My brother has a steel fabrication company that also makes and sells steel targets. Steel cost varies, but the last time he bought a 4'x8' sheet of 3/8" AR500 its was around $25 per sq ft. You're definitely getting a good deal since it sounds like they'd just be scrapping it anyway.

Considering that a 10x10 1/2" square would cost you ~$50+shipping I would say that is a good price. Pending their scrap is big enough to make useable targets.

You need to make sure that it's American made AR500, not Chinese. We got a "deal" on some AR500 that didn't last a match that was cheap because it was Chinese and learned that the standards are different.

It's not Chinese, thanks for the heads up. The only thing I'm wandering is if welds will hold up to shots. I am going to basically try to just piece together some full size targets from smaller pieces. Unfortunately, this would make them one sided. I don't plan on shooting them closer then 100 yards as I have other targets for that.

I sell AR plate for a living to the mining industry (what it was designed for) |

Welding it will alter the heat treating and hardness.
Not that you can't weld them but I would expect they won't be as durable as they were before. |
