I'm unsure on the first question, I've heard different answers.
The second question, yes, you can shoot .223 Remington in a 5.56 NATO chambered gun. We do it all the time with out club's DPMS AR's.
I'm unsure on the first question, I've heard different answers.Wich one is the better to have on an AR? Also can you shoot .223 in a 5.56 nato chamber?
It depends. With Chrome-lined, you will give up some accuracy. But what kind of rig are you buying / building? A CQB version - I'd go chrome-lined. Reason - longer barrel life and easier to clean. But a long-distance sniper-type rig, I'd go chrome-moly for better accuracy.Wich one is the better to have on an AR?
Yes, but not the other way around. You can shoot either .223 or 5.56 in a chamber for 5.56. But you should only shoot .223 in a .223 chamber. You should check out the ammo oracle, lots of good infoAlso can you shoot .223 in a 5.56 nato chamber?
I love that, but I'd go with a flat top and put your own rear sight on there. This will give you more options for optics and the like. I think RRA makes an A2 sight like that that mounts instead of being intigrated. I have a RRA tactical carry handle that has a piece of flat mount and essentially gives me that set up. Difference is it comes off when I need to mount a scope.It'll be next Feb but this is what I'm hoping for.

I'd skip the UTE upper and go with a regular flat top. No sense being stuck with a permanent A2 sight.It'll be next Feb but this is what I'm hoping for.

I have that gun except I have the tactical. The 2 stage trigger is pretty nice. I shot a aftermarket 2 stage by another company and it was a little nicer, But for the money the RRA trigger is smooth. Here is mine, I have added some ladders to protect my rails.It'll be next Feb but this is what I'm hoping for.

Yes it is, I want to get something different, something a little fatter and with molded finger grooves. But that is not on my list of priorities for my AR right now.Is that a Hogue grip?
Eagle has them for under $100I was just unsure of the removeable rear sights. Thanks to you all I will most likely go with the one in the pic above. What would be a decent rear sight thats modeately priced? These (below) are on the RRA web site and are a little over $100.

I don't think that it affects anything. But I am still learning about the AR..I like this one REAL well too. This one comes with the tactical removable carry handle(on it in the pic), the 6 position stock. With the chrome lined barrel option retail is $1040. The UTE2 with the (optional) 6 position stock and chrome lined barrel option retails for $1025. So either way I'm cool with it. I know I won't pay full retail at my local dealer so that's even better!

I do have a question though? What's with the short handguard? How does it affect the gun(reliability and whatnot)? Thats where the gas tube is right?
