Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 553:
Description
This lot consists of 450 rounds of Remington Thunderbolt brand .22 Long Rifle rimfire ammunition. These high-speed cartridges feature 40-grain lead round-nose bullets with a waxy lubricant coating, seated in brass cases. The ammunition is packaged in individual 50-round cardboard boxes, which are housed in a larger green bulk brick box. Visible markings on the packaging include Remington 22 Thunderbolt, 22 Long Rifle Hi-Speed, 500 Rimfire Cartridges, TB-22A, New Round Nose Bullet Profile, and Made in the U.S.A. Each brass case is marked with an Rem headstamp on the base. While the outer bulk box is original and indicates a quantity of 500, this lot contains a verified total of 450 rounds, indicating one 50-round box is missing from the full brick.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in clean, well-preserved, and live condition. The brass cases show no significant signs of corrosion or oxidation, and the lead round-nose projectiles maintain their original lubricant coating. The cardboard packaging exhibits typical shelf wear consistent with age, including minor fraying at the edges, slight crushing of the corners, and light surface abrasions to the green and white printed graphics on both the outer brick and inner boxes.
