Get the Alcor instead. 5.56 is way cheaper than .308, it has better stock and forend options, and its probably the least shit-on Turkish semi.

Edit* Didnt realize the "a" came chambered in .223

Most people are saying due to Turkish regulations guns for 55.6 count as military weapons while 223 Remington is civilian so most Turkish 223 rem guns also work with 556

No you're right, I just didn't realize the AD500 came in .223 when I originally made my comment. It used to only be available in .308

That being said, the Alcor is still a better choice.
