4 2x4s

1 2x8

2 21/2 inch 10 foot Pvc tubes

------------------------------------

42.50$

Took me 3 hours without any plans and or design, just winged it.

I highly recomend making this kind of rail, its quick, and works soo well.

How did you manage 10 feet with 1 8 foot 2x4?

Looks like fun!!!! ( only problem **in my opinion** is drilling through the top seeing as it reduces the overall strength of the rail, something you might experience later)

Hella props for wingin it though

 

[a.jamieson]

Yeah it was the only was we really knew how to do it, I guess drilling from the bottom or using that liquid nail shit would have worked.. oh well

 

[B*Jenkins*111]

I made mine for $30

 

[dandougherty]

yeah i make my shit pretty much for free, 45 kind of alot

i made my newest rail for 6 dollars, we got all scrap wood from dumpsters at construction sites, and then bought pvc...it looks really sketchy, but it seems to work okay

 

[minnesotajibber]

i got all my stuff just around the house

 

[invader7]

yeah and i made my twenty footer and five foot in run for free.

 

[Atypical]

how did you secure the pvc? did you just drill through it?

I want to build one like this

 

[Atypical]

he means a 2x8x10 (I think), thats 2 inches thick, 8 wide, and 10 long.

 

[SteveSkis]

what size pvc do you think would be the best for a shotgun rail?
the 2.5 looks like its pretty nice though

 

[chames]

i don't think the holes will matter. We did the same thing on our setup and we have been hitting it all summer with out any of the holes cracking or breaking. We did use several 1" pvc pipes instead of 2" or whatever you used. I donno if that will make a difference though

 

[i.ski.troll.]

45 bucks?

i built mine for like 10

 

[powderhound100]

I built mine for like free. Well I took the pvc from my dad, and nails and stuff, but the wood I got off the street.

 

[mitchk]

i made one pretty much the same. its deff the way o go when makin rails.

 

[the.cheat]

luckily for me i built one for free 8 feet long 1.5 ft tall for free my dads work has tons of wood i can get for free or ridiclulously cheap prices. also i got a tranny made out of fiberglass cause its a fiberglass tank factory

flip the rail over and draw two lines on the wood below the rail marking where the pipes are touching the wood and just screw through the bottom. 2 inch pipes work very well for a shotgun style rail.

 

[Zvarenza_724]

What i did and it works realy well is use bolts and nuts on the 4 ends then 1 or 2 screws in the middle comming up from the bottom this way the rail is definatly secure cause just screws from the bottom didnt work for me

i made a low 10ft box for about 25$. I bougth one 16ft x8in plank and 3 10ft pvc pipes. Cut wood down to 10ft and use the rest for suports.
