Description

This lot features a bulk pack of 500 rounds of Remington 22 Thunderbolt ammunition. These are .22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridges configured with 40-grain lead round-nose bullets designed for high-velocity performance. The cartridges feature brass cases, and the visible headstamps bear a stylized impressed “R” mark on the base, identifying the manufacturer as Remington.

The ammunition is housed in its original green and white cardboard box, which features a distinctive lightning bolt graphic. The front and side panels are clearly printed with the Remington logo and product specifications, including the “TB22A” product code. A bilingual warning label in English and French reads: “Warning: Keep Out of Reach of Children / Cartouches A Percussion Latérale Mise En Garde: Gardez Hors De La Portée Des Enfants.” This vintage-style packaging is a recognizable example of Remington’s Thunderbolt line branding.


Condition report:

The original cardboard packaging shows visible wear consistent with age and storage. Visible defects include soft corners and edge fraying (photo 1), creasing along the top and side panels (photo 2), and minor tearing at the tuck flaps (photo 1). The internal cartridges appear bright with no significant oxidation or corrosion visible on the brass cases or lead bullets (photo 3).
