I got tired of using the ancient Dixie GW loading stand I have that never correctly fit anything other than a Navy or Army anyway and looking at some that you guys have come up with inspired this. It's universal and fits my Dragoon and Remington NMA too.

Snazzy! Haven't seen anything like it anywhere else.
Looks like it'll take about anything you want to stick in it.

Thanks guys.
Yep, the whole point was one stand that will fit everything I have or might get (Walker, hehehe). This is the first model, I was thinking if I do another one I can put dowels in the base or arm so that it can break down into two parts. For now, I really like this one!
Makes me want to go to the workshop. If it wasnt so late I would. Hope you dont sue me for infringement. Ive got to have one of thoise.

I really like the design.
I think I will try my hand at it too.
Can I have your permission to use your design?

Very nice job. I recently threw one together using the same basic design. Yours makes mine look like the Frankenstein Monster though.
One thing I did on mine was to put a 2x4 block on mine to support the back of the frame. That way when i crank down on the loading lever it's not stressing the cylinder arbor. It's notched for the hammer to fit into. It would be easy to make different ones up, for you'r different weapons, and use the wood dowel system to change them out.
Either way, very nice work.

Snaggletooth, FuzzyBunny,
No problem! Just don't go into production and start selling them! LOL.
And I want to see pics of what you guys come up with and any changes you make.
O.S.O.K.
