Rifle clip brackets

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Grant

Two comments....

Your clip arms do not appear to be as twisted as the one posted by super Super Dave....

..and they appear, if you move your fingers to have only 2 holes....

I have noted that the cab 13 here at thebarn have two holes on the cab 13 and 3 holes intended for machined screws 1/4 20 I beleive.

Do you arms have two or 3 holes???

Will send you a PM on the NOS ones....since my cab 11 was before the rubber shortages the rubber ones would be approriate.

Just when you think you have it figured out....something else pops up....

cheers

I see that Dave`s twisted brackets are the shorter ones I presume are for a cab 11or12, mine are the longer cab 13 style and have 2 diagonal holes for mounting to the cab and 3 holes to attach the rifle clip at the top.

PM on it's way.

Cheers.

Dave to add a bit of input to your post. The Australian No.6., Tractors Artillery contained 2 of the types shown in your images plus an extra for the Bren LMG. There is one of the longer type either side of the Cab 13 as with most I imagine however the crew cab has the shorter variety clips plus buckets for the butts of 5x.303 rifles. The weapons were attached east west rather than magazine forward as with the 2 in the front. There is an extra position on the driver's side of the crew cab that held the LMG which was part of the scale of issue for said vehicle. There are a couple of mounts on the passenger side that may well have accommodated a Thompson SMG. I trust the attached pics are of interest. Cheers...Rod

I'm getting ready to fit two spring steel rifle clips to the Chev.

I've seen photos of new leather sewn over the whole of the spring clip sides,
but wondered if anyone has a photo of the original leather lining in place?

Thanks
