Lot 592:
Lake City M855 Green Tip 5.56x45mm NATO Ammunition Lot of 200 Rounds
Description
This lot consists of 200 rounds of M855 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition, commonly referred to as green tip ammunition due to the distinctive paint on the projectile tips. These cartridges utilize 62-grain full metal jacket bullets featuring a steel penetrator core, designed for increased penetration at extended ranges compared to standard lead-core ball ammunition. The cartridges are constructed with brass casings showing visible annealing marks at the necks and shoulders, a standard characteristic of military-specification ammunition. Visible headstamps include the NATO cross-in-circle symbol along with the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant “LC” manufacturer code and two-digit year codes including “13” and “14,” indicating production around 2013-2014. The ammunition is loose-packed in a transparent plastic container and is being sold as a bulk lot. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in service-ready, live condition. The brass casings show varying degrees of surface oxidation, tarnishing, and minor handling marks typical of bulk military-surplus style storage. The green tip paint on the projectiles is largely intact with minor scuffing visible on some rounds. The primers are seated correctly, and no significant corrosion or case damage was observed during visual inspection.
