Lake City Ammo Question

[ksville]

Found several boxs of 7.62 Match ammo in my garage and wondering if anyone has any information on this ammo. I have been told that if it is older it has collector value and it also has value to shooters. The ammo is unopened and in light brown boxs that look fairly old. Front of box has MATCH in red letters with an Eagle, across the bottom it has"LAKE CITY ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT". The narrow portion of the top has "DISPOSAL OF FIRED CASES SHALL BE AS PERSCRIBED BY ARMY REGULATIONS"
On the back it has
Line 1 20 Cartridges
Line 2 7.62 MM NATO
M 118
LOT LC 60-12
BULLET 173 GRAINS
VELOCITY 2550 FPS
LAKE CITY ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT
Any assistance in the identification of the year of manufacture or the value would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading

It M118 match LC and other plants made millions of rounds. Nothing special, shot it.

Good luck

Most of my lake city has LC and a date stamp on the case head.

Re: Lake City Ammo Question

No collector value, just shoot value. The year of manufacture will be on the headstamp of the case.
