This is a 5.56 chambered REECE 1:8 AR....and the round was actually a .223

I grabbed a couple tracers in 5.56 that I have and did the same test - same results.

I can drop the rounds into the chamber with the bolt locked back and they slide in perfectly - and tipping the weapon up they fall out without any extraction necessary.
