I'd bet they're being sold out of DRMS as scrap, which would be by the pound. I'll have to do some looking.

yeah, they aren't really sold out of the DRMO I don't think. (ammunition management is one of the very fun things I do for the Army)
I can just imagine one of those fun little checkpoints:
what are you doing in California?
Just turning in these rocket launchers for cash.
I used to manage an ammo account, and all of our expended brass, dunnage, and cans were turned in, sent to DRMO, and sold as scrap. I saw 40mm Bofors casings, all sorts of things included in scrap. Heck, I saw a crashed F-16 sold as "Mixed aluminum and steel scrap".
to be fair, I've seen a box full of old uppers and things sold as scrap aluminum.
big boxes of old M4 stocks and what-not sold as scrap plastic.
It's all good. Thought I would get my posts to 200 tonight.
I saw a box of "Scrap canvas" at one DRMO auction. I watched a buddy of mine buy it. And I was the happy recipient of a whole crapload of canvas double M-14 mag pouches. And a couple of the old canvas 4-20 round pouches. But this was years ago.
