    Would anyone here know if my 16 inch stainless steel White Oak Armament medium contour barrel is in fact a true Wylde chambered barrel? I have shot nearly every brand of commercially loaded 223 and 5.56 as well as my own hand loads and have yet to have a ftf or fte.

    If you have doubts, call them up, ask to speak to John, and refer them to this thread. Just ask him straight up if he uses a Wylde or a variant, and if so, what's the variance?

    Chamber casting or a reamer in that spec.

    Just for curiosity I may do a casting of my BM barrel and Operator barrel just to see how they measure up. Years ago I did a casting of a surplus 6.5 Swede, and I still have that on my bench. Talk about freebore.

    223 V 5.56

    Ok this is my first post on this forum, I called Colt yesterday about my HBAR 223 and the 5.56 Question, My lower reciever is stamped 223,and i have fired a ship load of 556 throught it, Customer Service at colt told me all Colts were reamed to fire 5.56 and tested for the pressures,I then ask to speak to someone in the Q.C. Department and Shawn got on the phone,I told him the 223 and 5.56 were throated diffferent,He said that was right but all Colt AR15 type were milled for the 5.56 even when the reciever is marked 223.
    I requested something in writing and Colt said they would send it,Hope to post it when it arrives
