Description

This lot consists of a collection of 100 rounds of Norinco brand .223 Remington centerfire rifle ammunition, presented in five individual 20-round boxes. The cartridges feature 55-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) projectiles and are loaded into Boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases. The packaging reflects the China Sports branding used during the period of Norinco imports into the United States, specifically marketed as non-corrosive sporting ammunition. Key markings on the boxes include the manufacturer designation NORINCO, the CHINASPORTS brand name, and the caliber specification .223 REM. The packaging also notes technical specifications including non-corrosive primers and brass casings. These rounds represent a verified total of 100 cartridges based on the five 20-round folding cardboard cartons provided.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in good, live condition with no significant corrosion visible on the brass casings. The cardboard boxes show moderate shelf wear, including scuffing, edge wear, and minor crushing to the corners. Some light staining and surface abrasions are present on the printed surfaces of the packaging, but all technical information remains legible.
