shooting rest for AR 15

brecht

It there some gun vise or shooting rest where i can affix the ar to using the takedown pins?

Not sure of your question, but you do not need a rest or vice to "take down" and dissassemble your gun.

If your asking about a rest that uses the take down pins to attach the gun to the rest, I cannot help.

Id like to clamp down and secure the gun. I was thinking of using the takedown pins to secure the gun. This will ensure a tight connection and wont allow the gun to move.

Mr. Gunz

Why would you want to...just buy a rest that has a clamp for the forestock so you dont have all the hasle, it would be lighter too

A Harris bipod on the forearm of my Colt H-bar target works just fine. Coke cans at 200 yds. on a pretty routine basis with Wolf ammo.

it will be used for for a remotely triggered firing rig. involving ulrashort time photogaphy and laser ilumination of the frame. The laser pulse has a duration of 5 ns and the bullet has to be in the picture.
Therfore everything really need to be solid and repeatable.

in that case, why not replace the pistol grip with something like a tripod mount on a camera?

I know of nothing commercially available for this type rest.

You'll probably have to also fix the rear of the rifle to totally eliminate movement of the muzzle. You could have a machinist produce an overlength takedown pin and possibly a grip screw, then cobble together some sort of heavy rest to mount the rifle.

It wouldn't be as solid, but you could try removing the fore-end and simply strap the barrel and receiver down at multiple points.

One way or another, please show us the pics of your results. Sounds like you may end up with some cool shots.
