Pivot pins are there as per plans, you can\'t see them in this photo.
I hadn\'t planned on building the tripod at first but I realized that the wheeled carriage would be awkward to store and move around. The tripod is quite sturdy and I have used it for all my test firing. I plan on building a wooden crate with compartments to store the gun, tripod, and magazines.
