GI .50 Caliber Brass Shell Casing

50 Cal. Brass Shell Casings

Add a heavyweight slice of American firepower to your desk or display. This GI .50 cal shell casing started life feeding a Ma Deuce or Barrett, was once-fired, then fully demilled—primer struck and projectile removed—for safe handling. Each 5.45-inch brass case tips the scales at roughly 230 g, wearing honest range patina that polishes to parade shine if you prefer.

Headstamps vary—from Lake City to Twin Cities—so every piece carries its own Cold-War provenance. Ideal for trench-art lamp mounts, pen stands, or teaching ballistics basics, these casings ship CONUS only due to postal regs. Limited lot—secure a few before this brass disappears into private collections.
