Description

This lot consists of a verified quantity of 300 loose rounds of centerfire rifle ammunition, primarily chambered in 5.56 NATO with some .223 Remington cartridges included. The collection features brass-cased cartridges with copper-jacketed projectiles, including standard lead core and visible green-tipped M855 steel core penetrator variants. Extensive headstamp variety is present; visible markings include Lake City markings with the letters L and C, the numbers 1 and 3, and the NATO circled cross symbol indicating 2013 military production. Other prominent headstamps include GGG 5.56 from Giraites Ginkluotes Gamykla of Lithuania and PMC 223 REM from Precision Made Cartridges. Several cartridges display visible annealing marks on the case neck and shoulder, a characteristic feature of military-specification manufacturing processes. The ammunition is presented loose in a clear plastic container. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in good, clean condition. The brass casings are generally bright with minor surface tarnish and light handling marks consistent with bulk storage. Projectiles are securely seated. No significant corrosion, verdigris, or structural damage was observed on the visible rounds. The ammunition appears to be live and functional, though mechanical testing of primers and powder was not performed.
