Description

This lot consists of a bulk collection of 200 rounds of M855 5.56x45mm NATO centerfire rifle ammunition. These cartridges feature 62 grain full metal jacket spitzer projectiles with a steel penetrator core, identified by the distinctive green-painted tips consistent with SS109 specifications. The ammunition is housed in brass casings that display clear annealing marks at the necks and shoulders, indicative of military-grade production standards. Visible headstamps include markings such as LC for Lake City Army Ammunition Plant and numerical date codes including 14 and 15, placing the production of these specific components in the 2014 to 2015 period. This ammunition is a staple for modern sporting rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO and is highly regarded for its penetration capabilities and consistent performance in bulk storage configurations. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in good overall condition. The brass casings show varying degrees of surface oxidation, tarnish, and minor scuffing typical of bulk loose storage. The green tip paint is largely intact across the lot, though some minor flaking is present on individual projectiles. All rounds appear to be live and factory-loaded; however, as with all surplus or bulk ammunition, they should be inspected for defects prior to use.
