wwlefty Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 The "AR" drawer is officially finished! I took the wooden rack I made, spray painted it black and then lined it with 1/4" thick foam using spray adhesive. I think it turned out great, the foam padding holds the stocks snug so the rifle doesn't move or lean over but not too tight to insert or remove them.

DNP Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Looks like lots of room underneath them...maybe some magazine storage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there's a lot of room underneath. I'm thinking about tool kit and other items like stripped uppers and lowers under there. If I store something too heavy in there the sheet metal sags and the bottom of the drawer rubs on the door opening. I should have added a little more clearance in there but hindsight is 20/20. I'll probably shim the frame up in the future but for now it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwlefty Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I finished up a pistol holder in the left upper corner using a 12 pistol holder from hyskore. I would like to have some kind of magazine mounting system on the right side but I've run short on time for this project between work and coaching my son's travel baseball team. She's not quite finished yet but she's on hold for a while, probably until summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where he got it but it's great. Not having to try to put your ground clamp on a piece you're trying to weld and have the clamp twist and distort it, so nice. The smaller holes are all threaded, so nice to help stabilize stuff and weld free hand it makes little projects like these go so much faster. I worked for a half hour and we had cocktails for two hours the wife was none the wiser lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
