Description

This lot consists of 100 rounds of 7.62mm caliber ammunition manufactured by the Western Cartridge Company (WCC). The cartridges are organized into five white cardboard folding boxes, each containing 20 cartridges. The packaging features a blue and red printed logo reading MADE IN USA encircled by stars, along with the text 20 CARTRIDGES, CAL. 7.62mm, and 147 GR. BALL. Several boxes bear the product code Q3130 on the lower right corner. The ammunition consists of brass-cased cartridges with copper-jacketed projectiles. The headstamps on the base of the cartridges are stamped W C C 9 0 or W C C 9 1, indicating production at the Western Cartridge Company facility in 1990 or 1991. The brass cases show visible factory-applied annealing at the neck and shoulder, consistent with military-specification production standards.


Condition report:

The packaging shows minor shelf wear, including light edge rubbing and small surface stains on the white cardboard (photos 1 and 2). One box shows a slight indentation on the top surface (photo 2).
