is 223 & 308 restricted?

Post by KDS991213 » Wed Mar 03, 2021 10:34 pm

So i was wondering if 223 & 308 are restricted? The arms act of 2016 restricts 7.62x51 & 5.56x45. However 308 & 223 are slightly different than those 2 rounds. So are they restricted or not?

KDS991213, did you use the search function before you posted? Your question has come up here many times and has been answered many times. I searched for "PB 308" and came up with the following results on the first page alone:
