Surplus brass - ONE FINAL TIME
 

Ok, as there has been some false info swirling around the internet about military surplus brass either not being sold any more OR that it had to be mutilated (read melted down) if you could buy it.

ALL OF THIS IS FALSE!

Here is but ONE LISTING from Government Liquidation. And this is neither a large or small lot. 20,000 lbs is pretty consistent with them 'getting rid' of once fired brass.

Note this lot consists of 50 cal, 7.62 (several types), 5.56 (blanks) and 9mm.

LOT APPROX(19, 822)LBS OF EXPENDED BRASS CASINGS, LOT INCLUDES, APPROX(512)LBS OF EXPENDED. 50 CAL BLANK CASINGS, APPROX(1134)LBS OF EXPENDED 7. 62MM BLANK CASINGS, APPROX(8134)LBS OF EXPENDED 7. 62 BALL CASINGS, APPROX(4624)LBS OF EXPENDED 5. 56MM BLANK CASINGS AND APPROX(5118)LBS OF EXPENDED 9MM BALL CASINGS, BRASS IS STORED IN 55 GALLON DRUMS WEIGHT OF THE EXPENDED BRASS DOES NOT INCLUDES THE WEIGHT OF THE DRUMS OR PALLET DRUMS MUST BE EMPTIED ON SITE INTO BUYERS STORAGE CONTAINERS, DRUMS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE, OFF SITE SCALE WILL BE USED FOR WEIGHING CONVEYANCE, SOME LOAD OUT ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE, PREVIEWS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, MUTILATION NOT REQUIRED

Hope that clears it all up for the FINAL TIME. At least until the government changes it's mind. Which could happen, as we all know.

OK then, who is up for a group buy?

I could be dead wrong on this, but I think that "end use certificate" under bidding restrictions, has something to do with it. I know I read on another firearms board that there was discussion about this certificate that was needed. something to do with destroying of brass.. Like I said I could be wrong....

It was true for about a week and a half. The DOD rescinded the order after a huge uproar and said it was a mistake.

Well, I'm going to have to dine on crow. I went on a rant about this 3 weeks ago to my best friend. Hopefully, he won't see this. :10_1_20: Thanks wallew, a reminder to get my facts straight, before I jump up on the soapbox.

EUC's are NORMALLY required for vehicles.

I know for a fact that the surplus chests I purchased (88 of them) required NO EUC.

Having said that, I'm currently waiting for the EUC to clear through Battle Creek for the M1028A3 (one ton 1986 4x4 dually w/13k miles) that I purchased about three weeks ago.

Hopefully I'll get clearance sometime in a couple of weeks and a buddy of mine is going to pick it up and deliver it to me.

But for the surplus brass? No EUC required. Not yet anyway.

Oh, and there were lots of 80,000 lbs of this stuff. I listed the smallest one.

3 weeks ago,
 

you were correct, the government changed its' mind.:bear_thumb:
