Lot 1051:
Norinco China Sports .223 Remington 55 Grain FMJ Centerfire Rifle Ammunition 60 Rounds
Description
This lot consists of a collection of 60 rounds of Norinco China Sports .223 Remington centerfire rifle ammunition, professionally organized into three original 20-round cardboard folding cartons. Each box contains 55-grain full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets designed for target and sporting applications. The cartridges feature boxer-primed, non-corrosive, reloadable brass cases with visible sealant at the case mouths and primer pockets. Prominent markings on the packaging include the Norinco China Sports branding and specific technical load data. Examination of the individual cartridges reveals headstamps with the letters C and J at the 12 o’clock position and the numbers 9 and 2 at the 6 o’clock position, indicating a 1992 production year at China Sports (Factory 296). This vintage Chinese export ammunition is consistent with pre-ban imports from the late 20th century.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in live, original condition with the brass cases displaying a natural factory finish and some minor age-appropriate tarnishing. The copper jackets on the 55-grain FMJ projectiles are clean and free of significant oxidation. The three original cardboard boxes show moderate shelf wear, including minor edge fraying, creasing, and small tears at the corner flaps. One box features a yellow circular sticker with a handwritten number. Overall, the packaging remains structurally sound and retains clear, legible factory graphics and text.
