Summary
Made from up-cycled and 3D printed parts the stand can be used for maintenance, zeroing and as a shooting rest.
Built around a Remington Airacobra Air rifle the stand should work on most rifles with little or no modifications.
All 3D files including FreeCAD files included so parts can be modified as required.

How I Designed This
Design Details
I wanted to build a functional yet cheap stand, so bar the 3D filament all other items were sourced from spares or junk bin from my workshop.
The rifle is held firmly in place with quick release clamps fitted with rubber jaws on the front and rear of the stock.
Front adjustment is via a wheel mounted jack and rear adjustment by a metal slide locked with thumb thumbscrews.
Adjustable feet provide leveling for the stand.
A tool box/pellet store is mounted on the center of the rear hardwood support.

Front View
Insides of front and rear clamps are lined with rubber cut from an old bicycle inner tube.
The base of the clamps are lined with a ring of bicycle inner tube filled with a small bit of foam for padding.

Rear View with tool/ammo box closed. Details on the tool/ammo box to follow.

Side View showing tool box fixing. Lifting the red lever on the left of the box releases it.

Wooden Parts
The main frame and wooden mounting blocks are cut from an old mahogany door step I had laying around.
I have used a glued and screwed halving joint to fix them together.
Hardwood is recommended as I have tapped most bolts directly into the timber rather than using wood screws.
Threaded nut inserts could be used instead.
The front timber rail is 310x48x27mm
The rear timber rail is 450x48x27mm
The front timber block is 70x48x27mm
The rear timber block is 80x48x27mm
The following images show hole location for the major parts.
Note hole sizes not shown as these may vary depending on the hardware fitted.



Adjustment wheel and handle bearing detail.
The bearing outer shell is glued in place in the wheel allowing the handle to rotate on the inner bearing ring.

Scissor Jack
The scissor jack provides the adjustable lift for the fore end of the rifle.
I had this old jack laying around in my garage for decades.
I managed to clean it up and sprayed it matt black.
This jack only has a single pivot on top so tends to lean to one side when raising and lowering.
Newer and better designs have a double pivot on the top.
The image below shows the top of the jack has already been removed.

Quick Relases
The quick release levers were old bicycle adjustable seat post.
The black cap was removed and the thread screwed into the front and rear blocks.
You will need to experiment with hole sizes for you type of wood or use metal screw inserts.
