mixed brass has a scrap value of €2 per kg at the minute
so ask the gaurds if you are allowed send them in for scrap then contact a local scrapper and see if they will take it.

Jim,
I would hold onto a good bit if I were you, especially magnum cases.

If reloading comes to Eire, you'll want to grab one of these. I find that shotguns are just as finicky, it not more, than rifles.

As I have posted before, they also make nice lights!

i wonder is that without the plastic casing? when you scrap a car you remove the tyres or get charged for it. do you think its the same?

most of them have steel heads with brass plating i'd say they are worth sfa to a scrap dealer
