Can you sell brass ammunition casing as scrap metal?

Yes, brass ammunition casings can be sold as scrap metal. Brass is a valuable metal that is often recycled, so most scrap metal yards will accept brass ammunition casings.

Before you sell your brass ammunition casings, it is important to make sure that they are completely empty and free of any live rounds. If a scrap metal yard finds live rounds in your brass casings, they may refuse to accept them or may charge you a fee for disposing of them.

You can also contact your local recycling center to see if they accept brass ammunition casings. Some recycling centers may offer a higher price for brass than scrap metal yards, but they may also have more restrictions on what types of brass they will accept.

When you sell your brass ammunition casings, be sure to get a receipt from the scrap metal yard or recycling center. This receipt will help you prove that you have properly disposed of your ammunition casings and may also be helpful if you are ever audited by the IRS.

Here are some tips for selling brass ammunition casings as scrap metal:

- Clean the casings thoroughly before you sell them. Dirt and debris can reduce the value of the casings.

- Sort the casings by type and caliber. This will make them more valuable to scrap metal yards and recycling centers.

- Get multiple quotes from different scrap metal yards and recycling centers before you sell your casings. This will help you get the best possible price.
