Abstract: A framing system and related framing section assembly includes at least one first member, preferably in the form of a U-shaped track or channel, that receives at least one second member, such as a stud. The stud is captured on or between spaced protrusions or pairs of protrusions projecting inwardly from the opposed sidewalls of the receiver. The protrusions securely, but releasably, hold the corresponding end of the stud in place in the receiver. To form a framing section assembly using this system, two opposed receivers are provided for engaging and supporting each end of a plurality of studs. To permit variable positioning of the studs in the receivers and enhance flexibility during installation, the protrusions may be equidistantly spaced at frequent intervals. Surface indicia may also be provided on the receivers at certain conventional intervals to allow the installer to easily determine the proper location for the studs.
