With a stripped .223 lower what other caliber's would I be able to use it on?
IE 9mm, 45acp, 6.8, 7.62x39

Thanks

I don't know for sure, but I believe that is exactly why some lowers are now marked in the caliber they are intended for.  And some others aren't labeled with a caliber at all.

Not exactly.


Some are labled "multi" because it is slick marketing.

Others are labeled 6.8, 9mm, or .22, etc. because it is also ingenious marketing.
