Status: Sold

Antique .50 caliber Experimental Open Chamber System cartridge display featuring a copper jacketed projectile housed in a clear triangular presentation case with identification label. Experimental ammunition such as this was developed and tested to evaluate alternative chambering and firing system concepts, often for military research and developmental programs rather than general service use. The cartridge remains sealed within its original display holder, making it an interesting example of ammunition design and ordnance experimentation. Condition appears good overall with light wear and scratches to the plastic display case, while the cartridge itself shows a clean appearance with no obvious signs of corrosion or damage visible through the casing. Cartridge measurements are OAL 5.0in
