The only .223 (5.56) that I've stayed away from (up to this point) is the South African "Battle Packs" for their amount of misfires. That tends to be problematic in full-auto fire.

Have you had any problems with those GlockMeister ... or have they "fixed" that problem?

No Larry, I haven't a problem one nor has anyone else I've spoken to about them. But then these battle packs are of the Yugoslavian origin and according to the description and what I could confirm when I opened my first batch, they have the Yugoslavian headstamp. This one here to save you some time, check the description. Not the South African stuff you mentioned. >

The Yugo stuff is good ... it's the South African stuff that I've found to be full of misfires. I'm not even sure if the SA stuff is still available. I'd buy a Yugo "battle pack" any day...

I didn't specify where these "battle packs" can be purchased, I simply warned against them for full-auto use given the number of misfires.
