History of Surplus Ammo

This week marked the 169th Birthday of Francis Bannerman, a pioneer of selling military gear and surplus ammo.

Surplus ammunition is extra ammo that has become available to parties beyond the original contract recipient – often a government. Sometimes the ammo has become obsolete due to age, weapons systems changes, or a variety of other reasons. When this happens, governments are able to recoup a portion of their expense by selling this ammo as surplus.
