Noob question! I'm new to firearms, I know this is going to be a dumb question but..
Looking at buying a X95 Tavor and had a quick question regarding the caliber.
I see X95's in 223, 223/556. I'm looking to shoot 556, I know 223/556 are the same for the most part. But I heard you can safely shoot 223 ammo in a rifle chambered in 556, but not the other way around in shooting 556 in a 223 chambered rifle? Does it matter? I heard people say it should be fine. Something about X95 is different when it comes to that? I just want to confirm before I drop the amount it costs for a Tavor.
Thanks
