SGC Speedmaster

[Keithkilvo1]

I’m about to purchase a S/H Southern Gun Co. Speedmaster (2017) which I’m told is in .223/5.56 NATO
Is there any way to check that it is suitable for 5.56 ie would it be marked as such?

Cheers

Proof mark?

[Dr. Strangelove]

Either the proof mark or what it says on the barrel - I’ve got a BMS CAM with 5.56 stamped on the barrel near the muzzle.

My speed master has "nato " and 1.456 etched on the barrel and it has the wlyde chamber. It is away getting a new barrel as it happens so not sure how it will be marked when I get it back.
I have a photo of the marking but I do not know how to post a photo.
Cheers

If it isn't marked (unlikely) you could forward the serial number to Bob and ask him to look up his records.
