Can/should my buddy's AR .223 be converted to Wylde?

[QUOTE="TimberWalker, post: 2130849, member: 117614"] The barrel on his rifle [I]should [/I]be stamped with the chambering (should have the twist rate as well), very few ARs have been produced in strictly .223 rem chamberings (but they are out there). He may have an issue with the chamber itself. 5.56 and .223 Wylde barrels will both shoot 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem, the Wylde supposedly is more accurate (especially with .223 rem load specs) from what I understand. Your friend may just have an issue with his chamber/feed ramps. Rebarreling an AR is very simple, and will more than likely be the same cost or cheaper than having the current barrel reamed. [/QUOTE]
