A Mini-14 I've looked at is marked ".223" on the receiver. It is a 580-6XXXX with the heavier barrel (up to just ahead of the forearm). Is this rifle chambered for just the civilian .223 Remington round, or will it safely fire 5.56mm NATO?
In other words you can shoot either the regular commercial .223 Remington or the military 5.56 ammo! My mini 14 shoots all of it with no problems even the cheap steel cased Russian Wolf Ammo with no problems!!!!!
