Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1351:
Description
This lot consists of a group of four 20-round boxes of Norinco Chinasports .223 Remington rifle ammunition, providing a verified total of 80 rounds. The cartridges feature 55-grain full metal jacket (FMJ) projectiles seated in Boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases. The packaging prominently displays the gold Norinco brand name and the Chinasports trade name, designating the ammunition as non-corrosive. Markings on the boxes include the caliber designation .223 REM and technical specifications stating Boxer Primed, Brass Case, Non-Corrosive, and Reloadable. These cartridges were manufactured in China during the late 20th century for commercial export. One loose cartridge is present for visual reference, displaying a standard FMJ profile and typical brass construction.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, shootable condition. The brass cartridge cases show varying degrees of surface tarnishing and natural oxidation consistent with age. The full metal jacket projectiles remain securely seated. The cardboard boxes exhibit minor shelf wear including light edge fraying and corner rounding but remain structurally sound and intact with legible factory graphics. The ammunition is sold as-is for collector or sporting use.
