very nice.  the only thing i can see is that i think 5.56 can cut through those chains.  Did you weld the chains or are they bolted onto the frame? 

nice work man! can u post pics after you blast those things... iʻd like to see how AR500 holds up

I use wood for the frame that holds my gong. They only last 4-5 trips to the range as the wood gets shredded by the shrapnel. I would get one of your single gong frames if you ever decide to sell them.

The chains are bolted to the frame via a u-bolt, all of which are easily replaceable should you completely miss the gong and tag the chain, frame, or the u-bolt. The frame is mild steel and it is very easy to plug weld your misses that will likely just punch a clean hole through the mild steel. I can plug weld those back up. The joints are welded on all the seams, so I do not see these falling apart even under heavy use.

K thought these out pretty well, came over with the materials and we cut them and I welded them up. Having built a custom jeep from the ground up, I found the labor of building these light and rather enjoyable. It was good to strike an arc again, it has been a few years since i had run a bead (thanks K!).

They are light give the material they are made from and should stand up to YEARS of use.  I may stop out there tomorrow and see if some how some of my hotter 5.56 loads do against the AR-500. 

I've shot my AR500 targets with .308 and 7.62x54 and they barely make a mark.

I went and bought the Caldwell rifle gong target a couple months ago.  Took it out once and shot at it at 100 and 200 respectively; so far its taken everything I can throw at it.  The tubular frame is nice until you shoot it, buta s long as you hit the target and not the frame it should last a long time.  Heres a picture when new out of the box, and of the gong after being shot a couple times.  Nice for $125 + shipping.

My best estimate for building one frame would be $75.

I'll start the bid at..... 

 

Looks like they fit right into the slots out at the range. Is it a bitch to carry? That looks waaaay more fun than hitting paper! Gf would definitely enjoy it more. hehe.

I would 1st in line for a frame at that price.
