JHenze646 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 With the future rebirth of FBBC right around the corner, I am trying to figure out an intelligent order of bending stock. I understand all metal varies and have looked at some of the calibrations here & Az grip. Generally speaking would the progression go round to hex to square? Where would stainless square and hex fit in relation to the next size of CRS, i.e. 1/4 ss sq. to 5/16 CRS? If this has already been discussed or I am looking at the data wrong or not seeing something, please redirect me. I appreciate all the help the board offers. Thanks for the help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ Livesey Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't waste my time with 1/4" SS square. It's too easy. I'd go CRS round, hex at 5/16. After I mastered or certed those the SS round and hex will be next. The CRS square is a bitch and the 5/16 SS is a huge bitch. You got this bro.

Is there something between 1/4 sqr crs and the 5/16 round crs worth bending? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me I'd just buy L. If you're looking to just buy from fbbc G5 or g8 1/4 x 7". G5 for lots of volume then g8 to build strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
