This bench has shown up at our range. Not sure if one of the members built it and left it or what as it is a one off from others at the range. It's light and could be easily loaded into a truck by one man.
Looking at it, you would think it isn't stable with the single leg on one end but I pushed on it and laid on it some and it was surprisingly stable. Besides being set up for wrong side shooters it's pretty cool.
It was built by a welder/fabricator, 98% chance it was a “government job” aka company sponsored, aka materials stolen from work.
I just have a feeling, that’s why.
But damn. Nice work and a REALLY smart design. Wide stable feet out front, one leg in the back. Three legs = no rocking.

I definitely agree with CPJ. Maybe not stolen, but using a lot of scrap. I think that is indicated by the sheer amount of welds. Good welder.

I would say 30-50 lbs maybe? Didn't seem heavy at all when I was poking / prodding / coveting.
Aluminum, or as our resident kiwi would spell it "aluminium"???
I'm guessing it is, if that much metal only weaighs 30-50 pounds
