Dave.....This new build is is #2. First one was torn down for more machining and
tweaking. The aluminum in question is called "Bar-rectangle". Since the day's of
online supply, I've used "Speedy Metals", "Metals Depot", and this butt stock piece
came from "Online Metals" only because they had the best price and shipping at the
time. I think they go up to 3.5" thick to 12" wide. I may look at having my finalized
parts going thru a 3D printer, but there would be no plans for resale. In the meantime,
I finished a make over of my Bald Eagle rest I've used for years, and depending on
the match, I'll be using my Rod Zilla joy stick rest. I still prefer a knob turner for close in.
