I was able to get Binelli USA customer service to confirm in writing that 5.56 is ok for an MR1 with the ".223" stamped on the barrel. It appears there are some import considerations and/or translation issues with european manufacturers of 5.56 capable rifles. the same type of confusion reins for other european imports of 5.56/.223. see the posts on the san sig 55x on the sig forum at: http://sigforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/630601935/m/4090092552/p/1

I understand the differences in the ammunition pressures. I don't understand why Binelli stamped .223 on a rifle advertised as "chambered for 5.56 NATO" and beleive they owe all who bought their rifles an explanation.

Either/or: can you forward that email to me? I've been unable to get customer service to email me a confirm that 5.56 is ok with .223 stamped on barrel. This would be helpful as I don't understand why Benelli stamped .223 on the barrel of a rifle advertised as "chambered for 5.56 Nato". Thanks. You can email via [email protected]
