Lake City and Federal 7.62x51mm NATO Ammunition Lot of 60 Rounds
Description
This lot consists of a verified total of 60 rounds of 7.62x51mm NATO centerfire rifle ammunition. The collection features 20 rounds of M118 Special Ball ammunition housed in a brown cardboard box with Lake City markings. This box is specifically labeled 20 CRTG. 7.62 MM, SPECIAL BALL M118, and bears the lot stamp LC-91C195-016, indicating 1991 production at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant. The M118 load was traditionally utilized as match-grade ammunition for sniper and precision rifle platforms. Also included are 40 rounds of Federal brand cartridges in a white commercial folding carton labeled BPXM80CBL. These cartridges are identified as 150-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) loads. An inspection of the loose cartridges within the Federal box reveals brass casings with copper-jacketed projectiles and visible headstamps marked F C 1 2, indicating Federal Cartridge manufacture in 2012. The ammunition is professionally packaged and retains its original period labeling and configuration. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in very good, serviceable condition with no significant corrosion visible on the brass casings or copper jackets. The Lake City box shows minor shelf wear, creasing, and light staining consistent with its 1991 production era but remains structurally sound and fully intact. The Federal box exhibits some minor handling wear and edge scuffs but preserves all printed technical information. The cartridges appear to be live and factory-loaded.
