Description

This lot consists of a collection of 120 rounds of TulAmmo .223 Remington ammunition, organized into six individual boxes of 20 cartridges each. The ammunition features 55 grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullets with distinctive grey polymer-coated steel cases. Two of the boxes are marked as Boxer primed, while the remaining four are marked as Berdan primed, providing a mix of primer types within the group. The packaging is the standard black TulAmmo cardboard folding box with red and yellow graphics. Visible markings on the boxes include the TulAmmo logo, “.223 Rem”, “55 GR. FMJ”, “STEEL CASE”, “NON-CORROSIVE”, and “Made in Russia”. The manufacturer is identified on the reverse as OJSC “The Tula Cartridge Works”. An interior flap on the open box displays blue hand-stamped markings: “LOT № P488-13”, “6A-11”, and “20”. The cartridges themselves bear “TulAmmo” and “.223 Rem” headstamps. Safety warnings in both English and French are printed on the back of each box.


Condition report:

The ammunition and packaging appear in good, unused condition. The cardboard boxes show minor edge wear and light scuffing consistent with handling and storage, particularly visible on the corners and edges (photo 1). The steel cases show a uniform grey finish with no signs of significant corrosion or oxidation (photo 2). The copper-jacketed projectiles appear clean and free of deformation. No major structural damage is visible on any of the six boxes.
