grapemeister Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Has anyone heard our military is now shreading fired brass instead of selling it? I think you got a hold of an old story from several years ago. They are no longer allowed to destroy the brass, and it's now auctioned off as government surplus.

tohm Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 I saw a story on another site that said brass was being decommissioned again. So I figured guys here would know for sure. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Got an E-mail from Govt. Surplus the other day, 400,000 lbs of brass back east somewhere, you have to pick it up and haul it. Not mutilated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapemeister Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 A lot rumors flying around these days. Somebody told me the other day that you now have to sign for ammo when you purchase it here in Florida, Of course, that's totally not true.

It's at Ft. Benning to be picked up over a 6 month period with the price being the winning bid with market adjustments over the 6 months its being picked up. Do you think $2.50 a pound give or take? I have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I've heard of people bidding over $3.00 per pound, however, this is hearsay and I would not guarantee it to be accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 No, I didn't, seems like it might be a little risky. However, who knows ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
