It looks as if they're going to try to stop reloading now.

This is as bad as the Clinton admin destroying perfectly good surplus firearms, 1911s and some NIB M1 Garands at Crane. Waste of perfectly good once-fired brass.

There is currently brass on their auction site that's not "demilled".

I never got to get in on the auction stuff. 45000 lbs of brass seemed a bit much even for the ol Cummins.

NOTICE!!!



A hardy congratulation is due to our loyal customers, our good friends, and our fellow shooting enthusiasts through out this great nation! Due to the diligent and overwhelming effort of many thousands of you, calling, writing, and emailing our elected officials, DOD Surplus, LLC, has rescinded its prior directive that ALL small arms spent casings be mutilated rather than recycled. This was a huge victory for common sense and we would like to thank each and every person who made an effort and played a role in correcting this mistake. We at Georgia Arms are proud of everyone who took the time and had the courage to stand up for our rights. We believe, that by your outpouring of anger and dismay, you not only extended our liberty and freedoms but also took a stand for economic common sense in a time when we know our government should be trying to reduce costs at all levels rather than throwing money away for some politically correct reason or the other. Again, our hat is off to everyone who helped and thanks to God as well. We will roll up our sleeves and go back to work; we have 223's and 308's to build! (Below is a copy of the email we received from DOD on 3/17/09 @ 4:30pm)



GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!



(This was pertaining to an outstanding bid on a lot of brass that we won prior to the mutilation order. DOD sent us a bill for the brass after we had refused it due to the mutilation requirements. DOD on Monday sent us a bill for the brass and when we responded that we had already refused it due to the mutilation clause, we received this reply via email. )



I am sorry you hadn't been informed -



Word came down that all shells 50 caliber or smaller CAN still be purchased without the mutilation requirement as long as kept in the US.



(As it was in limbo, I did not sent your EUC to Battle Creek until today, also why I have not contacted you for payment until today. )



Thanks!

This is good news, but I personally think we have more challanges ahead and more work to do.



Hats off to those who wrote and asked for common sense to prevail.



PS aren't we willing to pay more for useable brass rather than the scrap only value of trashed brass? Uncle Sam needs the cash I hear.
