I saw this info over on SASS.Pretty worrisome,if true.
''I get a few things from time to time from Government Liquidations. They are the folks that handle all government auctions of surplus now. It used to be DRMO. I have bought a few surplus lots from them such as my M35A2 2 1/2 ton truck, brass, and other surplus.
Today I got this email from them.
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 SUV personnel can attest to the mutilation after delivery. A certificate of destruction is required in either case.
Thank you,
In short this means that ALL military surplus brass must be destroyed before purchaser can leave with it. So no more .223, .308, or any other caliber of military brass will be available anymore...''
Just thought you guys would like to know.
