| No, not body armor. I'm looking for some relatively cheap plates I can turn into hanging targets. I just got done with my Grendel build minus glass and want to start ringing steel. |

AR500 and cheap, don't really go together I make quite a few targets, last 4x8x3/8" I bought was somewhere around $850-$900.00. then you have cutting and waste to add on. then labor for some sort of frame work. I don't think he needs a 4x8 slab of AR500... |

I just ordered mine from here. https://shootingtargets7.com/store/ Prices seem better than most and shipping is pretty good $12.83 for about 50lbs of plates. They even threw in a free target for me. |

Call your local metal supplier, and ask him what it would cost. I have mine cut locally, and it doesn't break the bank. No freight, and they are usually done the same day. Could be a start. Look for any metal fab/machine shops that sell metal. |

Check your local metal shops. There's always end pieces and other "scrap" that they sell here for 25% off. AR500 plate isn't light and shipping is a bitch too.

Every so often they run sales advertised on a few forums (highroad) and take about 25% off their prices |
