I use the C&J Machine convertible with an ambi windage top. It can be adjusted for rifle or handgun use.

I did make one modification to it. I put ball rollers under by the leveling screws. It makes much easier repositioning it on my trailbench

sorry, not the best of pics

Welcome to the site onsonek. That's quite a setup on the trailer. I notice the jacks at the back. does it flex much in the middle?

Intresting rest, looks like the rest rids on a rail to adjust it. Looks reall well made too.

Noticed your gun on another thread. That smth you have doing them, is he near you? I don't suppose he does re-bores does he?

Hi Don,
Thanks for the welcome!
That trailer had been sitting around, till I dreamed that up. No, no flex. It use to carry a big 6 cyl. gen.. It is all 3" and 4" channel iron. and my 2" pivot pin is welded to 1/2" plate that is welded and bolted to the frame.
About the only thing steadier is, concrete on the ground!

here's a pic of it in use by some of my buds in WY. pokin fun at PD's



Sorry, I don't believe Mike does rebores. You can email and ask though.

That is a real nice trailer/bench you got there. Bet a fellar could make a pocket full of change selling something like that to other shooters. I havnt seen many "portable" benches as nice as that. Good job.

Thanks WhiskeyJaR
I had thought about going into the MFG. of them. Starting from the ground up, they'd be pretty spendy. But the holsters got me busy enough :D

Welcome onesonek!

I like that trailer setup a lot! We have lots of open country and it would be super to simply bring your bench along and set up instantly. I like it! Hubby is handy with a welder, will have to show this to him. :lol:
