AR 500 Steel Buy

[Knuckle Sandwich 5]

Heres a very basic mounting idea. Im going to hang these at easton, they have rebar already there so these will clip right up to it. A stand could also be made and you just clip them to that. Nice and flexible. I didnt waste any time painting my shiney new plates up

 

Is this rebar up the rifle range at Easton? Out at the 100yd mark?

[NickC 23]

Hey Harry, I'll take another 8 inch with holes. PM on the way.

Yep, its spanning inbetween the gaps of the target boards.

Done, see you and Rich at the ID Range at noon, if there was anyone else who was in on the buy and is going to be at the ID range between noon and 1400 today, let me know ASAP, and I'll bring your steel.

I think i might go to the indoor range early to practice DA only with the Sig. My last steel shoot time was depressing.

I imagine shoot these steel plates at the indoor is a no no.

You got it, no steel for personal use at the ID range, single target centered on the target stand and thats it.

 

The only steel is during the indoor events like WCS and there are restriction on ammo use. Frangible ammo, but only when these events are being run.

There is also rebar at the 25yd line at the pistol ranges.

harry, bring my steel to the indoor range, i'll stop in for some shooting sometime between 12 - 2

[SW9racer 262]

I used 5/16" bolts, the holes are 3/8"

 

How long is the chain, looks like about 12" ?

[SpecialK 193]

damn sounds like there will be lots of steel hanging at Easton as that is where I plan on shooting mine.

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

About that, I used 12 links. I dont know the exact link size though. I just wildy guessed as to the best length though, so dont assume I'm right! I figgure too long and it will swing around too much. I used 10 links on the smaller target

Have fun with it, good to see ya and wish I had time to stick around and shoot some more but I had to get back home for 1 more person who is picking up steel and for my daughter to come home from school.

[hd2000fxdl 422]

I see Glenn answered you, but if your hanging steel like he is, take a look, the connector to attach to something can be used on any link, so you can adjust it long or short using any link in the chain, so I would go longer just so you have the flexibility to do whatever you want at the range.

[alec.mc 180]

i'll wait for harry to personally delivery mine to me.

 

k - thx - bye

 

+1000000000000 for harry actually personally delivering my steel. hah

Man i'm jealous of you guys! Stuck at work.

[AverageJoe 95]

Awesome, got my steel via relay with knuckle sandwich...thanks again Dan...and thank you Harry for setting this all up. Only thing, I wish the holes weren't so close together(thats what she said lol). Personally I would of liked each hole down and out another 1/2" to help separate the hardware a lil more...I'm totally not an expert on this, just something I noticed right away when I saw it.

 

[M4BGRINGO 139]

Harry, thanks for the home delivery! Going to clean and paint them tomorrow.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Thanks Harold, I love you!

I would have like to see the spacing on the holes to be a little greater also, however if you make a 2 pronged holder for the steel, you would want one holder that would hold each of the plates no matter what size you had. So with that in mind, the 4" plates pretty much dictated to hole spacing.

No problem Mike, was in the area, and heck If I know you were going to clean and paint them this fast I would have left mine with you..

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Thanks Harold, I love you!

 

No probs Raymond..

[Krdshrk 3,878]

50 yards with a Mosin and PSL nicked it a little, but not bad at all.

[NickC 23]

That was a great lil impromto NJGF meet up. Nick and Alec have quite the arsenal. Thanks again for letting me shoot all your $hit. Oh and Mike, you have to bring out that 44 magpie more often.

[alec.mc 180]

X2, good shooting with nick and nick! Had a great time, gotta do it more often.

 

And yeh, mike- that 44mag of yours is one beautiful peice. Thanks for letting me shoot it

Wow, so the 12" plates have the same hole spacing?

 

Huh? Happen to have a pic of that? I'm thinking of using like a 3" spacer w/a piece of threaded rod thru it between the chains right above the plate, keep the chains separated and help lessen the twisting. Then again, if I hit dead center, there won't be that problem lol.
