Shipping Pickle~ loose ammo

dr.gonzo! · December 27th, 2010, 10:28 AM

I just put my gun up for sale and am including all 6 of the magazines. I might try to sell the ammo separately since I have no need for .223 anymore. The problem is after I loaded my magazines, I threw away the empty ammo boxes and now I have 180 rounds loose in a zip lock bag. Just a shot in the dark, but I am guessing it's not okay to ship like this.

what to do?

Just an idea get a box or 2 and put Styrofoam in it. Put the bullets tip down into the Styrofoam and they should stay and you SHOULD be fine. Don't hold me to this.

Or

sell it on CL and let it be known its loose ammo and only available for pick up and not shipping.

EDIT: This is just my .02 take it or leave it.

CL is a twat waffle about anything other than Airsoft or paintball guns
Now if I just had some Styrofoam.

Kit Kraft inc., Model Building Materials, Styrofoam and Balsafoam, 4" white Styrofoam Block

Order cut in half (2inches high) and use that. Then you will have left over to poor super glue on and make a nasty toxic gas that can kill you if you breath it in. OR save the rest in case you need it for something some day.

Gonzo, if it comes down to it I can mail you the plastic sleeve and box for a couple hundred .223 rounds... I have a few boxes laying around.

Dolbs4082 · December 27th, 2010, 11:04 AM

What you got for sell? I could help you skip the shipping! haha

dr.gonzo! · December 27th, 2010, 11:05 AM

Cool. Will see if gun sells first before I try to sell the ammo.

DPMS Panther 16" 5.56 2.23 w/(6)30 round Magazines : Semi-auto at GunBroker.com

and about 380 rounds of wolf .223 ammo I need to count it to make sure.

It doesn't matter if it's loosely packaged. Just make sure that it's packed tight in the box, and it can't move around.

On the box somewhere you have to put the letters ORM-D to show that it is ammo.

just cl it...SOMEONE will buy it!!

NastyFX4 · December 27th, 2010, 03:39 PM

It's Wolf ammo? Just throw it in the trash so someone doesn't run it in their AR...

.45ACP · December 27th, 2010, 04:12 PM

my DDXV ate wolf like candy... just needs a good cleaning afterwards

dr.gonzo! · December 27th, 2010, 06:31 PM

It goes bang when I pull the trigger and I have never had a miss fire. I have heard it is hard on parts, but for the price difference of an extractor compared to shooting brass, I will pick wolf over and over again. For what its worth, the AR has fired 10 fold better with wolf ammo than my hi point .40 does with expensive shit

Also I can not put it on craigslist. My state is not cool like yours

I was reading that its only okay to do that with cartridges

How to Ship Ammunition or Ammo

Now, under section 173.115, part (v) it states that cartridges, and 22 caliber rim-fire cartridges may be packaged loose in strong outside packaging. The label marking is the same as above.

What do you think those .223 rounds are lol?
