Freestanding 8" AR500 Gong Kit with Folding Base
This Kit Is Best For:
- Complete Except the Lumber: gong, bracket, and the folding AR500 base in one box; add one 2x4 and shoot.
- Folds for the Truck: the base folds to 24" x 4" x 6", so the whole rig rides behind a seat.
- AR500 Top to Bottom: even the base is 1/4" AR500, so errant rounds do not end the range day.

- 1x Legion 2x4 gong bracket (TLB-1)

You still need: One standard 2x4 from the hardware store, cut to the height you want.
The base is 1/4" AR500 and folds to 24" x 4" x 6" for the truck. Approximate combined weight 27 pounds. The 2x4 stays at the hardware store because shipping an 8 foot board helps nobody.
