# 102-40.60 Ammunition and ammunition components.

(a) Report usable ammunition to GSA for possible transfer to a Federal agency. You must not donate surplus ammunition. You may donate surplus ammunition components to eligible recipients. You may sell non-expended ammunition and ammunition components (expended and non-expended) only to companies licensed to perform manufacturing/remanufacturing processes under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 923 or other Federal law or regulation or to companies allowed to purchase ammunition components under local and State laws. If the ammunition is regulated by the National Firearms Act (NFA) or any other Federal regulation, the ammunition can only be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulation. Ammunition greater than .50 caliber can, in some instances, be regulated under the NFA. You must follow any demilitarization requirements.

(b) Expended ammunition cartridge cases may also be transferred or donated when the recipient certifies that the spent brass will be reloaded and used only for law enforcement purposes. If there is no Federal or State donation interest in the cases, and a sale of the scrap is not feasible, cartridge cases may be disposed of using abandonment or destruction procedures. The recipient must certify that the expended cartridge cases will not be used for the original manufactured purpose.
