Thanks all. I guess I won't worry about it then. And I won't waste my money on a FF kit for .223. (I might try it anyway with my .44-cal Marlin rifle. In general, I've read great things about the FF treatment.)

As I said this is not going to be a match rifle. For velocity I want to stick with a 20" barrel, and for weight savings I want the Gov't profile. It's got the A1 style upper with iron sights and for now, a simple CMO Elite 4x scope attached to the carry handle. And I will probably stick mostly with 55gr FMJs for the economy of it.
