.223, but you can also consider 9mm if you want to get away from the standard AR platform. I've been looking at carbines as well, and the upside to 9mm is even less of a cost.

I think you want the AR chambered for 556 if I recall (think that's right) as you can shoot 223 ammo, and it's better for the gun if it's basis is a 556. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, you can also convert an AR to a .22 platform for practice with the weapon and even further savings on ammo.

Yep, pretty much the reason I chose it. I love the look of the wood laminate stocks over synthetic, plus the thumbhole stock, and the adjustable cheek riser and butt plate made it an easy decision. I know you can get these aftermarket, it was just nice that it came this way from CZ.

Correct. If it's chambered for 5.56 NATO then you can also shoot .223, but not really recommended the other way around.
