I will be in the Dallas Fort Worth area next week. Do you know of a place I can buy "drops" of material ?

Aluminum, mild steel, cast-iron, hard plastic and stainless?

Square, round, or flat stock anything that is less than 3 feet long or 4 inches thick would be considered.

I'm trying to build up my stash of raw material but as you know shipping is a deal killer. So since I will be in the big city with time to kill I thought I’d try to load up on material while I’m there
 
CDC Products on Beltline in Richardson. A veritable treasure trove of ‘stuff’ from misc raw stock to tooling. Closed on Sunday/Monday.

Thanks for the tip. I've also found this place https://www.metalsupermarkets.com/plano/

What I'd really like to find is a scrap yard that would let me pick thru the machine shop loads and buy what I want by the pound.
My local yards won't do that :-(
 
Ahh yes Metal Supermarkets. I buy from them in emergencies only; pretty high prices.
There’s a small scrapyard in Plano on Avenue K I believe. Not sure what their policy on ‘rummaging’ is though. Several big yards in Dallas, but I’d imagine them less than friendly to dig around in. But may be worth a shot.

Good find. I haven’t heard of them.
I can look through my shorts barrels Monday and see what I have.

This is a good thread. I'd like to know if anyone has any leads in Omaha, NE?

This might be a good sticky subject. Would be helpful to many of us I'd think.

Didn't mean to de rail the OP's thread.
