I saw a steel target base that uses angle iron. 1.5" , 1/4" thick. Does anyone know where to purchase angle irons in the monmouth or ocean county area?

Less than 4 feet can be found at Lowes or Home Depot.

there is a big steel supply right down by the rt 34 circle IIRC

 

Edit

 

Fazzio's I think

I may have a few hundred feet laying around here, if Plainfield isn't too far send me a PM with quantity

Grimmer in Shrewsbury should have it.

Yep it's Fazzio's. A lot cheaper than Home Depot too.

I used o get all my metal from Fazzios in Glassboro. Did not know they were North also.

Another vote for Joseph Fazzio's in Cross Keys.  Forget Home Depot.  Steel at HD is 5x or more the cost at Fazzio's.

 

They'll sell full lengths (20' or 22') or will cut what you want. 

 

They can also shear, punch, plazma cut, brake, etc. to make whatever you want.  I fax a sketch to them with dimensions, they fax it back with a price written on it.  I write "approved, please call when complete" and I get a call a couple of days later to pick up my stuff.

 

The hardware store is worth the visit too - industrial stuff you won't find anywhere else.   Surplus equipment and tools are also cool.  Disney World for manly men.

Fazzio's also carries AR500 plate as well as targets already cut.

Wow thanks for all the info guys. I think i'll be getting in touch with fazzio's, just got one of these guys...

That I did not know.

 

How are their pricing compared to dedicated target companies?

Nice

ya i thought it was pretty nice too, they sell bases for 50 bux as well...

 

The base is nice also....

its actually an ok deal. it comes all welded together for 150, the stand is 50, then you buy the iron.  Im still going to check with Grimmer in Shrewsbury first because its right near my house.

I doubt anyone will beat the price Glenn can get it at

 

I used to get mine from McElroy in Piscataway years ago -- knew the shop foreman quite well...

 

The big shops get it way cheaper than we can

I picked up a 10" round plate for $40.

Thats not bad

I got 3-8" and a 12" from glennp for 95$. Ar 500 steel. How bout that. Glenn still has some left. Glennp on this forum.

Pro'lly not as cheap as Fazzio's but there's always McMaster Carr.

Yarde Metals, EMJ Metals, Metal Stock, Online Metals. East Coast Steel, Fazzio. I dont know your exact local but these places are all over NJ and PA. In some cases you may be able to get the angle in alloy steel rather than 1018. Also dont discount bed frames. They are alloy steel (like a spring temper)  and much stronger than the average 1018 you will find at HomeDepot or Fazzio.
