You can shoot .223 thru a 5.56 barrel….just not supposed to do it the other way around. The 556 barrel just gives you the option to shoot both.

Re: What do you think of m AR15 build?
I'm new to the whole AR-15 build thing too and hopefully will be building my first soon. So I really appreciate you starting this post (and your others) as they have been very informative.
Looking at your new list, If you are going with those hand guards and gas block, you'll probably need a different barrel. The one you have now is carbine length...you would need a barrel with mid-length gas port cut. Or you could change the rail and gas block (low profile) and keep the gas system carbine if that’s what you want. I have decided to go with the ML barrel option because of what I've read here and elsewhere about the gas systems. Below are examples of the two barrels I will probably get.

Hope this helps from one noob to another
If I'm wrong, hopefully someone will correct me soon.
