I have two old 12oz tanks. Been sitting mostly full for I don’t know, 20 years? Were the 12ozers exempt? At any rate I want to empty them. I’d like to shoot them empty but not sure if the contents would be rusty, crusty or otherwise too dirty to put through a marker at this point. What do y’all think?

If the OD is under 2" they should be exempt.💀 PK x Ragnastock 💀 -
I doubt they are any good anymore. All of the 12 oz bottles I've seen/used have an outside diameter of >2 inches so not exempt.
If the are aluminum 12 oz bottles there shouldn't be any corrosion/dirt to worry about more then what they were filled with.

Are they steel or aluminum? (a picture with a stamping on the shoulder would help)
you can always add an in-line filter to the gun if you're worried about it.
I would drain them and do visual inspection fo the inside if you know what to look for. Next step would be hydrotesting/x-day/ultrasound for crack detection.
If you're really worried about it, don't use them ... stay safe.Love my brass ... Love my SSR ... Hard choices ...

I’d use them to target practice with all my junk paint and then chuck them in the bin. New ones are roughly $34 shipped (quick eBay check).Comment

They are chromoly afaik. I don’t have any attachment. They have sat since I got my first HPA tank. I just really wanted to know if there was harm in emptying them through a gun in the backyard before I dispose of them.Comment
