Description

This lot consists of a collection of 80 rounds of .223 Remington centerfire rifle ammunition manufactured by Remington UMC. The ammunition is organized into four original two-piece cardboard boxes, each containing a verified count of 20 rounds held within black plastic internal trays. These cartridges feature brass casings and 55-grain metal case (MC) full metal jacket projectiles, a configuration designed for high-volume target shooting and training applications. Verbatim box markings include Remington UMC, 223 REMINGTON, 55 GR. MC L223R3, and MADE IN U.S.A. with a star logo. Warning labels in English and French are present on the upper panels. Visible headstamps on the cartridge bases are stamped R – P 223 REM, identifying Remington-Peters manufacture. The green and white packaging design and labeling are consistent with late 20th-century commercial production.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in very good, shootable condition. The brass casings are clean and exhibit a bright finish with minimal tarnishing or oxidation. Primers are seated correctly and free of corrosion. The cardboard boxes show minor shelf wear, including light scuffing at the corners and edges, but remain structurally sound with all flaps intact. The internal plastic trays are in good condition.
