Re: Rear window gun rack , where ?

umm.. i preffer keeping all weapons concealed..
letting peopl eknow you have one back there is "broadcasting" for a break in..
just my two cents.. and they make TONS of slimline hardcases that will fit behind your seat..
just my opinion

Re: Rear window gun rack , where ?

I agree with Mitchell whole heartedly. I am a gun dealer on the side and see several vehicles broken into every month to get guns. I carry a rifle and a shotgun behind the seat and 2 handguns under the seats and 1 on my hip. Never know when you might need one. Keep them hidden away so you don't loose them.

I've got a couple pairs of these mounts and had them so long I don't remember where I got them. They work well. I also have scabbards in front and behind the seat.

Re: Rear window gun rack , where ?

Keeping your long gun concealed is impractical if you are hunting, which may be what he is doing.

Otherwise, if you plan on leaving it in there, look here: http://www.galls.com/category2.html?...talog&cat=2693

We had the shotguns and/or AR's overhead in our cars when I was a reserve, and they were real stable and didn't rattle around. Which was a good thing since the majority of our roads are gravel.

I used to have a fabric bench seat cover with a built-in scabbard in the front. Worked well when I used it.

Re: Rear window gun rack , where ?

Thanks for the feedback,

I ended up finding what I was looking for on Ebay, its called an allen 2 gun rack, they do a steel and a plastic one, the plastic one looked a little better to me and it was 80 cents cheaper ( yes !! ).

Im from New Zealand so wont be using it to carry guns round in plain sight, Id spark a nationwide manhunt in seconds if I did, our gun laws differ a fair bit from those in the states. I dont actually even own a gun just like the look of the racks and get a fair bit of grief from friends about my truck being 'redneck' so am playing along.

Thanks again.
