Steel Targets

[live2hunt]

I started out making these for myself, then my shooting buddies started asking for them… you get the story. I am posting this to see what kind of interest there would be on NWF for me to spend a weekend building them for others.

The Details

10X12 ½ inch thick AR400 steel plate, target is about center mass in height. The rest is self explanatory from the photos. I have shot this plate with a 44mag & 7.62x39 with no damage.they do not spin, just deflect rounds down. 223 will put a small dent/pock mark in the steel but would take a long time to destroy.
I can build them out the door for around 80 bucks, (depending on steel prices +or- a few dollars)
Let me know if you would like one and depending on the response, I will make some more.

Can you make other shapes? I would be interested in 8" rounds, pepper popper shapes or silhouette shapes. I'm not looking for knock-downs or swingers; just a static target that goes "clang" when hit.

I can have my fab guy cut any shape but I don't know about $$$. I am just looking to make the target shown for now due to cost,time,exc... Thanks

Do you own a metal business? If so, I will be interested in 12x12 AR500 or AR550 steel. Let me know price?

Another looking into 8" plates.

I'd buy one in 10x12! I'd prefer an 8x8 plate though. would it be possible to purchase a 24''x24'' plate from you?

Frame won't bend ?

I have not hit the frame with a rifle round, but my guess is that a centered hit may bend it. pistol rounds leave a mark, but nothing major.

I do not own a metal business, just a guy who did not want to spend $150 on steel targets, so i made my own. after making a bunch of them for friends, i posted here to see if people wanted some.

only building the one you see for now, could build 8x8 if enough people wanted them.

I am interested in a target if you are taking orders. What would the turn around time be?

they can be built in a few days, but i need to have enough buyers to make it cost effective to build them

 

[Ian1816]

Ok. Put me down for one and let me know if you get enough people

 

[im566]

Put me down for one also...

 

[tomlikeaidp]
