Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1203:
Description
This lot consists of a stripped upper and lower receiver set for a Remington R-15 VTR semi-automatic rifle, chambered for .223 Remington. These components are factory-finished in an Advantage MAX-1 green and tan camouflage pattern. The lower receiver features a raised Remington logo and model information on the left side of the magazine well, identifying the item as a Model R-15 produced in Ilion, NY, with the serial number R15000897. A square data matrix code is also visible below the manufacturer name. The right side of the magazine well is prominently marked with the R-15 VTR model designation in white. The upper receiver is equipped with an integral Picatinny rail for optics mounting and a “MAX-1” logo on the left side. Both pieces are currently held together by a plastic cable tie. This set is missing all internal fire control components, the bolt carrier group, charging handle, pistol grip, and buffer tube assembly. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The receiver set shows signs of light to moderate use, with visible thinning and wear to the camouflage finish along the sharp edges of the Picatinny rail, the forward assist housing, and the magazine well. The threaded areas for the barrel nut and buffer tube show minor finish loss consistent with assembly and disassembly. The internal surfaces appear clean with no signs of structural damage. The action and bore condition cannot be assessed as this is a stripped receiver set lacking a barrel and internal parts. Mechanical function has not been independently verified.
