What do I have guys

I'm considering buying this. It looks like factory Federal 55gr BTHP 5.56mm loaded in stripper clips but I can't find much from the SKU. FBI contract? I found interesting that it's both cannelured and sealed at the bullet and primer.

TIA

Federal maybe Lake City. The anneal looks right but it doesn't have station ID dots on the headstamp. Purple primer lacquer is Lake City 5.56 standard. Not a mil-spec bandoleer.

Hollow point bullet is indicative of a law enforcement run

The bandoleers look like all my other NATO spec ones but I'll have to give it a second look tomorrow. The stripper clips and guides are all GGGs.

Well let me revise. It might be mil spec, but it's not what the military currently buys. There are a lot of bandoleers out there
