[QUOTE="Allen49, post: 2987321, member: 128584"] I believe that the AR platform is developed on the 5.56mm and not the 223. The AR will fire the 223 cartridge but if I understand it right the 5.56mm chamber of the AR is a little longer thus it will fire the 223 cartridge. But a 223 rifle may not except a 5.56 cartridge. When I had my 17-223 built I made up a dummy hand-load from a 223 cartridge with a 25 grain Hornady hollow point bullet. I took the round and action to a gunsmith and had him chamber and seat a 17 cal barrel for that specific cartridge. You should be ok with the AR platform. I forget the twist in the rifling I had in mine but it was built on the H&R 17-223 model. [/QUOTE]
