    The deal is horseshit. It affects everybody. They were right to send letters to try to stop it.

    Two points. Hillary is corrupt and needs to be stopped. And the Iran deal is awful. Everything that could have been done, should have been done to stop it. People need to stop pretending that this president is gifted in the foreign policy department.

    Yeah, that's because it was probably an AR-10. An AR-15 can be built to fire .30 caliber bulletes but they are most likely a .223 Remington case necked up to 30 cal. The gas recoil system needs to be modified to operate correctly, but they are essentially the same. Only the barrel is different.

    Exactly. And they all are .22 caliber cartridges.

    The difference between a .223 Remington and a 5.56 NATO is essentially just the name. 6mm Remington and .243 Winchester are the same caliber and the internal barrel dimensions are identical. Just the chamber is different.

    Yes they are. They definition of caliber as it pertains to firearms is the diameter of the bore of the barrel.

    All very true. But they both are fired from .22 caliber barrels.

    Yeah, the bullets are pretty much exactly the same caliber. Thanks for posting the picture. The rimfire bullet probably measures .225" and the centerfire bullet probably measures about .2245". That is a difference of five 10,000ths of an inch. They are the same caliber.

    And you most certainly could fire a jacketed .224" caliber bullet through a rimfire barrel. Chamber pressures might be a little high, but as long as the barrel was chambered for the cartridge you are trying to fire, it would work. I know this. I own a company in the firearms industry, and have chambered hundreds of barrels.

    The chamber is .22 caliber. It has a throat and a lead which is designed to transition the bullet into a .22 caliber bore. Good luch chambering a cartridge with a 1" caliber bullet in a .22" caliber rifle.

    Or maybe that has now changed, It looks like .223 centerfire is now the minimum allowed.

    There is no such thing as a .22 caliber chamber. It is a generic description that encompasses all .22 caliber rifles.

    An AR-15 most certainly is a .22. It is a .22 caliber rifle. A .22 rimfire is also a .22 caliber. When someone refers to a generic .22 they are referring to the caliber not the chamber.

    No, an AR-15 is a .22 caliber. The military cartridge is called a 5.56 NATO. The sporting version is a .223 Remington. The bore dimension is .219", the groove dimension is .224". In a .22 Long Rifle the bore dimension varies by manufacturer but is generally .217" and the groove is .222". They all are considered .22 caliber, they are just called by different names to distinguish the chamber.

    In most states it is illegal to hunt deer with an AR-15 in it's standard .22 caliber because it is not considered powerful enough and therefor is inhumane.
