Deprimed .223/5.56 Nickel Bullet Slices — Thin Cut, Polished (Qty 15)
These are genuine once-fired .223 Remington/5.56 NATO rifle nickel casings, sliced into thin, uniform pieces and deprimed, ready for earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, rings, pins, and keychains. With the primer removed, each slice has an open hole ready for a crystal, a length of wire, or a tie-through cord. Every casing is wet tumbled, then individually hand-inspected — a real person looking at every single piece, not a machine. From there, each slice is precision-cut and individually hand-filed to remove sharp edges and ensure a smooth, completely round finish, ready for gluing or soldering with no jagged edges to deal with. Headstamps vary — a mix of military and commercial casings — since these are genuine once-fired brass from multiple sources, not manufactured to be identical.
Prefer the primer left in for a more authentic look, or brass instead of nickel? See our standard primed nickel version or our deprimed brass version.

FAQ
Q: Are these safe to handle?
A: Yes — primer removed entirely, no powder, completely inert.
Q: Why deprimed instead of primed?
A: Removing the primer leaves an open hole many customers use for a crystal, wire, or tie-through cord — useful if your design needs that opening. Prefer primers intact for a more authentic look? See our standard version.
Q: Will all 15 pieces look identical?
A: No — headstamps vary since these are genuine once-fired casings from military and commercial sources, not manufactured to be uniform.
Q: When will my order ship?
A: Most orders ship within 1-2 business days.
