There is a 5.56 pistol in the classifieds for $500. 5.56 in a .223 chamber is an over pressure concern. Do not do that.

Yeah, I should clarify. I wouldn’t shoot 5.56 in a .223 target rifle. But why would anyone do that? Buy a damn ar, it’s Americas Rifle after all. Do the research on 5.56 vs .223.. Don’t use it in target rifle but, I would if I needed to.
I prefer peace.But if trouble must come let it come in my time. So that my children may live in peace

.223 Wylde is a hybrid .223/5.56 chamber designed by Bill Wylde to yield the accuracy advantages of the match .223 Remington commercial chambering but without pressure or reliability failures when using high velocity 5.56 NATO spec ammunition. The .223 Wylde achieves better accuracy by having a chamber throat that is tighter than 5.56 but will still function reliably with military 5.56 ammunition as the case dimensions are the same. https://shopwilsoncombat.com/223-Wylde-Barrels/products/395/I did not realize this about the .223 Wylde. Thank you for educating me.

Consider a Ruger Mini-14. They are semi expensive compared to a run of the mill AR, but if I remember right, they aren't on the Dem's list to be banned. Trigger sucks and less accurate than most cheap $499 AR's I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in a firearm than in my Mini 14. Sold it almost immediately for the reasons tmd11111 mentioned
