I wouldn't put any credibility in the 5.56 nomenclature, those are two different barrels not chamberings, one is a 22", the other 24", both 223 Rem.

Bud's also still lists NEF brand firearms which haven't been made in several years, you'll find other errors in his listings too.  ::)

Thanks for clarifying that. Hope it gets corrected before somebody has trouble. I never really wanted a .223 but the thought did cross my mind  after seeing  the listing, especially after stopping in at Sportsmans Warehouse over the weekend and seeing several palets of 5.56 forsale.
