Bought my first bow there loved the place. miss okiebug also my favorite places as a kidJoe and Wanda were the buyers for Looboyles sporting goods dept.
So 5.56 is a Nato round that exceeds .223 pressure! The chamber must be 5.56 to shoot 223. A 223 chamber should not shoot 5.56 ammo. Have not owned a 224 Wilde so I can't speak to it.Anyone ever parted ways with a rifle and been messaged a week later with a crazy claim? Sold a feller a complete AR with a 223 wylde chambered upper last week. He asked a million questions about 556 compatability etc. I did the best to provide links to him so he could read up on it himself. He agrees to purchase and we meet up. He never tried to talk me even a cent off of my asking. Out of the blue today I get a message that I'm a liar because he went to the gun shop and the guy at the counter said anything marked 223 can't fire 556. He won't say which shop...long story short I told him sorry but he's wrong and that we were done talking. First time in 25ish years wheeling and dealing that's happened to me. Did I handle it correctly or should I have provided more info?
I think maybe you missed the entire point of the thread.So 5.56 is a Nato round that exceeds .223 pressure! The chamber must be 5.56 to shoot 223. A 223 chamber should not shoot 5.56 ammo. Have not owned a 224 Wilde so I can't speak to it.
You handled it well enough, but you left a rifle in the hands of someone who obviously doesn't know enough to be a responsible weapons owner. If you still had the cash, you should've taken it back for less than he paid you for it and told him that is what life's lessons cost.

I think you nailed it re Buyers Remorse + gun shops hate to see private gun sales/trades - period - so he would be happy to mislead a customer - probably told him he paid way too much tooAnyone ever parted ways with a rifle and been messaged a week later with a crazy claim?
