seat back gun racks

[mainecoon]

I saw these available for cars. Does anyone use one? To me it looks like something that would "elevate the situation" if you got pulled over.

I believe there not legal in many states. I miss seeing them, my dad got a 94 winchester from a truck driver back when he worked at a gun shop, the gun sat in one of those racks for years, I think the driver said close to 800,000 miles or more. The rifle on the butt stock and the forend were worn down, so much you could see the mag spring on the forend.

Wish he still had that rifle was a cool wallhanger.

If you are referring to the nylon 2-piece ones that strap to the headrests, I had one, didn't keep it very long. In a 4-door, the seats were too far forward to slide the rifles in, due to the B-pillars. An extended cab pickup with suicide doors wouldn't likely have this issue. Also, the rifles would shift a lot, usually bouncing up against the doors. A cased rifle on the floor or seat would be a better option, IMHO.

Doesn’t sound very easy to get to but my Grandfather had a .22 in a soft case behind the seat of every truck he ever had. Still had to get out and flip the seat forward to get to them though.

I don’t know what vehicle you have but you couldn’t see anything in a regular cab pickup, if you had something behind the seat.

I built and over head rack for my jeeps that works well. Out of sight and easy access.



When I was in high school I had a rear window gun rack, those are pretty much a thing of the past.

I drive an F150 extended cab with the suicide doors. Secured to the back of the passenger seat is an old Triple K saddle scabbard. Yes, a saddle scabbard, just like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood used. I know what you're thinking, too: that's gotta be awkward as hell to get at. It isn't. Just reach your right hand out, grab the rifle by the wrist, and slide it out, then shove it out the window. Simple as that. A 22 of some sort has rode in it every day for the past 3 or 4 years, or a 30-30 during deer season. Sure, my way's unorthodox, but by damn it works, and best of all, didn't cost me a dime!

Yes sir, the saddle scabbards work very well. We've had this one for about five years. It is tough as nails.

That is the EXACT same one I have. And you're right: they're tough as nails!
