Description

This lot consists of 100 rounds of centerfire rifle ammunition, specifically 5.56x45mm NATO caliber cartridges commonly referred to as .223/5.56 ammo. The cartridges are configured with boxer-primed brass cases and full metal jacket projectiles, suitable for training or target practice. Key markings transcribed verbatim from the headstamps include LC 12 and LC 13, which identify the manufacturer as the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant with production dates in 2012 and 2013. The ammunition is presented as a loose bulk group in a clear plastic zip-top bag and appears consistent with standard military-specification ball ammunition.


Condition report:

The ammunition is in good condition, showing some surface tarnishing and minor handling marks consistent with bulk storage. The brass cases remain structurally sound with no evidence of significant corrosion or mechanical damage. The primers are intact, appear to be live, and are properly seated in the primer pockets. Projectiles show a clean finish with minimal oxidation.
