Pistol Stand From Scrap
Wife just finished making a pistol loading stand for a friend of ours. All she had
was just a couple of scrap boards and no tools. It is suprising what can be done sometimes. It's not pretty, but it will do what it's supposed to. |

Looks good enough to me that I'd use it as a display stand too.

My loading stand is way uglier than that, made out of plywood and screws.
Also, on my TC Patriot pistol, with great superhuman effort, I successfully resisted the temptation to polish the brass to a bright luster. |

I love to see these things....
....that flow from materials that just happen to be at hand.
I think it lends an air of authenticity becuase I believe that is what our forefathers would have done. Tnx,

Good serviceable design. I have built some for C&R's as well as single shots. If you don't mind, I'm going to copy some of the features that you are showing. Thank you for your post. ....
Be Safe !!!
