Description

This lot consists of a group of centerfire rifle ammunition boxes containing a verified total of 200 rounds of Winchester Western Target brand 5.56mm ammunition. The ammunition is housed in ten individual cardboard folding cartons, each with an original 20-round capacity. The white packaging features the red Winchester signature logo and a graphic of a cowboy on a galloping horse, with a prominent grey script reading Western and a Target designation. The ammunition is identified as 5.56mm 55-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ). One box is shown open, revealing a black plastic spacer holding twenty cartridges. The cartridges feature brass casings with headstamps marked WCC 14, indicating manufacture at the Western Cartridge Company in 2014. The primers are circular with a visible purple sealant. A single cartridge displays a copper-jacketed projectile and visible annealing marks near the brass case shoulder, consistent with factory production standards for 5.56x45mm NATO-spec ammunition. The bottom of one box is stamped with a black ink alphanumeric code reading HD61 2854. The packaging includes bilingual warning text in English and French and is marked MADE IN USA.


Condition report:

The ammunition and packaging are in very good factory condition overall. The cardboard boxes show minor edge wear and light scuffing at the corners consistent with storage (photo 1). The brass casings and copper-jacketed projectiles appear clean and free of significant oxidation (photo 3). The plastic spacers and internal cardboard flaps are intact. No missing rounds or major structural damage to the boxes are visible in the supplied photographs.
