Description

This lot consists of a collection of 200 rounds of Winchester Win3Gun 5.56mm centerfire rifle ammunition. The ammunition is divided into ten retail cardboard boxes, each designed to hold 20 cartridges. These specific loads feature a 55-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullet, intended for high-volume shooting and competition use, as indicated by the Winchester “Win3Gun” and “THREE GUN” branding on the packaging. The cartridges are brass-cased and feature primers that appear to be sealed.

The silver-toned retail boxes bear the red Winchester logo with a horse-and-rider silhouette and are marked “MADE IN USA” with a small American flag icon. The end flaps of the inner cardboard sleeves carry the printed code “HL31 1698”. Visible cartridge headstamps are marked “W C C 1 3” surrounding the primer, consistent with Winchester Cartridge Company production from 2013. The packaging includes bilingual warning text in English and French.


Condition report:

The ammunition and packaging are in very good overall condition. The cardboard boxes show minor shelf wear and light creasing at the corners and edges (photo 1). One box displays a small puncture or tear on the top right edge (photo 2). The visible brass casings exhibit standard factory annealing coloration near the case neck, which is a common byproduct of the manufacturing process and not a defect. The primers and projectiles appear clean with no visible signs of corrosion or significant tarnishing (photo 3).
