The Demil Process

We have three processes that we use for different demil applications.

The first process we use is specifically for restricted projectile ammunition.  It involves the removal of the tracer or incendiary projectile in our Foreign Trade Zone, then re-bulleting the cartridge with a standard lead core ball projectile.

This is then sold as a sporting, or target cartridge to the U.S. commercial market.

The second process involves a procedure similar to the above, that adds an additional stage, that removes and destroys the primer from the cartridge case.

We are then left with a usable unprimed cartridge case and projectile.

The third process involves the mechanical destruction and removal of the primed cartridge case from the projectile.

This yields scrap brass and a reusable sporting projectile.

We can adapt any of our processed to meet the demil requirements of any country.  However the more of the components we are allowed to preserve the less we have to charge for the demil process.

It is important to understand that we use only environmentally safe methods.  No open burn or open detonation, and any reusable components of the demil operation are sold only in the commercial U.S. market.
