Here is one I made a LONG, LONG time ago for my Tippmann A-5:

Here is the cradle for the Flatline’s shroud:

No – that’s not sandpaper that the shroud rests in. That actually a rubber, non-skid and non-abrasive padding that fits the shroud perfectly and yet doesn’t scratch the shroud.

Here is a view from the back:

As you can see that is foam back there and it’s angled so that my 68/4500 Crossfire doesn’t get damaged. The foam is also anti-skid and non-abrasive. It fits like a charm.
Here is a view with my A-5 on it:

The arm that holds the shroud also swings down into the frame so it can be collapsed for easy movement.
Total weight is probably less than half a pound. It is very light. Lighter than the Flatline Barrel itself

Ingredients:
1. Four PVC 90 degree Schedule 40 joints.
2. Four PVC 45 degree Schedule 40 joints
3. A small piece of 0.75” diameter PVC pipe. Side note – Home Depot sells in only 10-foot pieces! Way too much for this project.
4. A small piece of 0.50” diameter PVC pipe. Side note – Home Depot sells in only 10-foot pieces!
5. Solvent cement to chemically weld the joints together. Comes in two cans. A primer and the actual cement.
6. Plastic primer paint - Spray can
7. Plastic paint (Flat Black to match A-5) – Spray can
8. Sand paper to lightly roughen the surface to promote adhesion of the paint to the PVC.
9. A very small piece of the rubber tape made by 3M that is normally used for anti-skid stairs. That is what the Flatline cradle is made from.
10. Oh yeah – A 1” T-Fitting for the Flatline Cradle. You’ll have to cut the top off so the shroud can lie in there.

That is all you need. The price tag for all the components was about $10 or $12 without the paint that alone was about $6. Yeah – It’s PVC and it’ll probably scratch and the pics really don’t do the thing too much justice with this crappy and antiquated digital camera I have. It might not look like the best thing in the world but it sure serves it’s purpose. The flat back paint made the PVC looks like dull metal pipes.

If anyone needs any details, let me know. Some items that could improve the stand would be an adjustable arm for the barrel cradle so that it can raise up and down to accommodate different tank sizes and barrel diameters.

Obviously, this is a post from for when I shot a Tippmann so you won't need a 1" diameter "T" for the barrel holder. This was very cheap to make, maybe $10 bucks or so and a half hour of work.

Here is the concept for the gunstand I'm making. It only cost me 10 bucks for all the materials you will need. If you have a hacksaw laying around this is an easy and cheap way to do it. The measurements will need to be adjusted to fit your gun. it only takes a little messing with it to find what fits best for each gun. Any local Hardware store should have what you need.

THE DARK BLUE IS PIPE! THE DARK BLUE IS PIPE!

THE LIGHT BLUE ARE FITTINGS! THE LIGHT BLUE ARE FITTINGS!

What you will need is...

- 3/4 or 1/2 inch PVC piping ( I'm only gonna need half of a standard peice of pipe...You can buy pipe in smaller quantities at Home Depot, Lowe's, ect.)

- Four 90* fittings (these should be equal in size to the pipe you choose EX: 3/4 or 1/2)

- Six Tee fittings (these should be equal in size to the pipe you choose EX: 3/4 or 1/2)

- Four PVC caps to put on the open pipe at the top of the stand where the barrel/tank sit(it is not neccessary but keeps dirt out and allows for a cleaner look.)

- A small can of regular clear PVC Cement (application brush in can)

- Hacksaw with a decent blade on it to cut with

- PVC pipe Insulation (not pictured but included on all lateral parts)

- 15 or 16 Zip-Ties to hold the Insulation in place.(again...this is not required nor is it pictured but it is very useful)
