Are rifle racks the same in most WW2 British medium - heavy lorries? A good friend has just got one for his QL what do they look like and are there many around.....

 

Easy to make? Any for sale?

 

Would this vehicle have one or two......

 

 

Any helpers......

 

Cheers

Dan,

 

On a QL there are two rifle stowages, between seat and door post on either side of the cab. the butt drops down into a cavity in corner of cab, ( I normally have a fire extinguisher and warning triangle stowed in them). The clips are shoulder height and are the standard U shaped spring clips with leather lining, but fixed to a special bracket that fits to the door post ( and i think, cab rear). They are actually a damned nuisance as you catch your clothes on them, getting out.

Thanks for asking the question Dan, and thanks for the answer Richard. I am assembling a 1:35 scale model QLD and was just thinking about putting a couple of rifles in the cab. Now I know where to place them! :-)

 

Cheers Nik
