What to do with the mystery box?

[CountryGent]

So I have an cardboard box with a bunch of ammo for guns I no longer I own. I need to jettison it at some point soon. I'm thinking I, or the Mrs, might reach out to the local gun club to see if they have any use for said.

Anyone ever have such a box and how was it dumped?

I always like to post a free item that someone would want, and tell them they have to take everything else.

i gave mine to my favorite gunsmith. He's always shooting something or another in different calibers.

A surprisingly bizarre-o grab bag of cartridges (e.g., 7.62×38㎜R Nagant, .45/70 Gov't, .30 Carbine, 7.62㎜ Tokarev, .40 S&W, etc.).

id take the 30 carbine, how many and how much?

 

[Wierzbowski]

I'd take the 7.62 Nagant and the Tokarev. To quote the man above, "how many and how much?"

 

[cigars]

How much for the 45-70?

I usually take mine to the range and dump it in the bin.

You know some one who is reading this that is not a member is going to try that now right!!

In all honesty. The projectiles nor brass make it that far from the fire.

It does make a nice loud "pop" when they go off though.

I keep mine in an ammo can for just in case because I'm an old acquaintance of Mr. Murphy.

An old-timer who was a friend of my folks' when I was a kid had a scar on his forehead, from a 30-30 casing that his father had thrown into a campfire when he was a kid.

I'm not sure if there's enough there to justify shipping, but somebody here might buy it from you, if they happen to shoot all those calibers. Coincidentally, I shoot every one that you mentioned. I don't need the ammo, as I have plenty, but there are probably others here who would.

Bet me.


You will regret getting rid of it.

One other story of ammo in a fire: many years ago a friend's sons were throwing .22 ammo in a fire. One of them said "Ouch!" and grabbed his ear. Something had cut his ear, and it wouldn't heal for days. A few days later they were at the breakfast table and he looked over at his son, to see something shiny in his ear lobe. He got tweezers and pulled a long sliver of brass out of his ear lobe. Then it heeled up fine.
