We used ours yesterday at the AK vs AR match. Although we added a port.

You can get two walls from one 4x8 sheet of plywood.

PM me your email address and I will send you the dimensions.

One of there. A fun vision barrier. Lots of canted shooting and roll-over prone. Not easy to shoot fast. http://www.ar-15.co/forums/showthread.php?t=65125

If you're going to make some, I'll take 1, maybe 2.

Can you send me the top one? It looks more completely dimensioned, but the numbers are not readable.

I'll get a price on 3/4" plywood today and let you guys know the cost. Won't be much.

I tried the 3/4" and it was fine, but 1" was more stable.

The local yard has 1 1/8" (no 1") available for $41/sheet. Assuming we get two per sheet, materials are $20.50 per unit. I need $5 to cover tax, tool wear, etc. Call it $26 each. You supply the legs, etc.

If you want one or more, send me a PM. I'll wait a day or two to get a total then run them, probably over the weekend. I'm at Hoser's PD match every month (third Saturday), and I also get to the Springs on a regular basis. You're welcome to pick them up at my shop in Woodland Park as well.

I built 2 with the legs on opposite sides so I have a left facing one and a right facing one. You can cut them in half below the 6x6" square and add a simple hinge to make it fold over and easier to transport.

The CNC got freed up at the end of the day so I cut a pair out of some beat up scrap plywood. There was one little 1/2" error on a dimension (I was programming pretty fast), but it aggravated me so I fixed it already. Any others that run should be good.

I built ours with an extra port down low. A diamond just above the small triangle on the bottom. Just because I could...

I see it in the pics. Easy to add.

But... With the extra port is not a true V-TAC wall. Just a barrier/port/barricade with holes.

There's been no interest, so I'll use the two I cut for myself and be done with it. They're 5/8", so I may sandwich them together and make a very rigid assembly.
