Budget rifle cleaning stand.

@414gates @414gates 1 year ago

I wanted a second stand to clean rifles on, and I was a little taken aback by what they cost now.

This is made from what I had lying around, I did go buy the 1 meter lengths of steel tube, the endcaps for it and the 75mm square wood.

Very nice design, consider it stolen. All I'll add is a pair of those ball end rubber bonnet catches like they used on Baja bugs for holding shotgun barrels

@414gates @414gates OP

The wood is glued together, before held with coach screws.

All pieces are supported, so there is no torque when the rifle is heavy.

View of under-side.

Very neat. Have rethought the bonnet catch idea. Am rather going to have a hinged curved arm on the top with rubber on its inside edge. Will have it pivoting on a thumbscrew so that it can be secured against the top of the shottie barrel/s.
