So a few of you asked for it and here it is.
I run a Laser Machining shop where we use lasers to cut steel and plastics and so on. I ran a group buy on another forum that went really well and I am going to run another one here and on a couple of other forums.
Here is the deal: I have to get enough orders to cut all of a 48"x 120" sheet of 1/2" thick AR500 steel. AR500 is the same armor plate steel that the military uses, it will hold up to repeated hits from 300 mag ammo with full metal jacket bullets without marking the steel at all. Softer steels will crater and then when you hit a crater and it will spit lead back at you! These will not have those issues. Anyways I have to get enough orders to cover a sheet or it is a no go. The steel costs me about $1.50 per pound and a sheet that is 4'x10' weighs about 825 pounds! I am not trying to make money on this, I am covering material cost and some for cutting costs on a $500,000 laser.
The plates are available in square and round shapes and have 2 .750" dia holes to hang the plates from. I bolt chains to the back and hang them from #6 rebar saw buck racks. Hanging the plates from the back angles the plate slightly down, enough that all most all of the lead splatters down into the ground below the targets. Very simple.
Please email me at bfowler@wescolaser.com to ask questions and make orders. This is because I am going to run this on a couple of boards. I will NOT order any material or cut any steel until I have enough checks in hand to cover the material costs. I shipped last time in US Post Office flat rate boxes for $11.95 for up to 70 pounds, worked very well.
Prices are as follows:
6" round $19.27ea 6" Square $20.23ea
8" round $28.13ea 8" Square $29.41ea
9" round $31.62ea

12"x18" square $87.83ea
USPSA full sized target $227.83ea
IPSC International Target $125.53ea
Also I have the .250" rack end supports that hold the saw buck up available for you to make your own stand for sale. You will simply need to add your own 1" .120" wall square tubing cut to 4' long with 2 3/8" holes drilled in the end. One gets two bolts and one gets just one, when not in used they fold down into a tidy little package for storage. Two set of legs and the cross bar of rebar can be carried in one hand easily and carried and set up where ever you like in about 60 seconds.
End plate pair $15.00 per set.
These target will literally last for years and years, I will be happy to give references. Start with Rob Leahy with Simply Rugged Holsters.
