I may have to order one of these.

Clever

 

[STIHL]

That is a great idea.

Don't know what they've been eating, but I've noticed the six-cavity moulds have been getting heavier.

 

[Ian]

The brass ones are getting heavier too, you guys that have been saying that for years weren't joking! That little lab jack is neat!

 

[dannyd]

Yes it’s does work

 

[Missionary]

Sure might just beat my high tech brick support.... Far more packable.

 

[fiver]

some chopping and hacking and that'd make a pretty good front rifle rest.

Somehow, brass seems to gain molecular weight with age.

That looks a whole lot more stable and substantial than that half-hearted L-bar thing on my Pro-Melt. I might just snag one or two of them things.

Thanks for the heads up GRMPS.
I just ordered one of those puppies.

Add one of these bags and you have an adjustable gun rest

Dang! ,that is is cute, I may have to replace my exotic wood block with one.Powder coat it black so it will be more "Tactic -Cool"

 

[quicksylver]

Do you think it would be necesary to fasten it to the base of the pot or put some kind of stops on it?

 

[Kevin Stenberg]

GRMPS Where did you get the add for all of the front rests?
An if you got very energenic you could put an edge guide for the mold on the top plate.

I used two small screws works to keep it in place

I borrowed it from a friend's post. Amazon sold so many of them they added almost $6 to the original price sooooo I found this one,
That picture was from a general search for pictures of front bags...it came from FireFox. Most of them pictured there I've seen on MidwayUSA.

A friend told me that you can slide the mold holder down snug and it will hold the lab jack in place

The jack doesn't look very heavy so without having one I would say yes.
