    The first thing to look for is the color of the primer. If it's brass colored it's most likely Chinese as most if not all USGI LC-52 were silver in color. The best way to tell is to pull a round and look for the amount of flash holes present in the bottom of the case. One is USGI and two in Chinese. The boxes are a give away as they are not even close to USGI boxes and the printing on them is rubber stamped as stated above.
