    Good work folks. I don't know how many here wrote their representative about the DOD Spent Brass Destruction issue, but I did. It seems that we may have won a small battle against this Anti-gun administration, that was about to backdoor tax ammunition.

    Read the home page message at Georgia Arms. It may bring a tear of joy to your eye.

    Dear Loyal Customers


    Dear Loyal Customers,

    Thanks to your voice, DOD has rescinded the order to mutilate all spent cases as of 4:30 pm on 3/17/09. We appreciate the time and effort that you expended, together we all made a difference. We will be posting the email we received from DOD as well as any additional information within the next 12-16 hours. Thanks so much and lets get to work!!! Georgia Arms

    Here is another conformation of the reversal:

    ________________________________________

    Dear MSSA Friends,

    I just received a phone call from the office of U.S. Senator Tester of Montana to inform me that at 5:15 (EST) today a letter cosigned by Senator Tester (D-MT) and Senator Baucus (D-MT) was faxed to the Department of Defense asking DoD to reverse its new policy requiring destruction of fired military cartridge brass. At 5:30, I am told, Tester's office received a fax back from DoD saying that the brass destruction policy IS reversed.

    Others report to me that they are already seeing evidence of this on the Websites of entities that liquidate surplus DoD commodities.

    Our thanks go out to Senator Tester and Senator Baucus, and their staff, for getting on this problem promptly and making the reversal happen

    Staff for Tester and Baucus promise they will get me the documentation for this reversal tomorrow morning. I'll forward that when I get it.

    Best wishes,

    Gary Marbut, president

    Great news! It appears the destruction of military once fired brass has ended with a reversal of DoD policy.
    Who says complaining does not pay off. (Refer back to last alert).

    Please read the latest from the MSSA.........
