My guess would also be 6.8 SPC based on the position of the new shoulder, but definitely verify this before use.
What the heck did I buy? AR-15

Sure, it fits, but that doesn't mean it'll feed. A mag for any cartridge that a non-proprietary AR-15 can take will fit any lower.

Ok. I looked up dimensions. I'd bet that animator is right, and that it's 6.8 SPC. Case length of 43 mm is damn close.
TurtlePhish: lay off me. I'm tired and I've had too much heat today!
But i see your point. I'm drinking Steel reserve.

True. 300 AAC would fit. But as Phish pointed out to my goofy butt, iit wouldn't cycle. But, try a 6.8, and you would get a pinched shoulder. Mic that bore, if you have one, and get your answer.

Sorry, didn't mean to come across as rude. I've had quite a bit of heat too... 96 degrees and 90% humidity all day!

Dude, I'm giving you grief! If I'd had thought my comment out, you wouldn't have to school me!Sorry, didn't mean to come across as rude. I've had quite a bit of heat too... 96 degrees and 90% humidity all day!
Gotcha beat though. St Louis, high as of 3pm was 107 degrees, 20% humidity. Oof.
Watcha think, 6.8? Looks plausible, but I hope he mics it.

How much?
Ouch. I hope you have air conditioning, for your sake.

Mic and a chamber cast, unless he finds the caliber near the receiver extension (or whatever it's called).

I think it has to be a 6.5 Lee Navy!

To give credit where it's due, I was beaten to the punch a bit on the 6.8...Ok. I looked up dimensions. I'd bet that animator is right, and that it's 6.8 SPC. Case length of 43 mm is damn close.

I had just skimmed the thread, saw the pic, and typed a reply before seeing that it was posted a few above me as well...
I have some 6.8 brass at home that I could run through a .223 chamber to see if I can get anything similar to happen.

Y'know what, I'm changing my vote to this... It's rc, after all!

Boy, I'd be pissed if I bought a .223 and ended up getting a 6.8. I think a call to that pawn shop is in order, and if they don't do right by you, flame like crazy. It is the seller's responsibility to properly determine chambering or tell prosepective buyers that they are unsure.

I'll be here too, Floorit.
I will be contacting them. If nothing more than to see if they can check their records for contact info on the previous owner. They had good, but not a tremendous amount, of feedback. I doubt that I will get anyone till monday, but I will try tomorrow morning.

I know I've posted here alot, but, if I may give you another idea?
Have a buddy that shoots 6.8? Try to chamber a round at the range.
If not, the I was thinking it would be hard to mic the barrel, unless you remove the flash hider. I'd get an I.D of that barrel to get an idea. 6.8 vs 556 is a substantial difference in thousandths.
