Nooooo 
Take heart, the gong shall return, new, improved, and with brand-new un-dented steel

Did he mention anywhere what that one was made of? He said he's replacing it with AR500......

The old one? No, think it was your basic thick target steel; good enough for pistols, but not for rifle and high-velocity stuff or big stuff like 45-70. The over the hill range for the rifle plates, clearly they can take it. But they all relatively small, so I guessing expensive

I was curious because rifle rounds tend to go right through even thicker steel plates unless they're really high grade. I get scrap 65ksi plates from work and punch holes right through them with an AR or AK.
