I personally haven't had a problem shooting foreign manufactured ammunition although I have never fired Malaysian ammo. If you are purchasing it through a reputable source (Centerfire Systems or other large distributor) you are likely safe although there are no guarantees in life.

What is the difference between 223 ammo and 556MM ammo?
While they are similar, the cartridges are not the same, with slight differences in the shoulder angle, length of neck. It is safe to fire .223 in a weapon chambered for 5.56, but 5.56 ammo in a weapon chambered for .223 may NOT be safe.

Can 5.56 ammo be fired safely from a colt ar 15 rifle?
Depends. What is the caliber of the AR-15 rifle? If it marked 5.56, yes. If it marked .223, no. While you MAY fire 5.56x45 ammo in a .223, they are NOT the identical cartridge, and it is not a good (or safe) practice. .223 ammo can be safely fired in a rifle chambered in 5.56 mm. The 5.56 chamber is cut a bit longer than .223 to help insure operations in the field in the presence of dirt, etc. 5.56 NATO ammo is also loaded to a higher pressure than .223. So- to recap- 5.56 in a .223- NO. .223 in a 5.56- yes.
