much cost difference and the 223 Wylde has a full SS barrel. This was a great reference article when deciding what to buy. THANKS

Just bought a bunch of 556 loaded with 65 grain. Is it safe to shoot out of my AR15 with a 223 wylde barrel
