In any event, if a particular gun does have the minimum spec 223 chamber/throat, a throating reamer can be rented and open it up fairly simply.

    The 223 designation is probably more oriented towards sport shooters who have little or no knowledge of a 5.56 or what differences there may be.

    I shot 5.56 ammo in my CZ 527 without any problem. Its likely throated in such a way that it doesn't matter what loads you shoot. Theres differences in other calibers. Browning 45-70s are known to have short throats compared to some other factory guns. It only matters with some bullet profiles, and is simple to open up the throat if need be.
    Interesting, thanks for your input.

    Was just shooting my Brockman pre 64 twin to Darryl's Marlin 30-30:

    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    That is a nice looking gun. Does the butt trap work better in 30-30 than it does in 45-70?

    Dates to 1884, waiting on a letter to see if it was shipped in this configuration.

    The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
    disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.

    Lt. Dave, thanks for correcting thread drift so handsomely! I'll be in my bunk, pondering a tattoo of that '73!

    The plastic gear in the BLR was mentioned. No plastic gear in the Henry apparently.

    Oh my! This is going to cost me some money. Always wished there was a solid modern option to replicate the ole' Savage model 99 and the shortcomings of the BLR.
