Dash mounted rifle, M38A1 CDN
 

Wondering what the most likely model of rifle would have been mounted on the dash of a M38A1CDN.

If you are talking about the clip on the right side of the dash, with the rubber socket on the floor, then it was the FN C1A1. They were part of a modification kit that also included the bracket for the SMG C1, which was a Canadian version of the sterling.

The M38A1s left the service in 1986. The following year the FN C1A1 also started leaving the service, replaced by the C7, which was a Cdn version of the M16. As such, the C7 was not foun din the M38A1, although it would fit in the same brackets just fine.

So you know, an FNC1 inside a Jeep is a monstrousity. The rifle stands upright in the middle of the door, with the magazine blocking even more.

The 9mm SMG is wonderfully compact and handy. Old muscle memory still has a few favourite resting spots for the SMG, that don't include the weapons' clips.

Yes. The rubber socket on the floor is what I was referring to. Thank you for the response. Much appreciated.
