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. Fax the signed document back to (480) 367-1450, emailed responses are not acceptable.

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

Sincerely,

Government Liquidation.

THIS NOTICE WAS POSTED BY GEORGIA ARMS JUST THIS WEEK:

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effort of many thousands of you, calling, writing, and emailing our elected officials, DOD Surplus, LLC, has rescinded its prior directive that ALL small arms spent casings be mutilated rather than recycled.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 all thanks to the incredible number of letters, phone calls and emails sent by angry and outraged citizens. Hopefully, we all come together again as one voice in the 2010 elections.

“Some fine ammunition companies are loading our bullets, but retailers don’t always have a particular bullet weight or caliber in stock,” said Coni Brooks, VP of Sales & Marketing, and co-owner of Barnes Bullets. “We hate to see our customers disappointed, so we’re selling this factory-loaded ammunition directly through our website: www.barnesbullets.com.” Click here for loaded ammunition pricing and ordering information.

Manufacturers offering factory-loaded ammunition featuring Barnes Bullets include Black Hills, Cor-Bon, Weatherby, Silver State Armory and the International Cartridge Corporation. Available bullet styles are the TSX™, TTSX™, Banded Solids™, XPB™ handgun bullets and the popular Varmint Grenade™ varmint bullets.

“This factory ammunition allows customers who don’t reload to use our revolutionary copper bullets in their rifles and handguns,” Brooks added. “TSX and TTSX bullets are unexcelled for hunting everything from deer and pronghorn to much larger game. They deliver instant double-diameter expansion, pass-through penetration and match-grade accuracy.”

Barnes Banded Solids track deep and straight, even through heavy bone. Made of homogeneous copper/zinc alloy, these are the most dependable dangerous game bullets you can buy.

XPB pistol bullets are available in a full range of handgun calibers. These 100 percent copper bullets expand to double diameter while delivering deep, sure penetration.

Based on a design Barnes developed for military applications, the Varmint Grenade has a composite, highly frangible core. Fragments explosively on impact, virtually vaporizing prairie dogs. Excellent long-range accuracy.

“We’ll do our best to keep this factory-loaded ammunition in stock,” Brooks said. “If you can’t find what you want at your local retailer, check our website.”

Barnes is not currently selling factory ammunition from Federal Cartridge, Norma, Sellier & Bellot and Sako. This ammunition can be obtained through your local dealer or mail order catalog. For a list of custom ammunition loaders, click here.
