Portable Gun Rack
« on: May 06, 2011, 09:14:06 AM »
I would like to have a portable gun rack to take to the range (a.k.a. my deck)  to hold long guns.  Something simple, but nice.  I found exactly what I was looking for here....  http://www.thekooz.com

Anyone use one of these, or have design ideas?  I plan on saving some cash by building this myself.

Been thinking I needed something like that.
I'd add some wheels and a strap where I could drag them from my truck to the line.

Would'nt that make it look like you were golfing,just kiddin. Would be nice to have something like that and it don't look to difficult to make. Instead of cutting the wood out for the barrel one could use those plastic things with the loops that come in about 12-18 inch long for holding fish poles,they are made to be  screwed onto a building or dock.

I like the design and materials used.  Only for my own use I would make a pocket on the bottom to hold the stock in place better.  Then I would use felt on the top to protect the barrel.  I would also devise a means of locking the barrels in place.  I would either put casters on the bottom or wheels on the back legs so it would roll.  Then it would truly be portable.

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
