Cre-18?

[jlewis406]

I am looking at one of the new Colt CRE-18 rifles. I noticed there is no where to mount BUIS. If I get this I plan on making it a coyote/medium range rifle. I will never run it as a competition gun mainly because I am not a competitor, but I can get a good deal on said gun and I like precision. Does anyone have any actual hands on experience with the CRE-18? Thoughts? On the Colt site it says it is chambered in .223 Remington, but on other websites it says .223 Wylde. I have a ton of 5.56 at the house and NO .223Rem. Anyone know which it is?

Looks like a simple change of gas block with the correct height for your chosen sight.

As for you runnin' 5.56 through it... I wouldn't be the least concerned in this case regardless of what the chamber nazis may toss your way to befuddle you.
