Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1250:
Description
This lot consists of approximately 18 lbs of spent brass cartridge casings primarily chambered in .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO, suitable for reloading purposes. The bulk collection features a variety of commercial and military headstamps, including examples marked PPU 07 5.56×45 with the NATO cross symbol, as well as USA 223 REM. The casings are loosely packed and show typical visual indicators of once-fired brass, such as carbon fouling at the necks and spent primers remaining in the primer pockets. While the exact count of individual pieces is not provided due to the volume, the weight suggests a significant quantity of several hundred casings for processing. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The brass casings are in spent, once-fired condition. Visible surface characteristics include typical carbon residue at the case mouths and necks, along with minor surface tarnish and handling marks consistent with bulk storage. The primers remain seated and appear spent. The brass is generally bright with no significant corrosion or crushing noted, though individual case inspection is recommended before reloading.
