LC52 Headstamp - Legit Lake City Ammo???

[imarangemaster]

The copper color is a copper wash that the complete round is put through. The cases are steel as are the projectiles, and the copper coating does help. I shot a bunch of it in the 80s when I had a Type 56 Poly-Tech. VERY CORROSIVE! Didn't clean the gas tube immediately after firing and it was RUSTED!!!! It still worked, though!

The stuff my brother had came in the same boxes shown on the auction. The cases were brass - not plated steel. I don't know about the bullets - they are long gone!

Here's some pics showing the box and one case I still have:
