Managing the Logistics of a 22,000-Round Ammunition Stockpile The Challenge: A High-Volume Disposal Dilemma Estate liquidators in Jefferson County often face a specific logistical hurdle: what to do with the "leftovers" after the firearms have been distributed. In a recent case in Arnold, Missouri, a local liquidator was managing an estate where the family had already claimed the heirlooms but was left with a staggering 22,000 rounds of ammunition tucked away in closets, garage cabinets, and heavy military-style ammo cans. Ammunition is often overlooked during the initial estate inventory, yet it represents a significant weight and safety liability. For an estate liquidator, 22,000 rounds of lead and brass isn't just a collection; it is a specialized disposal project that requires a Saint Louis area gun buyer with the logistics to handle high-volume removal. The Challenge Weight and Safety Liability 22,000 rounds of lead and brass can weigh well over 500 pounds. This volume represents a significant logistical challenge and a potential safety liability for a home being prepared for the market. The Inventory Breakdown Rimfire: Over 10,000 rounds of bulk .22 LR. Handgun Calibers: High volumes of .45 ACP and 9mm Luger. Rifle Calibers: Several thousand rounds of 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington.
