Where can you buy Kydex?

[EX CATM]

I want to make a cheek rest for my M1A and a mag pouch and would like to form them out of kydex. Does anyone know where you can buy a sheet of it?

www.knifekits.com has some sheath kits that would be enough to do a mag pouch. I'd search for any knife supply place


editted to fix the link, sorry

Was looking for something somewhat unrelated, but thought I'd resurect this thread and chime in because I just went through this.

I wanted to make a kydex cheek rest for my new M1A, and knew I could do it myself for less than the ones on the market. I thought it would be easy to find a small sheet of kydex, but I couldn't find anything more than .06" or .092" thick. Fine for making knife sheaths, but not thick enough for my cheek rest project.

I called lots of places local to me, and of the few that had it, they only wanted to sell me a $150+ 4'x8' sheet.

Finally, I got the bright idea to check ebay. Again, nothing there thick enough, but I emailed all the sellers to see if they had something thicker.

One did, and I ended up with a nice 12"x12" black sheet, .187" thick, for $15 after shipping.

The company is Harva Plastics, at http://harva.com/ and http://stores.ebay.com/Harva-Plastics. Amber was helpful and got everything done and in the mail within a couple days. Write them at inquiries@harva.com and/or ebaysales@harva.com.

I just Typed "Kydex Sheet" into a Google search and came up with this place:

http://www.professionalplastics.com/cgi-bin/main/co_disp/displ/prrfnbr/85410/sesent/00/Kydex-%C2%AE-T-Sheet

But they have a $500 minimum order.

This place has no minimum.
