FYI: Shipping Ammunition

[J.Baker]

Seems that back in 2011 the gooberment decided to change the rules for shipping small arms ammunition in limited quantities. Previously such packages had to be marked with an "ORM-D Cartridges, Small Arms" sticker, but now that sticker is no longer used and has been replaced with a black and white diamond sticker.

More in-depth details can be found here for those interested. (http://www.adazonusa.com/how-to-ship-ammunition-or-ammo.html)

Good info jim on a subject that always seems to be a "gray" area of knowledge to some. Maybe we should put this as a sticky in the classified section...LOL

Interesting info however,
The last 12 or so boxes of 5.45x39 & 7.62x39 I got from various suppliers all had the obligatory ORM-D marking. Even ammo I've sent via UPS has the ORM-D marking.
The info you put up says as of 2011?
Are we running late or are they running a wee bit behind?...

Pretty sure that somewhere in the article it said that shippers have until Dec. 31 of this year to come into compliance with the new reg's.
