Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1288:
Description
This lot consists of a total of 600 rounds of 22 Long Rifle ammunition manufactured by CCI. The ammunition is divided into two 300-round cardboard boxes. Each box is identified by the manufacturer as AR Tactical, intended for use in modern sporting rifle platforms. The cartridges feature 40 grain copper-plated round nose (CPRN) bullets, which are designed for reliable feeding and consistent performance. Technical specifications printed on the packaging indicate a muzzle velocity of 1200 FPS (feet per second).
The ammunition is housed in brass rimfire casings. Visible cartridges show copper-plated lead bullets with three distinct knurled bands on the bearing surface. The internal packaging consists of clear plastic grid organizers that keep the rounds vertically aligned. The blue and silver cardboard boxes feature the CCI logo, the AR Tactical branding with a rifle silhouette, and a red V logo.
Condition report:
The ammunition itself shows no visible signs of corrosion or structural damage in the provided photographs. The outer cardboard packaging shows signs of moderate shelf wear and age. This includes scuffing and surface abrasions on the printed faces (photo 1), edge crushing and soft corners (photo 1), and a significant area of surface loss on the right-hand box where a price tag was previously removed (photo 1). The boxes remain structurally intact, though they exhibit general soiling and localized staining consistent with storage (photo 2).
