I'm considering a RRA upper assembly for full auto use. But I've read RRA chambers are .223/5.56, not full 5.56 NATO. Do they run with no problems in FA or does the chamber need to be reamed to 5.56 spec? Thanks.

5.56 is NATO so its fine no reaming needed.  It will be fine I use my RRA upper in full auto all the time. You just need to get a full auto carrier.

The upper actually comes with a FA BCG but I'll be using my SP1 carrier with my RLL. From what I understand, the RRA .223/5.56 chamber is a little tighter than full 5.56 NATO. But your's is the kind of real-world feedback I'm looking for.  I suspect this is like asking if M4 cuts are necessary. Thanks!

Really your RRA upper came with a full auto carrier. If so thats great I have 4 RRAs . 2 I use (both semi carriers) and 2 newer ones just sitting in the safe. I will check them outwhen I get home to see if they have FA carriers.  I am builing up 2 M16s lowers and need FA carriers.

No no...  It's an upper on the equipment exchange that includes an LMT FA carrier and a DD rail that I was considering buying.  Had to pass on it 'cause a good deal on a 7.62x39 upper came up and I already have a 5.56 NATO Bushy upper.  Sorry for the misunderstanding.
