So, as many of you are aware, I design and sell AR500 targets for fun and profit. Saturday, I picked up a load of my laser cut goodness, mostly dueling tree parts. My vendor had a pallet of mild steel plates that were drops (waste) from another laser project for someone else, and they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Namely, buy the drops from them and have everything loaded with the forklift, or I would have to load my AR order by hand. One hand, mind you, as I'm still recovering from hand surgery. Having family as a vendor can lead to hilarity, can't it?
As a result, I now have 40 1/2" thick 11" diameter round plates (13.5 lbs), and 39 3/4" thick 7" diameter plates (8.2 lbs).
Each plate has a 1/2-3/4" cut in one edge where the laser penetrated. Hardly noticeable, but if you're using it to make something water/air tight, you'll notice.
While lots of people use mild steel as pistol targets (rifles will mess it up fast), I don't sell mild steel for targets other than 22LR. So, these are not being sold as targets.
They are being sold for:
Boat anchors
Heavy duty dinner plates
Mounting plates for things that need mounting
Pavers
Terrible Frisbee
Active participants in tragic boating accidents
Price:
$8/ea for the seven inch rounds
$12/ea for the eleven inch round
Sales tax included (I'm a business, apparently)
Yes, I will happily sell them to you cheaper if you buy more than five.
Local pickup (Reno), or will ship USPS flat rate up to 65 lbs for $17.45 (actual shipping cost). If you order targets from me, and want some mild steel to play with, let me know and we'll work something out.
