Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 467:
Description
This lot consists of a pair of IMR 3031 smokeless powder containers, each with a net weight of 1 lb (454 g). The containers are black plastic bottles featuring red and white labels with the prominent IMR logo. Label markings identify the contents as IMR 3031 Smokeless Powder and include the mandatory warning “DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.” This specific medium-burn rate rifle powder is historically significant for its versatility in a wide range of cartridges, particularly medium-capacity rifle calibers. The red screw-top metal lids are present on both bottles. These containers represent a staple component for firearm reloading enthusiasts. Note – As ammunition components, these items do not require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The black plastic containers are in good physical condition with no visible leaks or structural damage. The red and white labels show minor surface wear, slight bubbling, and edge scuffing consistent with age and storage. The red metal screw-top lids remain intact with some light finish wear. The powder appears to be in its original retail packaging; however, the internal seals have not been verified, and the chemical stability or performance of the powder has not been tested.
