Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Company that would build underground Shooting lane on private property?
I have enough property I have kicked around this idea. Obviously it wouldn't be cheap and there are some legalities to consider. But does anyone know a company that would consider such a things in the Denver area?
The dudes hanging around in front of Home Depot should be able to get that done in a few hours.

Tell them it's a tunnel to get under a fence.
Culvert pipe what ever distance you want. Some kind of system to bring targets to & from berm (clothes line pulley system) works. A few fans behind shooter to move air downrange. You're looking at $75 - 100K easy for a 1 lane range built to indoor spec, not including permits, opposition from common sense neighbors and getting the county to sign off.
here's a link for your reading entertainment. The prices quoted are on the conservative side, for a multi lane unit. They do give some numbers for single lane. We looked in to a commercial lot indoor range 20 - 25 years ago. At that time it was $1 million ish for a 25 yard, 10 - 15 lane building, land not included.

The Great Kazoo's Feedback

There was a company I saw maybe 2 to 3 years ago that did this sort of thing (though more commercial than private usually) and I talked to the guy about it some. He thought a simple one lane one could be done for 20k or so. But I'll be damned if I can't find his info again.
A guy I shot with had to build a retaining wall, and while he was at it asked the city if he could turn it into a "wine cellar". 25 yards long.
72" concrete pipe costs +or- 500$ a linear foot to install. The end caps, venting, and everything else would all be more. The per foot price would spike as well if a decent footage wasn't needed.

Sounds like a simple DIY project if you ask me.
Big trench and connex shipping containers buried.

Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
Don't bury Conex boxes. Bad things happen. They are meant to be stacked with the pressure on the edges - not over the center.Originally Posted by gnihcraes
