NRA is aware and working to turn this around......

Word is last night Obama signed an executive order to stop all sales of reloadable 5.56 and 7.62 brass. From here out it has to be 'mutilated' and sold as scrap. Here's the read from Georgia Arms.....

Due to new government regulations concerning the purchasing of surplus brass, we are removing sales of all 223 and all 308 until further notice. Below is a copy of the email we recieved from Goverment Liqudiations.


"Effective immediately DOD Surplus, LLC, will be implementing new requirements for mutilation of fired shell casings. The new DRMS requirement calls for DOD Surplus personnel to witness the mutilation of the property and sign the Certificate of Destruction. Mutilation of the property can be done at the DRMO, if permitted by the Government, or it may be mutilated at a site chosen by the buyer. Mutilation means that the property will be destroyed to the extent prevents its reuse or reconstruction. DOD Surplus personnel will determine when property has been sufficiently mutilated to meet the requirements of the Government. "


This is a huge waste of taxpayer's money. The value of these products is reduced by 80% by going from a recycled product to a scrap product.

What say y'all????
 
So you and I can't have an uprising against the government in the future, like the folks did back in 1776...History repeats itself you know. It's pretty easy to squash rebellion when the people are armed with single shot shotguns. (Remember the "Annointed One" said he "would not take away our guns to pheasant hunt with" to the stupid idiots in a midwest speech.
 
I have been reading some threads on 24hour about this same issue. There is some more info over there. It's not just 5.56 and 308, it's ALL caliber brass!!!

Dear Valued Customer:

Please take a moment to note important changes set forth by the Defense Logistics Agency:

Recently it has been determined that fired munitions of all calibers, shapes and sizes have been designated to be Demil code B. As a result and in conjunction with DLA's current Demil code B policy, this notice will serve as official notification which requires Scrap Venture (SV) to implement mutilation as a condition of sale for all sales of fired munitions effective immediately. This notice also requires SV to immediately cease delivery of any fired munitions that have been recently sold or on active term contracts, unless the material has been mutilated prior to sale or SV personnel can attest to the mutilation after delivery. A certificate of destruction is required in either case.

Thank you,

i guess, but the 223 and 5.56 are somewhat different and are not safely interchangeable in SAAMI spec chambers, except for AR type rifles which are long throat. the 308 and 7.62 are interchangeable though.

this ad says mil surpus, not commercial, or are they trying to get rid of commercial brass as well?
 
It is all DOD brass.

Instead of selling it as once fired brass at a higher price, they will mutilate them and then sell them off as scrap.

Backwards government.
