http://qdogpaintball.com/images/gat-stand.jpg where might i find foam like that to build my own knock off of that product? i figure i cant make a replica of it with 2 pvc pipes, a knife, and some sort of foam but cant seem to find a place that has it (online or in store)

Something I made during the weekend
Can carry 2 markers or used one side to hold the spare loaders, and hang a mask on the side;

I finally got around to building a stand. Pretty simple design, holds three markers and folds flat. Price ended up being about $10 bucks. I used 1" pvc, its a little sturdier than the smaller size pipes and holds together well without gluing.


Brobee approves...





Heres the build list.

(10) 1" T Fittings
(4) 1" Elbows
(1) 1" 12' pvc pipe.(I had some scraps laying around so you might need a little more or less depending on how many guns its going to hold. Its about $2.50 per pipe.)
(1) Length of Foam pipe insulation
(*) Tape to hold on the insulation

I used a hacksaw to cut all the sections but If you have access to a pipe cutter use it. Cutting will go much smoother and less mess. I still need to cut the barrel fittings. I really like the different things others incorporated into their stands like mask racks and pod stations but decided against it for mine. I really only need the stand to do one thing and thats hold my guns. I guess I could snazz it up with some paint....but its going to get thrown around anyway.

Edit; I updated the last pic with pipe length sizes in case anyone wanted to build a similar stand.

*Barrel risers/holder= 6"
*Runner = 22"
*back pieces= 3"
* 2" sections used to connect the front together.

Keep in mind that I used my gun to size this stand.

Hope this helps.

I really like this design.

Only thing I wonder, do you have any problems with the markers tipping over?

I don't get why several of you guys aren't cutting the Ts. I like how it will always keep your marker from falling off unless the whole stand falls but how do you get your barrel sleeve in and out of that easily? That looks like a pain to me

Thanks
here is a pic of it without the markers


The stand was made slightly tappered so its wider at the back end than the front. Sort of like this... (I added some tapes to cover the pipes from scratching the markers)


with a bottle cover, it seems to hold it well, but if you dont use a cover, than maybe using some rubber foam will give it enough grip to hold the bottle in place... even if it does tip to the side, the grip frame would hold it upright (With a full hopper as well)

Leg height was set to 8" to allow for barrel length up to 16" long with some clearance; can be lower or higher depending if barrel is shorter or longer.

Here is my stand based off someone elses design but changed a bit

[fireatwill]

This is my stand, It comes apart and fits in your pocket or tool box, gear bag where ever. It is very small but will do it all. Works with or without a tank, barrel or hopper. You can even set your body in it while you have the grip frame off so you don't have to set it on its side.

Got the main idea from kenobi13's rack but decided to change a few things. Had first made it with a goal post shapoed thing to hold 2 masks but didnt like it, so just kept with one.

Also the black paint looks a bit strange from the flash because it is "Hardened Black" which actually looks really great, the paint isnt smooth, its kinda of dimpled.

[Banzaii]

i wish paintball fields would just have a bunch of these stuck to the tables or whatever they have at the field

[Jamiespeck]

I made the one like kenobi13's rack but i made the height of the barrel holder only 2.5 inches so the gen leans forward so you can fill your hopper while it sitsin the stand.

with inspiration coming from this thread..fits my team's markers during practices...

[snkp360]

My stand, idea came from this thread. Took me about 2 hrs to build including paint.

[iceman_PS]

Very Very Nice. Simple, but Elegant design.

ha ha ha....that's our TC planting a loving kiss on his awesome marker -- a pure Sl8r..

happy to know my work is appreciated..

[bhsp8ntballer07]

here is my teams new 7 marker stand. props to jackjcc and the cool dude for the inspiration for the idea. kinda took the two and molded them together, and added my own spice to the barell mounting idea. found those nifty little hooks for 89 cents a piece. drilled a hole just small enough so i could thread the screw on them in and tada a perfect functioning stand. used 1" pvc for strength and durability

Has flooring to hold my barrels,battle swabs and whatever else. Holds my pod pack and mask. Cost a bit more considering I broke 2 saws making it unfortunately. Used 1 1/4 piping so its built like a rock.
