    Anyone have a favorite vendor or local source for steel? I want to buy a couple 3/8" ar-500 gongs w/ accessories for hanging, etc.

    Thanks.

    google is your friend, I am not.
    I used to buy 1/2 size silhouettes from CTS targets, but I cannot recommend them. I have had two crack with what I consider light use. The round gongs are fine. I bought a 1/2 size from SI Targets from SI targets, seems to be a better design (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072PTSGPT/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

    Amazon, shootsteel.com, CTS targets, SI Targets (both of which sells stuff on amazon now) and shootingtargets7.com are some places that sell decent gongs and hangars, including some hostage targets. Although.. as I said, the CTS hangars,gongs are fine but the silhouette targets have a design flaw.

    I also have issues with CTS. I have cracked 4 3/8" gongs with 30 cal. I asked them to fabricate 8" 1/2" AR500 and now they sell them. I only shoot 3/8" with .30 carbine and lesser caliber.
    I switched to 1/2" gongs and they have held up well against .30-8MM rounds.

    Shootingtargets7. com not local but great products at reasonable prices. They run absolutely unbelievable sales every holiday. I have placed 5 or 6 orders from them over several years, all targets are still in use with no problems. Fast delivery, great products, reasonable prices.
