Does anyone know if there are different bolt assemblies for the rifles specified for ".223" vs. "556"?
I have a HBar SS Match Target upper, and the barrel is stamped ".223", and I want to use that bolt assembly in another upper whose barrel is stamped "5.56", and I was wondering if the bolts would be different.
Obviously, I don't know that much about this, that's why I'm asking. Apparently the chambers are different, based on the quote below, but I don't know if the bolts are machined any different to match the different chambers.
The quote if from the RRA website, indicating that they have different chambers for 5.56 vs .223 and the bolt/barrels I'm actually working with are made by (for?) DPMS... I'm not sure if that makes a difference, or if they are both getting them from the same place.

The .223 Wylde chamber was designed as a match chambering for semi-automatic rifles. It will accomodate both .223 Rem and 5.56mm NATO ammunition. It is relieved in the case body to aid in extraction and features a shorter throat for improved accuracy.
