R-15 Chambering

[ftabangler13]

Hi guys,

Dad just bought a SWEET Remington R-15 VTR SS the other day. I can't find a definitive answer for him as to whether or not it's chambered in .223, or a hybrid chamber. He's planning on shooting .223 in the field, but for plinkers I'm not sure what to tell him. Any advice is appreciated!

Should say somewhere on the barrel...It is either a 223 or a 204.

I think he's asking if it's .223, 5.56, or one of the hybrid chambers - like Wylde etc.

I agree, check on the barrel where the proper chamber should be indicated (up front, between gas block and end of barrel/flash hider)

And that is the answer I gave. It is either 223 Rem or 204 Ruger, not 5.56/223 or 223 Wylde.

When in doubt shoot .223 or, have a gunsmith check the chamber.

eta: Remington's online catalog says it's .223.

Just got pics from the range. 5 shots, last 3 were sub- MOA. Whatever he's shooting it works.
