Disposing of 'presumed' Live Ammo - Part 2

[smokeysmoo]

My earlier thread appears to have been locked for some reason, so I'm not able to thank anyone on it.

So just wanted to say thanks for the replies, I've contacted a local gun shop via FB and they've said they will take them if we drop them off.

Note to mods, I'd love to know why the first thread was locked

How old is the ammunition, if you're thinking of transporting them.

I think he said it's a hand grenade he fished out the canal, although it was hard to hear smokey on the phone when I spoke to him so his watch doesnt half tick loud. Then he said something about finding a shell on the beach.

There was a handy pin to clip into his belt.

Sand poured in a small hole drilled through the case should stop the mechanism. Unless it's not mechanical.

Drop them in the bin outside, at the next amnesty.

I thought you were trying to dispose of it safely and responsibly?

I don't know is the short answer.

I'm going to hacksaw one in half and count the rings

Seriously though they will have to be over 30 years old. I'm thinking perhaps the rozzers should collect them instead?

They will be fine to move.
What quantity and are they still boxed?

There's only a handful but I don't know about being boxed, will an old quality Street run do? It would be like bonfire night when I was a kid

You're fired!

When I found a handgun in an abandoned house I called the local police station to report it. I thought I was being sensible but They got quite shirty and told me to call 999. The cops took it very seriously.
Ammo may be different.

I asked because a relative refused to use any cartridges over ten years old. He claimed they became unstable with age. Never put it to the test.

Worth informing the police you'll be travelling with them. Save awkward questions if stopped.
