I have a Colt CAR-15 that has the reciever marked '.223'

It says 'COLT CAR-15 Gov't Carbine .223'

This is an older gun that was purchased in 1990. Do you know if it is ok to fire 5.56 through it? I am pretty sure I have with no issues. I know that guns marked 5.56 fire both 5.56 and .223

What do you think an original CAR-15 in excellent condition is worth?
