ABSTRACT:
An adjustable stand for holding a firearm includes a front clamp for holding the barrel of a firearm, a first rear clamp for holding the stock of the firearm if the firearm is a rifle or shotgun, and a second rear clamp, located between the front clamp and the first rear clamp, for holding the grip of the firearm if the firearm is a pistol. The front clamp and the first rear clamp each include a pair of jaws pivotally joined to one another. A number of pairs of aligned notches are formed in the inner surfaces of the jaws for accommodating firearms of different sizes and types. The second rear clamp includes a base member having a substantially flat bottom surface for supporting the stand, and a top surface provided with an indentation for receiving the grip of a pistol. A retaining arm is movably secured to the base member for clamping the grip into the indentation. The front clamp and first and second rear clamps are mounted for translation along a threaded rod which also defines the axis about which the jaws of the front clamp and first rear clamp pivot.
