Needing 30-06 Brass for a Good Cause

[richidaho]

We are needing 30-06 Brass for the Blackfoot Idaho American Legion Post 23. We do 21 gun solutes with M-1 Garands. We pick up the 21 casings, place them in a bag and give them to the families of the passed Veteran. We lose a few and use about 1000 casings every 2-3 years. We have a State Veterans Sematary in Blackfoot so we do over 125 funerals yearly. I'm willing to pay for the brass just don't want to pay 250-300$ for 1000 used brass. Any pointers on where to get some cheap brass (not trash) would be helpful.

Is once-fired acceptable?

@richidaho

Do you need blanks or do you just need empty brass?

My good friend @Foul Mike has some info for you on getting blanks. tagged him so he can get you the information he has.

I would be happy to help! PM me with an address and I'll ship some Monday.

TACOM supplies blanks to AL, VFW etc. If those rifles have blank firing adapters installed, rollin yer own is a recipe for disaster.
PM me and I will tell you how to do it.
I took care of the AL and VFW rifles and blanks here for about 30 years so BTDT.

We just want the brass to give to the veterans family. We are not reloading any blanks.

We just got new refinished M1’s last year. Took over a year to get them. Our last set we had for over 50 years.

Went to the range this morning... Somebody had fired a whole box of Winchester nickel plated '06 and left it laying there.

20 pieces. Yours if you want it.

In over all condition, rust pits etc., did you get back rifles as nice as what you sent in?
A few years ago we sent 1 in that had a small crack at the back of the receiver but in otherwise nice cond. The 1 they sent back has
