I never knew this ? So there were RL’s without the ebony tip???

I’ve been looking for a 223 RL for years!!!!! Still want. Still looking to buy one.

quote=TATELAW]The easiest way to tell if it's an Ultralight is to see where the cartridge is stamped on the barrel. If it's stamped right next to the action, it's a standard rifle that has been cut. If it's stamped 4-5 inches down the barrel, it's an Ultralight. I have a first production year MarkII Ultralight in 223 that does not have the black tip, but I've been told that's standard on the 223Rem models. All other models should have the black tip from what I have been told.
