can't find it. m16 rack placement

poof · Jan 14, 2017

I can't find it. Have zero recollection of seeing one in the trucks. Was there a standard location for the placement of the rifle rack? TM & page # .. Or was there never one in the m880 series. Picture would work too. Thanks JP. Carnac , you still have me on the antenna list.

I honestly don't recall seeing the mounts or markings for it. I've been debating doing it in the cab corner behind the seat, but haven't pursued it. I'm also doing a minor mod to mount the Pioneer Rack like the Marines did on the rear of the cab.

880s never had 'em. Was on Chevy's to do list though!

I wonder if you could use the dual rack from the deuces and 5 tons. Maybe use some steel and make a rack that bolts to the floor.

The answers , I thank you for. I'll keep looking. Mystery continues. I can't imagine, but don't remember just laying my rifle on the floor or proper up against the seat. But maybe. Most of my time was in a m113. JP

Here ya go. Not mine, but the pick I used/got the idea from.

Bikeman, is there enough room to reach over the seat and fiddle with the straps holding the tools being as how the seat does not fold forward in the Dodges?

MWMULES · Jan 16, 2017

They loosened the two bolts that held the seat back so it would fold forward, my M885 came like that.

poof · Jan 16, 2017

I had a though along those lines for rifle rack behind seat. As said the bench seat is fixed. When I re covered my seat I thought of just installing one bolt and drill and pin the other. For the foldability , the pin should be a perfect fit to keep seat back stable I'm thinking. Rifle rack in corners. Tool rack in center.maybe what's next.JP

My seat leans forward. So, plenty of room. The entire bench is also on a forward/back slider controlled by a lever under the driver. So, even if yours doesn't flip forward, it should slide forward enough to get access. But, I'd just make sure that the whole thing leans.

My units trucks had them in the corners of the cabs.
