    If it says .223, then .223 only. If it says 5.56 or .223 Wylde, fire anything. .223 Wylde is a compromise in the very subtle difference between the profile of the .223 and the 5.56 (sharp vs slightly radiused bend in the shoulder), in order to take both. Either will fit fine in either chamber, but 5.56 has higher pressure and might leave you picking pieces of the .223 chamber out of your face with tweezers. You should have access to the numbers with the front grip off, which requires no tools.

    Dubsac I have 140 rounds... The barrel on says what I said it said. There r no markings of .223 or 5.56 anywhere? I will take off front grip again n double check. All I have seen visible is M1S 1-9 HC. This is all I can see on the barrel

    Plus have looked all over the net. Found a few places that did say it was 5.56. Didn't find any that said it wasn't tho. But I want to make sure before I throw my 5.56 tracers n my little toy gun
