No delivery. You have to "demil" (de militarize) them on the spot. 50
pounds EACH times 22,000 of them is 28 fully loaded semi trailers full.

They weigh as much as a complete Big Boy steam engine.

It's going to be interesting who does finally buy them, and what they do
with them. Anyone with this knowledge, please keep us posted.

1.1 million pounds, 22,000 pieces. 90 days to complete the jobs. How
many band saws would you need?

The mill spec sheet lists an oxy fuel torch as an acceptable method
but my experience is cutting a hollow cylinder with a torch sucks.

After the shells are cut "they" will move then to a new pile, then
load them into your trucks in lots of 40,000 lbs.

Thank You,
Randy
