Cleaning/work stand for long rifles

[Nathan Ripley]

I saw a pattern for a cleaning and work stand for long rifles and I have forgot where. I was wanting to build one now that I have a long rifle. The stand was about chest high and free standing. It had an open box shelf for your junk as well. Any help?

There are some threads on the adjacent gunbuilders forum on this, including photos of the one I built using plans graciously shared by Bill of the 45th Parallel. Take a spin over there. I would not be without mine.

I carry this ML range box which has a bottom that extends forward and has crescent shaped gun holders, ball notches, ramrod L shape and a short starter hole.

There is a bit of wood to mount it onto a table and keep it from sliding back due to the weight of hte guns. The top is a hinged flap with a readily available latch and chain. The corners are finished with brass corner protectors.

The inner compartment is high enough for powder cans and has a special divider for that purpose as well. There is another divider purely for strength.
