billet CNC Ammo Box

[dabeechman]

Finished it up last night. Made an aluminum tray or insert that locates the rounds and it is bolted to the box with 2 counterbored 6-32 screws.

YIKES!!!!!! it just keeps getting better and better!!!!

How many rounds will it hold when completed? Do you have a ballpark price yet?

It holds 50 rounds. The next page shows it set up with 50 6.5's.

Ball park price is $150-$165.

It looks SO good on my desk. If only I had somebody that was interested in getting one, haha. Kidding. I am buying parts to make 8 of them. I think that's enough?

That looks like a jewellery box with all the ammo in it. So one could not in all good conscious put rounds in a box like that without ensuring they are as polished as the box itself. It just wouldn't look right otherwise.

What is the final weight of the box without the rounds in it?
It appears to stand proud of the table, is there rubber feet under it?

Beautiful work, my compliments to you sir.

As Chris mentions, actual demand can dry up fast. An option might be to require non refundable deposits [for something like this I could imagine 50% deposit] and, at least initially, limit sales and production [and, hence inventory of materials] so, financially, you're not over exposed. This also would give your customers a chance to evaluate how many they actually want/need. Basically, mutually agreeing to go one step at a time.

After a while, the ongoing demand for the ammo box might become clearer.

I’ll buy one. After all I’ve spent on rifles, scopes, rests, annealing machines, fancy presses, custom dies, neck turning lathes, etc., it’s shameful to store my ammo in a $5 plastic box.

Love it! Would like to see 100 round one if possible.

Yes I would buy one.

That is a great example of craftsmanship and attention to the fe details.
I am impressed with your work.

I appreciate the genuine concern guys, I do.

When I make these things, I make them for myself and then occasionally somebody likes what I made for myself, and then they want them too.

So in saying that, if I sell some...awesome, appreciate that others like my work enough to ask for one. But if I don't sell any, that's OK too because it was just something I made initially for myself. Going to the range or an event with something nobody has ever seen or heard of before always has that "cool factor". That was kind of how my bullet trays came about. I made some for myself because I needed them, and they got a little popular.

As for a 100rd box, it'd be massive, but I like where your head is at and we should get in contact...haha.

I agree it's a nice box as is. 100 rd. would be kind of on the big side.

That is a real bargain for anything that size made of billet

I like 100 because that's what I take for F class match.
