    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Not knowing How to weld I would say stay away from used machines.

    Even experienced people over look machines not working Correct.

    Then cry they should be fixed for free.

    By far the worst one I recall was one someone bought a suit case Feeder described as a Suit Case Welder.

    That got real ugly The seller really had no idea what they had.

    Quick and easy

    And the cut quality right off the table; mind you I already had some cuts and pierces on these consumables

    Plenty big at 6" which means even a basic hunting rifle on iron sights will suffice since you only need 3-4 MOA anyway

    However, anyone that actually knows me or has bought stuff from me before knows that ain't enough :anonymous:

    AR500 would be ideal ar 1/2" but no, just good ol' mild steel which I hope he uses .22lr or .22mag with

    He just needs to not use FMJ is going 5.56; ball round like .45, 9mm, .380, etc would all be perfect for that as well but at the range of 25 yards or so

    Always nice hearing that "ting"

    I haven't shot .22lr in many years but this used to be my trainer

    Donated my original Blackstone griddle to our academy firearms range and wanted to make sure none of the other agencies tried to claim it as theirs. I don't think it came out too bad for freehand.
