The description:
10 COUNT REAL DEAL LAKE CITY Roufoss API HE. These are the high explosive 30 caliber version of the MK211 50 BMG round. These projectiles are more powerful than standard API (Armor Piercing Incendiary) .308, 7.62x51, .30-06 300 Winchester Magnum loads will pierce at least 1 inch cold-rolled steel from what I've seen, but can pierce thicker steel depending on pressure and match caliber load. (300 Winchester Magnum= 2+ inches penetration!). These bullets are match grade and function flawlessly, holding 1-MOA or better depending on the shooter, Inside outer jacket is a tungsten carbide penetrator, a barium titanium sponge, and zirconium sponge. The penetrator rips through the outer jacket upon impact, exposing the chemical compound mixture, both forcing clean through the hard target and incinerating everything within a 20 ft. radius at 7,000+ degrees. These were made by Lake City for European contract but where cancelled and the tips did not undergo the painting process. This accounts for the lack of paint, as is one of the final processes before consignee distribution. BY bidding on this item you are affirming that there are NO local or state laws prohibiting you from purchasing/ owning this item @ your location. Thanks for your business. !!PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST TO INSURE THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE MORE OF THESE. I'VE CURRENTLY GOT 40 MORE OF THESE AT A DISCOUNT PRICE. THE MORE YOU BUY THE MORE YOU'LL SAVE. I WILL THEN QUOTE YOU A DEAL PRICE DEPENDING ON HOW MANY YOU WANT. REGARDS.
The thing is, no such projectiles were ever made. The auction is pure BS. These bullets are pulled Soviet 7.62x54R API projectiles pushed through a .308 sizing die (which explains the faint cannelure marks).
The bidding is the amazing thing. At this writing, $28/bullet and reserve still not met! Whatever else we can say about brad_labonte, he has balls. That's a decent bullet, but no more "fun" than a USGI M14A1 bullet, and those can be had for less than $5 each.
Oh and nothing like saying it's the real deal and then misspelling Raufoss.
This auction is more like it.
