What to do with leftover ammo?

[Camhabib]

I did a search on this and found a few old threads with no real definitive answer so figured I’d ask again.

I have a couple boxes of ammo I no longer have any use for (about $60 worth). Wondering what exactly I’m legally allowed to do with them in MA. Can I sell them to an individual, give them away, dispose of them someway? There’s no chance I’m going to shoot them and I’d hate to just see them collecting dust.

KARMA THEM.

I certainly will volunteer to take them off your hands at no cost to you!

If you have a buddy that can use it give it to them. Otherwise sell it.

BTW buddy, what kind of ammo?

12 gauge 3.5” steel 2 shot and 3 shot. Is it legal to sell? If so can I just do it on my own or do I have to go through a dealer?

All of the above. Jack.

Give it away. What caliper?

I saw that in another thread but didn’t know if it’s enforced or if there was another law that superseded it?

We don't sell the ammo. It just happens to be in the box that we do sell. The ammo is free.

Toss it in the wood stove

Sell the ammo or give it away. I’m sure some duck or predator hunters out there would love that stuff.

Best idea yet. Jack.

It just goes snap crackle pop. No explosion.

Give it to the kids next Halloween.

leftover ammo???? I'm not familiar with that term. Maybe you could provide a link that explains this odd concept.


Seriously, KARMA those bullets.

Are you really worried about the law? It's your property. Do whatever the hell you want with it. In the unlikely event someone calls the cops on you for giving your new buddy (me) a handful of shotgun shells just deny it and demand pictures. If they provide pictures deny it again. If they say three highly trained government spies watched the transaction from the bushes across the street plead insanity and beg for forgiveness.
But by then I'll have the shells and and I'll have fled to Argentina. Shit, I didn't mean Argentina. I meant somewhere else.

Looks like a 27mm?

Mail it to France C/O Gilets Jaunes...

 

[fencer]

There is no such thing.

Best Idea.. But don't do it or do it if you want.

 

[Muddydog]

where are you located?, thats good sea duck and goose loads,

 

[Climbnsink]

Sprinkle it around your local mall or school. Just kidding. Don't do that. It wasn't that long ago that most Americans were familiar with ammo and wouldn't have a hissy fit at the sight of the stuff.

No shit. I think it's a myth, like Godzilla or leftover bacon. Please.

Take it to a local gun shop and tell them you dont want it. Some employee will scoop it up. Or leave it in the clubhouse of your nearest gun club with a note reading "Free".

3.5" #2's and 3's? Find and give it to a snow goose or drone hunter

I asked around and sadly don’t know anyone with a 3.5” chamber. That said, if anyone could use some and happens to have a couple boxes of 9 shot laying around, I wouldn’t say no.
