I wouldn't chance it, the difference between .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO is 20,000 psi of chamber pressure. With the 100 being a collector piece, I wouldn't take the risk of blowing the chamber or any other catastrophic failure. The NATO rounds have considerably more chamber pressure than the SAAMI rounds.
