223 was the primary offering available to civilians in the 'mainline retail establishments'.meaning discount department stores like K-Mart and even grocery and hardware stores.īack then a 5.56 marked receiver would have by my thinking confused more buyers.assuming most came from the civilian sector.than would. You may be correct in your assessment of why Ruger began to mark receivers with 5.56, though I have another theory.and it is just an opinion, I have no facts to back it up.
