Is There A Market For .50 BMG Brass?

[arrowshooter]

I have been lugging this brass around for too many years and it's time to go so I am wondering if this is something that folks here would buy? From what I can tell it's once fired since it is all crimped and probably military. Got it from a buddy some years back and he was going to use it for a table or something like that. I will list it in the classifieds if good to go. There's about 40# or so and need a touch of sorting first.

Probably. See what once fired brass goes for and place an ad here.

I'm sure for the right price you'll be able to unload it.

In your spare time just polish it and make bottle openers........

LOL, or sell them to the guy that has time to make bottle openers.

A local gun shop sells them once fired with a projectile in them for $5 apiece. It would seam they should be worth half if that in the shape they are in. I have seen them used as handles for opening cabinets.

I knock the primers out then tumble shiny and sell them to other dealers for .50/ea. They like them to put them thru the rifle trigger guards to display them better.

I have the same issues using up or getting rid of it. I only load once fired stuff myself but right now I can get it cheaper already loaded and linked.

So much for a "sellers" market then.

Pm me with a total price you would like to sell them for.

Scrap brass is around a buck fifty a pound for off the street folk so don't go lower than that.

Everglades Ammo sells once fired Lake City pretty cheap with free shipping. Out of two lots of 350 there was only 3 bad ones, all of the brass was Lake City and it was actually pretty clean.
