Is 5.56 caliber or MM in EFA-10

[j4eric]

newbie here, trying to register via EFA-10.....do i put caliber or MM for a 5.56

 

[pastera]

Put in whatever it is currently configured for.
The registry is for transfer not possession so it is what the item is at the time of acquisition or manufacturer (you made it)

I think he’s asking if the UOM for 5.56 is mm or caliber. It’s mm.

yes , what is the unit of measure for a 5.56.....thanks for the answer....MM it is

If it was caliber you'd be talkin artillery...

6 inch guns.

The UOM could be ounces, too:

Usually millimeters is written as mm (lowercase) but in ammo it is mostly shown in caps. 5.56mm

 

[appraiser]

"multi"

as you can put a dozen different uppers on it

 

[StevieP]

Put it exactly as the lower reads.

Mine are from stripped lowers and say 'MULTI CAL'

The spent brass has been used to make key blanks for many decades used by hardware stores.

You're doing efa10s for stripped lowers?

Like where your head is at... the execution of announcing it in a public forum though

F for execution

Definitely mm, but if you look at the database post by the AG's office, 556 is used all sorts of ways:

556
556mm
556cal
5.56
5.56mm
5.56cal
556 nato
5.56 nato
223/556 cal
223/556 mm

Honestly, its part of the portal that doesn't make a lot of sense.
I get what the data is trying to do, but it's probably not helpful for anything. If I were going to improve on the model, I'd just ask for the internal diameter in MM of the barrel or toss the whole question.

Again -- what does the lower say?

You could register a dildo in there, no one is looking
