Lot 581:
Mixed Headstamp Once Fired .223 Remington and 5.56mm Brass Casing Collection 26 Lbs
Description
This lot consists of a bulk collection of spent brass cartridge casings totaling approximately 26 lbs, primarily chambered in .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO. The brass exhibits a mix of commercial and military surplus sources suitable for reloading or crafting purposes. Key markings identified on visible case heads include PPU .223 REM from Prvi Partizan, LC 12 with the NATO cross symbol indicating Lake City Army Ammunition Plant production from 2012, and TAA 11 with the NATO cross symbol signifying 2011 production by 205th Arsenal in Taiwan. The casings are of bottleneck design with boxer primers. The collection is housed in a single cardboard shipping box and displays varying degrees of surface oxidation, carbon fouling at the mouths, and occasional small dings consistent with range pickup or once-fired brass. Most cases retain spent primers, though some appear de-primed. Heat-treated annealing marks are visible on the shoulder areas of several cases, typical of factory military-specification production.
Condition report:
The brass casings are in varied used condition consistent with once-fired or range-recovered ammunition. Most examples show typical surface tarnishing and carbon residue. Some cases exhibit minor mouth deformations or small dings from ejection. Most primers remain in place and are spent. The brass has not been polished or tumbled and is sold in as-found, dirty condition.
