Steel gongs

Recommended Posts

I am looking for an AR500 gong that needs to hold up to a .338 Lapua, it probably needs to be 1/2" thick, would like 12-16" circle. Does anyone have a good place to buy one? They look like they vary a lot in price. Any good websites or stores that have them for a reasonable price? I would imagine they would cost a fortune to ship. Anyone have one they want to sell?

Mr. Target. I think if you stay with the 12", he can ship it in a flat rate box and the shipping is not that bad.

 

Edit: Ebay- 47$ shipped for 1/2" x 12"

Targetman.com located in vail with very reasonable shipping.

 

 

3/8" will hold up fine as long as impact velocities are below 2800fps and beyond 100 yards.

i ordered an 18" x 1/2" AR500 plate off ebay for $72. free shipping. comes from a company called TEMCO (tower electric motor company). that's about half of what everyone else is asking. thanks for the heads up HuntHarder

GreyGhost85 looks like you already found what you were looking for...but for future reference here is a place locally that sales gongs. my buddy has one, he wasn't sure it was AR500, but we haven't blown thru it with our 300 rums!

Yes, Industrial metal supply has a stand in the middle of the building with AR500 plate. They even have a finished target that is a big pink pig, stand and all.
