Please read their notice!!!!
Brass is being destroyed rather than being sold. It makes me screaming mad. I needed another thousand rounds of brass for praire dogging.
The notice on Jeff's website:
"Effective Immediately
Orders for all military brass acquired thru government auction is hereby
suspended until further notice. If recent auction purchased brass is
is declared unrestricted, all orders will be filled in order received."
It is starting!!!!!!!!
I know these good folks and they are going to be forced out of business or to lay off employees.
DOD Ends Sale of Expended Military Brass to Remanufacturers

AND SO IT BEGINS…
We all wondered when it was going to start.
When the new administration would make their move against us as gun owners. Oh, everyone got upset about HR45–I’ll bet I got over 100 e-mails warning me about this draconian gun registration bill that had been introduced in Congress.
I was really glad to see Tom Gresham, host of "Gun Talk Radio," an editor, writer, television host on "Self-Defense TV," and one of the foremost gun spokespersons, come out and tell everyone to stop worrying about legislation so absolutely over-the-top–it would never get out of committee.
Tom said save your energy for when we really need it–don’t expend it trying to warn everyone in your e-mail list about legislation that would go nowhere.
Now, Tom just interviewed me, and Larry Haynie, owner of Georgia Arms (
www.georgia-arms.com), on Gun Talk (
www.guntalk.com)–and Tom agrees, now is the time to "…unleash the hounds…" by which he means start e-mailing and writing your senators and congressmen.
Now it has come clear…now we know what they intend to do.
It is an end-run around Congress. They don’t need to try to ban guns–they don’t need to fight a massive battle to attempt gun registration, or limit "assault" weapon sales.
Nope. All they have to do is limit the amount of ammunition available to the civilian market, and when bullets dry up, guns will be useless.
Think we jest?
Here are copies of two letters sent to Georgia Arms just Thursday evening–effectively cancelling a contract he had to purchase 30,000 pounds of expended military brass in .223, 7.62mm, and .50 caliber:
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,

Re: Event 7084-6200:
Dear Larry Haynie,
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.
If you do not agree with the new conditions of your spot sale, please sign the appropriate box provided below stating that you do not agree to the new terms and would like to cancel your purchase effective immediately. If you do agree to the new terms please sign in the appropriate box provided below to acknowledge your understanding and agreement with the new requirements relating to your purchase.

Please respond to this request no later than close of business Monday, March 16th, 2009.
Sincerely,
Government Liquidation.
