Here at work I have access to a lot of free stuff. I was looking at a server rack today and was thinking about making some riffles out of it. Here are some pictures of what I'm looking at. It's 6' long so it could be cut several times to make enough for a whole box. Thoughts or concerns? The silver price on the rack is what I'm looking at. The cavity in it runs the whole length and is 2.5" deep.

That punch plate looks like it might come in handy too.
 

the puch plate has "waves" in it, on the back side of the rack is flat though. im sure i can use it for something

I should add that we are about to throw 19 of these racks away.
 

The sides are steel for sure. but most of the ones we are scrapping dont even have sides to them ><
 

yep, i use one at home as a gun cabinet lol
 

Yep, makes good punch plate. I got a couple from work for a future project.
 

Ugh i want to! But with 2 maxed out credit cards and me the sole income, a BGT doesnt seem like its going to be in my future anytime soon. UNLESS i get gold like i posted in my "one pan sample" thread every week, its going to be a long while before i can buy one.
 

Yes, yes I know :(. I've got some plexiglass and that punch plate from the pics earlier in this thread at home and thinking of making a fluid bed trap using the punch plate for my grizzlies.
