Description

A substantial lot of spent rifle cartridge casings, identified by weight and user-provided facts as approximately 20 lbs of empty .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO equivalent) brass. These bottlenecked casings are intended for use as reloading components, commonly referred to as range brass.

The casings are fired and require cleaning, sizing, and primer pocket preparation before being suitable for reloading.

Condition report:

The firearm is in fair to good overall condition, displaying significant evidence of use and handling wear consistent with a field gun. The blued finish shows substantial loss, scratching, and thinning across the receiver and barrel, with visible areas of light surface rust and patina, particularly around the ejection port and on the ventilated rib structure. The wood buttstock retains a high-gloss finish but exhibits numerous scratches, dings, and handling marks. The checkered forend appears darker and more heavily used, showing wear and minor compression marks. The action appears to cycle correctly, but we have not function-tested this firearm. The bore condition is unknown without a direct inspection. It is the buyer\'s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
