Based on Kermit air gun directions except I couldn't find a long enough U bolt so I just made the holding part together - I also added 7" to accommodate a tf87 - the black stuff is Velcro. This was my first practical wood project ever so I didn't cut anything straight and bolted most stuff crooked a little lol and had to rescrew a few times after breaking drill bits - took me almost 6 hours from when I bought the wood and c clamp. I got lucky though and the blocks surrounding the gun became snug after adding Velcro. The c clamp cutoff point currently is also snug against the B3 too after Velcro but I may cut it down more as it is VERY snug. It seems like it wouldn't come out because of how tight it fits in but I added some strap just in case and have Velcro strap at the front to prevent major barrel movement. They c clamp section is on a 2x6 - held securely with a long screw and the two holding the clamp - Can be easily moved. Gonna try it tom if my qf2 spring comes but I also have a 38 coil spring coming from MM. Fun project, even though it is very bubba haha.

Used it today - works great! Had to relocate the c clamp block but it took less than two minutes.
