Default Buck a gun speargun rack - DIY

3" DWV PVC pipe - not Sch40 - DWV is thinner wall
Heat gun
Some sort of saw to cut the pipe

Cut a section of pipe - 12" seems to work well.
Lay sideways and direct heat into pipe. I blocked the other end with a brick to keep heat in.
Within a minute the pipe will be hot enough to easily flex.
For ocean rhino guns the butt is 3-3/4" wide so that's what the pipe needs to ovalize to.
For deathsticks or guns with minimal buttage you don't need to heat and ovalize, round PVC, even SCH40, is fine.
Either way, cut a notch for the handle, maybe hit with a dremel or sandpaper to smooth the PVC.
Mount with appropriate stainless nuts, bolts, and washers.
Never tried it with euro style guns.

Anyone have any clever way to adapt it for a euro? Maybe just a retainer bungee? The lack if gun behind te handle takes away that leverage that holds the rear plus and mid handles so well

Id cut the slots nice and deep, maybe all the way through.

Yeah. But that would weaken them. Have to experiment
