A Lot of 100 Rounds of Civilian Marksmanship Program .30-06 Springfield FMJ Ball Ammunition 1969
Sold for: $120
Description
This lot consists of 100 rounds of .30-06 Springfield FMJ Ball military surplus ammunition, distributed through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). The ammunition is organized into five individual brown cardboard boxes, each containing 20 cartridges. The packaging prominently features the circular CMP seal with an eagle crest and text specifying 20 Cartridges and 30-06 FMJ BALL. Markings on the inner flap of the box specify that these cartridges are surplus military ammunition released by the United States Army for sale to CMP-affiliated organizations and individuals pursuant to Title 36, U.S. Code, Chapter 407. The ammunition comprises brass-cased cartridges with copper-jacketed projectiles and red-sealed primers. Verbatim transcription of the headstamps on the visible cartridges shows the markings L C and 6 9, indicating production by the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in 1969. This ammunition was manufactured to military specifications and is commonly used in vintage service rifles such as the M1 Garand and M1903 Springfield.
Condition report:
The ammunition and its original packaging are in well-preserved surplus condition. The five cardboard boxes exhibit minor shelf wear, light edge scuffing, and occasional small creases, but all printed text and the CMP seal remain clear and fully legible. The cartridges show clean brass cases with light, natural surface oxidation consistent with age and long-term military surplus storage. The copper-jacketed bullets are secure, and the red primer sealant is intact. The ammunition appears to be live.
