Lot 1141:
200 Rounds of Winchester M855 5.56x45mm NATO Ammunition 62 Grain Green Tip
Description
This lot contains a verified total of 200 rounds of 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition, specifically the M855 “Green Tip” ball cartridge variant. These cartridges are loaded with a 62-grain full metal jacket projectile featuring a lead core with a seven-grain steel penetrator at the tip, designed for enhanced penetration through hard targets. The ammunition is housed in brass casings, many of which display visible Lake City Army Ammunition Plant markings including the “L C” manufacturer code alongside NATO cross-in-circle proof marks and two-digit year codes such as “13” and “17”, indicating production in 2013 and 2017 respectively. The casings show distinctive annealing marks near the case neck, a characteristic of military-grade production where the brass is heat-treated for durability. This bulk lot of loose ammunition is consistent with standard military and law enforcement training specifications for use in 5.56 NATO chambered rifles.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, functional condition. The brass casings show typical discoloration, light surface oxidation, and handling wear consistent with bulk storage. The green paint on the projectile tips is largely intact, though some minor chipping or thinning is visible on individual rounds. The primers are seated correctly and the cases show no signs of major corrosion, structural damage, or deep pitting.
