Lot 361:
Remington 22 Target Standard Velocity 500 Round Brick .22 LR Ammunition
Description
This lot features a vintage bulk 500-round brick of Remington 22 Target Standard Velocity .22 Long Rifle ammunition. The brick contains ten individual 50-round cardboard boxes. The packaging features the classic green and blue Remington color scheme from the mid-20th century, with the outer brick specifically marked with product number 6122. Individual boxes are labeled “22 Target,” “50 RIM FIRE CARTRIDGES,” and “KLEANBORE PRIMING,” noting the non-corrosive primer technology Remington introduced to prevent barrel fouling. A representative individual box reveals 50 cartridges arranged in an alternating head-to-bullet pattern to ensure proper fit within the cardboard sleeve. The lead bullets feature a wax lubricant coating. Each brass casing is marked with a distinctive “U” headstamp, a historical hallmark of the Union Metallic Cartridge Company (UMC), which Remington acquired. The packaging includes the necessary “KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN” safety warning and identifies the manufacturer as Remington Arms Company, Inc. based in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Condition report:
The cardboard packaging exhibits significant shelf wear consistent with age, including rounded corners, surface scuffing, edge fraying, and minor tearing at the flaps. The green and blue printed graphics remain legible despite scattered finish loss and handling marks. The internal cartridges appear in good condition; the brass casings show a natural aged patina without significant corrosion. The lead bullets exhibit some white oxidation and typical wax lubricant buildup from long-term storage. The lot appears to be complete with 500 total rounds, though mechanical function of vintage ammunition cannot be guaranteed.
