Anyone have any experience building a monopod, for instance for CAA or PRS style stocks? Seems like it should be straightforward with the right combination of off-the-shelf bolts and lots of tapping/threading. But given that these things go from $90-$200 for what seems like a few dollars of metal, maybe there's more to it?

It's fun and relatively easy. This is my first "home made" pod. I learned a lot even on something simple like this,lol.I have plans for three more "new and improved" models,lol!

I milled the actual ring part off the base and dilled, tap and screewed it to the round piece of stock after I milled a flat on it.
For positioning, theres's a hole drilled in the top piece of the pod with a spring and a pin in it. when you tighten the top thumb screw up, it holds the pin in the dent holes in the base. It actually goes past 90* to the rear for the rearward force when you fire
It's a proto-type, lol.
