    FYI: Shipping Ammunition


    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.

    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.
