M4 Mount

So I have my M1078 and with the gun mounts. They were clearly designed for holding a M4 rifle with the rounded forestock. Like most people my rifles have quad rails, optics, blah blah blah. Consequently they don't go into the rifle mounts very well. The mounts are too close to the wall to clear optics, and the rounded handle things get jammed up with accessories, or threaten to scratch the rails.

I could make some blocks and pull the mounts away from the wall but overall the mounts suck. What's the answer for this? I see in photos the military helicopter guys have some cool mounts. Is there some updated mount on the newer trucks in service?

You can get the kind that grabs the barrel instead.

I took mine out. Before I turned mine into a camper I had a cop ask why I had those in there and if I had weapons in my truck. I laughed at him and said "well it is a MILITARY truck! but no, no firearms." I also live in the broken state of California. LOL

Haha I actually use mine. For rifles even. When you have a rifle in there it also makes a great coat hanger.

I will be moving to AZ soon!

Well, Welcome! What part of AZ?

Mine hold a whole variety of sporting arms too. Now I don't have an m4 with all the bells and whistles, but it holds my m4 with trijicon site real well.

Maybe this will work?
