packable rifle rack

Well, there weren't any plans and I didn't invent it. 

You will need;
One 6 ft 1 x 12 - cut two pieces 26 inches long. for the top and bottom of the base.

One 8 ft 1 x 6  - cut into three pieces 24 inches long. For the two uprights and the top rack.  Cut two pieces 5 inches long for the hinged wings which attach the top rack to the side upright supports. 

Two 6 ft 1 x 4s - cut two 24 inches long for braces from one.  Rip the remaining down the center for the sides on the base.

The hardware is:
4 brass hinges 1 x 3
2 draw tight latches
1 folding handle

two 2 inch and two 3 inch carriage bolts, washers and wing nuts.
ten 1 1/4 inch drywall screws.

I made the top rack to hold 10 long guns.  These notches were cut out with a jig saw.

One could easily adjust the dimensions larger or smaller.

Steve, I am going to make this a sticky.
Not only is it a great idea but your tutorial on how to get the job done is very commendable.
Thank you for sharing the details.
