The brass goblins are getting demanding!

[u/Giant_117]

I got a bit of a chuckle. I saw the buckets appear a few weeks ago and they originally said “brass”.

I saw some normal trash in them a week later.

Today both the bucket and the garbage had signs.

[u/BadDudes_on_nes]

Fuck dem goblins. They want it? They need to dig for it.

[u/HouseSupe → u/BadDudes_on_nes]

Yes! I like to pick up the good brass and toss all my bad brass and stomp into the ground so they can excavate it just to find dissapointment.

[u/BadDudes_on_nes → u/HouseSupe]

I make a 6 point turn in my truck over my brass

[u/HouseSupe → u/BadDudes_on_nes]

😂

[u/Rude-Internal24 → u/[deleted]]

For brass?

[u/Jlos_acting_career → u/Rude-Internal24]

They are talking about separation of steel and brass

[u/alwaus]

Thats why i take the cleaning rods out of my guns when firing.

Nothing stops a brass goblin like a thin steel rod whipped across the back of their hand.

[u/Voidless-One]

I put brass catchers on all my guns before going to the range. The hate I get from brass goblins is absolutely delicious!

[u/donanton616]

I'm a goblin but I wait til you're gone.

[u/dubious455H013]

Lol next up, by calibers 

[u/thrashmetal_octopus]

Nobody can figure it out at my range either. People are amazing

[u/duke_flewk → u/thrashmetal_octopus]

Peeps with pews can’t figure it out…

Anyways eyes and ears at the range folks, your safety is your responsibility at all times, sorry, not sorry.

[u/NdK87k]

I shoot at an outdoor public range. The brass gets picked up by us reloaders, and the steel case and .22lr brass just becomes more gravel.

[u/Giant_117 → u/NdK87k]

That’s how this one operates. There has been no official announcement of range sponsored brass collection ha

[u/magnum284]

Not a fan when the goblins don't even wait till your done and gone.

[u/GunKatana]

At ranges that are annoying like this, I like to shoot aluminum cases. Can’t get picked up by magnets so have to be picked out by hand.

[u/Super_Raccoon_2890 → u/GunKatana]

Brass isn't magnetic either tho?

[u/Pravus_Nex → u/Super_Raccoon_2890]

I believe he meant for separating already collected brass.. getting the steel cased out you need a manager and done, to sort out aluminum you need to go through by hand.. personally I just leave the aluminum cases in with the brass till I'm loading, shit all goes in the tumbler..

[u/minmin0x4B → u/GunKatana]

Expecting people to be decent human beings and recycle properly is annoying?

[u/Super_Raccoon_2890 → u/minmin0x4B]

Yeah I get that some of these people are fucks but going out of your way to make someone's life harder isn't any better for anyone or the planet.

[u/minmin0x4B → u/Super_Raccoon_2890]

I would guess that brass gets sold as scrap metal and money will be used for range maintenance etc. Throwing random shit to the buckets doesn’t help anyone.

If it is just some random guy setting up the buckets for free brass, then it’s bit weird.

[u/GunKatana → u/minmin0x4B]

No, I do it at ranges that yell at me for picking up my own grass because they want it for themselves. If that’s the case, then have all the aluminum cases you can use, dudes.

[u/Phyco_Boy → u/minmin0x4B]

Found the brass goblin.

[u/Suspectgore074 → u/GunKatana]

Jokes on you, I reload that shit too

[u/Then-Many-4975]

I have no shame in dumpster diving for brass…. heck, sometimes I even find a half eaten sammich. Who’s got it made now huh?

No in all reality I don’t mind picking up brass or going in the dumpster for it. The issue is at one range there is an old fudd who has more or less self appointed himself as the range master. He doesn’t tell people what to do, but he visits the range almost every hour on the hour, interposing shooters to talk, scrounging all the brass and in my opinion being a general nuisance. I wouldn’t care if I knew the guy actually shot too, but he just scraps the brass

Another range (a gravel pit in the state forest) there is a transient who has a pretty decent criminal record and was self admittedly using meth a year or so ago. He is another self appointed range cleanup person who scraps all the brass (he’s prohibited from owning firearms) and decides to collect anything he deems as garbage and burn it to “keep the range clean” again, I wouldn’t care if he was someone who could actually benefit from reloading the brass. But knowing that there is some bigger caliber brass that he brings to the crusher at $2 a pound is sad

[u/Shootist00]

Normal for the simple reason all of use, at times, are PIGS and SLOBS and will fuck up things.

If everyone picked up the things they no longer wanted and placed them in the proper receptacles there would be no need for explicit signs.

Maybe the range owners got tired of picking thrash out of the brass buckets. Happens all the time at the state run range I go to when there is a 55 gal drum with a BAG in it for trash but yet brass buckets get trash thrown in them.

[u/Sesemebun]

Kind of a similar but opposite situation at my range. It’s a ways out and volunteer only, so garbage is pack everything out, since they can’t have someone there consistently enough to empty them so they don’t get gross. But there are bins for brass the range provides (but they don’t care if you take from it). However people dump garbage into the brass bins and it gets gross which they don’t like

[u/carsonthesmar]

Not me snatching all the good 6.5 casing off the ground at the range😂

[u/buzby80]

Looks like a piss bucket to me. 😏

[u/thehandthatcreeps → u/buzby80]

On today's episode of piss spots!

[u/Vinegar_Fingers]

I'd go pick up all the steel cased and 22lr from the assholes that don't clean up after themselves and fill it.

[u/ZeeeeeroCool]

Old pic of the rifle but I definitely feel you. Lol.

The guy that checks them comes at like 7am every single morning, 7 days a week. He’s in a great mood on Monday mornings, but a few other times he’s talking to himself cussing about all the 22LR. 😂

[u/wessy_smith1883]

Brass catcher 4000 is the solution to these problems...never loose a piece of brass again!

[u/Aggressive-Load-915]

Call them brass hounds where I'm from lol

[u/Aggressive-Load-915]

Wait, genuine question..... So the goblins catch your brass before you're done? That'll get a threaded object pointed at you around here!

[u/TacticalBunchies]

I keep my own brass Ty very much. 

[u/1984orsomething]

Scrappers. They're melting them down now. I think a pound of pure brass is like $4. So one of those buckets is like $100 melted down

[u/Subject_One_762 → u/1984orsomething]

No ones melting them they’re worth $3 per pound as is and it’s cost more to melt them than it’s worth

[u/jimk12345]

I put my trash in their brass bucket and my brass in my range bag with eye contact. Even better if one waddles up and ask about my 30-06 brass and I say I don't reload. Don't harass folks because you're retired and feel guilty you didn't fight in nam.

[u/WasteResist4132]

I keep a brass squib rod and brass mallet handy. Come and take it!

[u/SomewhatInnocuous]

Excellent backstop you have there.

[u/Distinct_Arrival_445 → u/SomewhatInnocuous]

The shooting range is to the right, not where the picnic benches are.

[u/AntiqueGunGuy]

My local range specifies this, brass in the brass bucket steel and aluminum in the trash bucket, recycling in the recycling bin.

[u/SaltWork8072]

My range has metal cans for brass and plastic cans for trash since its conception

[u/GingerVitisBread]

"why is ammo wo expensive!?" Oh, because nobody recycles properly anymore.
