I wasn't thinking extreme precision, but something close to 1 MOA would work for me. I have a Vanguard S2 which is super accurate (enough) so am thinking something different in a different caliber. I can see how the lockup of a lever action is based on the single shot so may not be close to 1...

Looking at Browning B78's and the Winchester single shots rifles and I notice some rifles have one scope mount on the receiver and one on the barrel. There are also single bases available. I thought I have read this isn't the best setup or accurate shooting or does it work okay? If a rifle was...

I am trying to decide on a center fire rifle. 95% of it's usage would be at the range. It's more fun at the range to have something better then hunting accuracy. I have recently been reading about the Browning BOSS system which may produce pretty amazing accuracy. The Weatherby Vanguard S2...

I did not have a good feeling dealing with this company but no one else I contacted would work with anything close to 45 inches long. Yes the coating is very tough, hard to remove, but could be sliced with a knife, or a front sight if you were not careful. More research required. Bill

plastic II Well my first estimate for a plastic version was cost prohibitive at a prototype level. $22K for tooling and each unit was also very expensive in low volume. That technology is still interesting and when I get back from vacation I will continue to research it but it's not going...

working on a plastic version Just to highlight this from a previous reply: I am working on a plastic version of the HandgunStack.

Yes what I used was a plastisol costing which was sprayed on and baked. I was not happy with the company I used but I am okay with the coating and use gun socks. Thicker would of been nicer but they said thick coatings don't hold up. If I continue with metal I need to find someone else...

Before the sheet metal samples I spoke to a plastics engineer. Probably too complex to be molded in one piece and if you could do it the mold would be multiple 5 figures and the press would have to be monstrous (as in tons of pressure) ! We discussed assembling the unit and at the time it...

bruzer, If the wood interior of your safe will hold a small screw then my latching system will work fine. Something like 700 people have read this info among the two web forums I have posted to and I have not found anyone with the wood barrel racks like a Browning safe interested in trying one...

A small manufacturing run of just about anything is crazy expensive. I first thought of plastic, but the molds are again crazy money for just a few items. I like the heaviness and strength of metal. Plastic is still a possibility, and solves some problems but would not be as robust. The...

Each shelf has a step for the trigger guard, but for smaller or lighter pistols you could place it deeper in the shelf, or place a small block in the step and then maybe hold a small/light pistol better. Weight-wise, what I had in there for the pictures felt stable. The top, left revolver...

BTW bruzer, what is inside your safe? Any barrel racks? Carpet? Felt? etc.? Is it a real safe or some kind of heavy cabinet where a hole could be drilled? Bill

The shelves are at a pretty steep angle and the barrel can protrude out the back of the unit, so I have designed it as flexible as I can. The picture looks much better with naked guns but I have everything in a silicon sock. I have read too many auction descriptions about "ANIB except...

At the moment I only have 6 units. Having small production runs is insanely expensive! The paint shop dropped 3 in the paint oven so I have 3 in pretty good condition, 2 in useable condition and the last one is a mess. I have a latch system that works perfect in my Stack-on, I think it...

Handgun Stack ™ Patent Pending Hello, I have been working on a new pistol rack design for gun safes to store handguns in a vertical set of shelves that will fit in a safe in the same space as a long gun. The current prototype is 45 inches tall, made of riveted steel with a vinyl...
