Range Brass

[JB]

ok where do ranges get rid of all there old brass like 22's and other cal that no one wants :?:

 

[Second Wind]

I sell ours to a scrap dealer I found in the yellow pages.

 

[horkz]

.22lr, we dont, too far away from scrap dealers. Otherwise it would be considered.

How much do you get for your brass? Just curious.

When my brass gets old I deprime it, crush it with heavy pliers and throw them in the trash.

 

[Second Wind]

I got $50.00 for two recycle bins full of 22 rimfire last time.

 

[stormbringer]

one for for scrap dealers.

We keep ours in 5 gallon pails and the money goes to the junior programs.

 

[death-junky]

[woodchopper]

castings are not the problem

You should be able to make a backyard forge that can do that. The hard part woud be getting a container to melt in.

its called a crucible :wink:

An old primitive pit furnace would work. :mrgreen:

 

[RobSmith]

now that I think of it, old style napoleonic-era brass cannon sounds cool ... time to start saving up that .22 brass ! Or maybe something a little smaller, like a blunderbuss... :twisted:

Then again, how much would a piece of 3 inch brass bar, say, 20 inches long cost ?

[Calum]

[blindside]

UH just a little number starting with the digits 666 on our foreheads. No worries

Crucibles are casts made from refractory powders. Refractory can be nasty to your health as they are known carcinogens, so wearing a dust masks is a must. Building a furnace can be done in variety of different ways. To do it safely with the amount of energy your going to used in the process, it’s not something that’s makes money on a small scale of ingots.
