check material group buy

[Gunslinger1911]

Cross post from group buy discussion ........ posted here to get more interest

Hello all,

A couple of people have asked about a buy for some aluminum strip from yonky. I got some for my 45PB - works great. 100' of 0.006 was very reasonable - I figure a large buy will save a bunch of postage if nothing else. Also great for people who don't need 100'+ at the moment.

Post here or in pm, how much and what width you would like. Also what caliber making for - I'd like to see how much variation there is in same caliber check makers

This is just a feeler - with a rough idea yonky could give us his best price.

I'll move to "active" when we have some solid numbers.

You'd probably get more interest in a group buy of .014-.016 material. Six thou is pretty thin. Great for .22's and 6mm, .357 cal.

I would be interested in:

.011 for .357, approx .5 width


.015, .016 for .44 , approx .6 width

Thanks Bob

Thanks guys,

I was mainly thinking of plain base checks (what my use is) , 006 seems to be good.

I'll sure keep track of thicker stock also - might give us a bigger buy - better discount !
