Description

This lot consists of a verified total of 200 rounds of 5.56x45mm NATO centerfire rifle ammunition. These cartridges are the M855 “Green Tip” ball variation, featuring a 62-grain full metal jacket boat-tail projectile with a mild steel penetrator core, indicated by the characteristic green paint on the bullet tips. The cartridges utilize reloadable brass casings with visible annealing marks at the neck and shoulder area. Legible headstamps include markings for Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LC) and Winchester (WCC), with production year codes including 11 and 12, alongside the NATO four-pointed star in a circle symbol. This ammunition is intended for use in firearms chambered specifically for 5.56 NATO with appropriate twist rates for 62-grain projectiles. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears in good, live condition. The brass casings show varying degrees of surface oxidation, tarnishing, and minor scuffing consistent with bulk storage and handling. Projectiles are seated firmly with the green tip paint remaining largely intact across the lot. Primers appear original and unspent.
