Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 418:
Description
This lot consists of three boxes of Aguila Ammunition 12-gauge Minishell rifled lead slugs, containing a verified total of 59 rounds. These specialty short-shell cartridges feature a 1.75-inch (approx. 45mm) translucent red ribbed plastic hull with a high-brass-colored metal base. Each shell is loaded with a single 25-gram (7/8 oz) lead slug projectile seated at the mouth. Developed for high capacity in tube-fed shotguns and reduced recoil, these shells are rated for a muzzle velocity of 1,250 feet per second (381 m/s). The rectangular black and orange packaging is prominently marked with the Aguila logo, “MINISHELL,” and “LEAD SLUG / Slug de Plomo.” Side labeling specifies the 12-gauge chambering and the 1250 fps velocity. Individual price stickers from a previous retailer are present on the boxes. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in live, original condition. The translucent red plastic hulls are clean, and the brass-colored bases show bright finish with only minor shelf-wear scuffs. The lead slug projectiles exhibit some minor oxidation consistent with storage. The cardboard packaging shows moderate shelf wear, including crushed corners, edge fraying, and some small tears to the tuck flaps. One box is partially open.
