Description

This lot consists of a collection of 250 pieces of mixed-caliber, once-fired empty ammunition brass casings, appearing as range pickup material suitable for reloading or crafting purposes. The assortment includes a variety of bottlenecked rifle cases and straight-walled pistol or carbine cases. Notable visible headstamps identify several manufacturers and chamberings, including Remington-UMC .30-06 Springfield (marked REM-UMC 30-06 SPRG), Federal Cartridge .30-06 (marked FC 30-06), Winchester Repeating Arms .300 (marked WRA 300), and Hornady. The collection is primarily composed of yellow brass, with at least one nickel-plated casing present. Most casings retain their spent primers, while some appear to be de-primed. Carbon fouling is present at the necks of the fired rifle cases, and various pieces exhibit surface oxidation, tarnish, and minor scratches consistent with previous use. The items are contained within a translucent plastic storage box. Note – As ammunition components and not functional firearms, this item does not require a background check.


Condition report:

The metal surfaces exhibit varying degrees of surface oxidation, tarnish, and carbon fouling, particularly around the necks and primer pockets. Minor surface scratches and dings are present throughout the lot. All casings are empty and inert, consisting of brass and nickel-plated brass shells with spent primers or empty primer pockets.
