I have this box of Remington 5.56 dummy ammo. All 20 rounds are present and accounted for. Is this collectible? If so, could you attach a value to it? Here's a photo. Thanks for your help.

Yes, it has value. And is useful. It is the proper way to test for feed and function with an AR platform or even a bolt gun. It would also have some collector value to folks who have that interest as it is seldom seen (at least outside of the military and manufacturing facilities) As to the value? My guess is that it is worth at least a buck a round. (probably more) I would, maybe, put it on the WTS board and see if there is any interest. HTH GB
 
Box looks to be in good shape so I would think $20-30 to a collector.
 
My personal preferences tend toward the older stuff, such as US military arms from the Civil War to WW2 era. I have a number of dummy rounds that were produced for training purposes at various times, and they have both practical and collector values.

Your 5.56mm dummy ammunition is of relatively recent production, so the present value is primarily for practical use. As time goes by that may change.

It won't hurt you a bit to hold onto that stuff for a while.
