Description

This lot features a collection of approximately 600 rounds of .22 caliber rimfire ammunition manufactured by Industrias Tecnos S.A. de C.V. in Cuernavaca, Mexico, under the Aguila Ammunition brand. The assembly includes one large 500-round brick of .22 Long Rifle Subsonic Solid Point cartridges, specified with 40-grain lead projectiles and “Aguila PRIME” branding. Also included are two individual 50-count boxes of .22 Colibrí ammunition, featuring 20-grain lead bullets with a specialized subsonic velocity of 420 FPS. The cartridges utilize brass cases with an embossed hummingbird logo on the headstamp, a signature mark of the Aguila line. The packaging includes trilingual text in English, Spanish, and French, with prominent markings such as “Aguila AMMUNITION,” “Bala de Plomo / LEAD BULLET,” and “HECHO EN MÉXICO / MADE IN MEXICO / FABRIQUÉ AU MÉXIQUE.” The manufacturer’s address is listed as Km. 6 Carretera Cuernavaca Tepoztlan, Cuernavaca, Mor. Mexico. This ammunition is designed for quiet operation, particularly the ultra-low velocity Colibrí rounds which function without gunpowder, relying solely on the primer for propulsion. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition cartridges appear to be in good, live condition with clean brass cases and lead projectiles showing typical factory lubrication. One plastic tray from a Colibrí box is missing a single cartridge, leaving 49 present in that tray. The original retail cardboard packaging shows visible shelf wear, including creases, blunted corners, and some tearing to the flaps and edges of the 500-round brick box. The internal plastic trays are intact.
