Go to a scrap steel joint or try and get a piece of 6'' pipe 600mm-1m long with wall thickness not under 8mm fit and weld a piece of 25mm plate in the end
on the top weld a piece of 8mm plate with a hole cut in the middle 35-40mm diameter pour 100-150mm of sand into the pipe to stop side expansion of fragments
They can be painted up to look not out of place in the house also make a wood or steel stand to stabilize it while firing into it
We have fired up to 30-06 into it in the laundry we thought it would buck a bit so the first trial was done out in the open but surprised us greatly
And noise if you fired a 308 into it in the lounge room the neighbours would think you had dropped a small saucepan in the kitchen
Now I wouldn't go below the size and measurements as I have given above up to 30-06 and go thicker with wall and base plate for larger calibre
Maybe wall @12-16mm and base plate 30mm up
All this was made for less than $40, scrap pipe and plate
How does that address the legality of loading your firearm in a populous place though?
