|
|
Hi All,
I have a M1 Carbine that I have been interested in using as a display item for my M38A1. I know there isn't any formal rifle holder for the A1, but was curious if the military did any sort of field modifications and made there own, or stuck a holder from a different jeep on there (Say M151s if used in Vietnam, or M38s in Korea). Or did the military just throw their rifles in the back with no holder?
Thanks! _________________ Bob Collins

Yes Dick. I used it to illustrate the rifle support which actually clamped to the rifle and not the tall adapter bracket that connects the clamp assembly to the dash. I have a photo somewhere of this rifle stowage bracket installed in an m38A1 but I can't find it where the clamp assembly bolts directly to the dash and the but socket bolts directly to the floor. _________________ Wes K

Wes, I only mentioned it was an M37 because you called it a M151 in your discussion. Dick |

Any idea where to find that bracket? Or what to ask for if I call Midwest Military? Ask for a M151 rifle bracket?

Wes --
For the A1, does the bracket go on the passanger side, or drivers side? Im assuming passanger side, but the reason I ask is because the 151 looks like its on the drivers, while the M37 is on the passangers.
