Universal Rifle Rack location in an M38A1?
Did the M38A1 have a provision for mounting the carbine holder (ww2 style) similar to the way ww2 jeeps did on the bottom of the inside of the windshield frame? If not there anywhere else? A friend wants to put one in his 38A1 but wants to know if it is correct.
Thanks!
Clint

I'm toying with the idea of putting one in my own rig. Did the A1 use the stand-off bracket shown (that's an M37 in the picture)? I remember seeing the template for making that bracket with the kit.
Anybody willing to post a picture of their installation?
Thanks!
Dave

Here is another place. TNJ Murray. Not quite as cheap at $25, but not bad.

No problem. Here is mine installed on the dash of my A1. Thought about doing one on the other side of the grab bar but am putting a roll cage in it.

I saw a pic of a canadien m38a1 that had one mounted on the windshield frame just the other day. You could see it sticking up through the windshield.

Oops. It was a Danish Jeep, but I was searching for Canadian Jeeps when I found it.

Re: Universal Rifle Rack location in an M38A1?
On the M38A1 CDN series, the FNC1A1 rifle mount has a rubber butt plate-sized boot on the floor and a two-sided diamond spring clip on the dash. In the mount, the crew commander' knees are trapped by the pistol grip and magazine. There are a couple of standard locations for the 9mm SMG, most common is on the hump between the seats beside the hand brake. I personnaly preferred to park my SMG on the transmission hump with the magazine flat and the pistol grip upright beside the hump. A full size rifle in a Jeep with the doors on is ridiculous.

Re: Universal Rifle Rack location in an M38A1?
RE the type shown by Cuz, Does anyone know when these were introduced? Maybe a date on installation drawings?
I'd just like to know how early they could have been used.
Thanks
WG

The earliest I recall seeing them was the 60's.
