Making custom tools, I like it. I made a front sight elevation adjuster for my SKS out of a common bolt. Works pretty good.

That is really awesome. Is the buttplate attached to the bolt?

Got the idea from Brownells, decided to make my own.

Looks like we're thinking the same for mounting AR's. Would love to help you out but I'm tapped out for time to build more. I bought one from Brownells just to get the dimensions and see if was what I wanted....turned out it was. The company that makes these is an outfit called Pastix Plus out of Houston, Texas. You can't buy them from their website but they do make them available through Brownells, Midway, and Tallyuns.
Tallyuns has the best price and the design you'd want. Here's a link to their web site. $26.50 each

Thanks for the link. I bought my rack about a year ago and didn’t see the single mount. I may have found a place local that I can buy delrin from. May order one of the single mounts to use as a template.
It would be great if you had pic and made a topic on how you made yours.

Yes, I built it from Maddi Griffin plans. After I built that one LAR started making one for sale that looks almost identical called the Grizzly.

I don't think I can rightfully contribute on this one. My shop is at home, but I'm licensed and getting paid to make custom parts on professional machinery, so it's not hobby or amateur "home made" stuff anymore. Still hand made, though.
As an aside, it kind of exemplifies why some of you are definitely better off spending your free time making your own stuff. I made this for a fellow last week at his request to mount a NV unit ahead of his scope:
Machined from 2"x 2" 7075-T651 square bar and type II anodized in black, he got the "good guy" price at $320 for me to design and build it.

I had the front sight fly off my Pietta 1860 in recoil while shooting years ago. I figured I'd make a new front sight for 25 yards instead of 75 yards.
chicharrones, I had the very same thing happen. I made mine to jam into the slot, and it hasn't moved. Yours is prettier.

I will see if my delrin stack is the right thickness. If it is I can cut a slot and then cleave a bunch off with the chop saw.

That would be outstanding.

Didn't mention it at the time why I was making the magazine blocks. This is part experimental and trying to see how feasible it would be to make a rotisserie AR gun rack for a safe. Rather annoying to move the entire contents just to get the one you need in the back corner.
I erroneously stated the blocks were Delrin, they are UHMW plastic. The base plate is 1/4 aluminum with a one inch center shaft. The octagon center section started out as a piece of aluminum tubing with a 2" center bore. After machining the 8 sided octagon flats, it was tapped for 1/4" holes for the magazine blocks and bearings pressed into the ends. The height can be adjusted by two shaft collars, one on either side of the octagon. Last photo shows it before shortening the center shaft.
One UHMW block was made for an AR10, the others are all for the 15's. It spins beautifully when fully loaded, the base sits flat at all times. Blocks are attached to the octagon center with 6" long socket head 1/4" bolts. Because the magazine blocks were milled with grooves on both sides, it permits the rifles to be hung in either "barrel up" or "barrel down" configuration.
