The live, defective and surplus rounds no one else will touch — rendered inert in our proprietary popping furnace, then recovered for their metal. Nothing live ever reaches the melt.
We own the furnace. Your rounds don’t pass through a broker — they come to ours, in Houston, so more of the metal’s value comes back to you.
Loaded rounds can’t go into a melt, so most recyclers turn them away. We designed a furnace for exactly these. Live rounds are rendered inert first, then the brass, lead and copper are recovered and sent to our own smelter — with a certificate of destruction for every lot.

Off-spec, rejected and recalled lots — even ones others turned away.
Old, mixed, corroded or unidentified small-arms stock.
Recovered during range cleanup, popped and documented.
Popping happens before smelting, every time. It’s the reason we designed and built our own furnace — and why you get a certificate of destruction for every lot.
