Ok gang........Santa was REAL nice to me, he even came a little early in the form of a slightly used (150 rds max) Colt MT6700 Target Match Competetion HBAR rifle for $555.
Here's my question.....the barrel is stamped CMP 5.56 NATO / 1/9 HBAR. I have heard two stories regarding Colts civilian model ARs concerning ammo. I have been using XM193 Federal / Lake City. This is military spec ammo.....is that ok or do I need to stick with civilian .223 such as Black Hills etc???
