Yes! Do not attempt to shoot them. Send them to me and, as a certified small-arms ammunition disposal service provider, I'll render them safe for you. :coolgleamA:



Seriously, unless the rounds have been greatly abused, 1992 production should be perfectly happy hurling their contents downrange for you. I routinely buy milsurp ammo manufactured in the '80s. Almost all modern, non-corrosive ammo should have a long shelf-life if not exposed to solvents, direct contact with moisture, or lengthy stretches of very high humidity.
