Stand?

[Smokey Plainsman]

Anyone ever use a stand for a cap n ball revolver? I’d like one so I can load from the flask into a separate charger and then charge the gun safely without having to lay the gun down every single time.

Anyone make these?

I made several folding loading stands with a piece of walnut, a fancy brass hinge and a bit of felt. Not much to it and it does work quite well.

When not in use, the upright folds down making it easy to fit into a shooting box.

By the way, this stand was made for a Remington so the Whitney doesn't quite fit it like it should.
It does work with the pistol though.

My stand is a little more complicated than @Zonie's.

The insert can be removed and the stand easily used for revolvers or pistols. The sections are good for sorting caps, balls and accessories. There is a shelf with holes for a funnel and loading rods.

These are a few that I have made.

This one I made years ago I gifted it to a buddy he's gone now RIP Frank.

This is the other side.

Pretty ingenious.

Incredible, guys! I would like to buy one.

I’ve read a lot of bad reports on that one. They say it’s flimsy and the hinge is weak.

Thoughts?

Yeah the hinge may not be the sturdiest out there I guess. Never got around to replacing it like I said I'm lazy. I use a cylinder loading press for the most part now....

Are there any plans out there for a stand like this? I like how small it is for traveling to the range. Seems easy enough to make, just curious if there's plans readily available. They also seem pretty cheap to buy premade for around $15 on Dixie.

I’d kill for one of these stands guys.
