Collection: 223 / 5.56 Brass

.223 / 5.56 Brass Casings — Bulk & Craft Supply

Genuine once-fired .223 Remington / 5.56 NATO brass casings, available in brass, nickel, and steel. These are real range-recovered shells, individually inspected and cleaned — not manufactured to look used. Headstamps and manufacturers vary since these come from real, fired brass, not a uniform batch. Available from small packs up to bulk 5.56 brass lots for larger projects.

This collection also includes ready-made dummy rounds for display and prop use, and flattened or engraved brass blanks for metal stamping and personalized pieces.
