Description

This lot comprises approximately 130 rounds of .300 AAC Blackout centerfire rifle ammunition housed in a used metal military-style ammunition can. The ammunition can features an olive drab exterior finish with a top-mounted folding carry handle and a secure side latch. Handwritten notations in black permanent marker on the lid specify 300 BLKOUT SUB-SONIC, indicating the rounds are intended for subsonic performance. The collection includes a diverse mixture of casing types, with both brass and nickel-plated or steel examples present, alongside various projectile configurations including open-tip match (OTM) and polymer-tipped bullets. A significant portion of the cartridges exhibit heavy oxidation, corrosion, and green verdigris, particularly affecting the casing bodies and projectile jackets. The interior of the canister also displays signs of corrosion and residue consistent with long-term storage under suboptimal conditions. The external surfaces of the can show moderate wear, scuffs, and small spots of surface rust localized on the handle and hinges. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition and storage canister are in poor to fair condition. A high percentage of the cartridges show advanced surface corrosion, heavy oxidation, and verdigris, which may affect chambering or performance. The ammunition is sold as-is for components or historical interest; users should exercise extreme caution and professionally inspect any rounds before attempted use. The metal canister shows external finish wear, scuffs, and surface rust on the mechanical hardware, with corrosion visible on the interior floor.
