I remember having a gun rack mounted in the hmmwv but have been unable to find any? u guys kno of whjer I can get one?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Hello. I have just bought all four of these mounts. can't really see how its bolted to the floor in the one picture (its to dark) also how is the back held in place? I see the mount for the butt stock but thats it. Also the M16A1 is the native gun for the humvee and these mounts?
I have pictures of the front in my thread Juan's M998. I have not yet taken pictures of the back. There is a block that mounts to the B-Pillar sideways using 2 of the b-pillar through bolt holes and the clamp with bracket bolts to the block. I think the originals were designed for the m16 rifle of the time.Hello.

Ok post a few pics if you can. In the mean time I will post a few pictures also. So the brackets we have are for the AR and not the M16? I have hard copies of the TM's and i can fine much info on these mounts. Here's the ones I got.I have pictures of the front in my thread Juan's M998. I have not yet taken pictures of the back.

AR and M16 rifles are the same dimensions. The difference will be A1 vs A2 and length of pull.Ok post a few pics if you can. In the mean time I will post a few pictures also.

Got it. Currently i have no gun mounts in the truck. I bought the two front mounts and the rear mounts are on the way. I do have a 6.5 GEP but its married to the standard TH 400 3speed. I'm just looking to get these mounts installed in the correct/original locations and place some M16A1 replica's in the slots just for show.The front mounts you have shown in your last picture are the newer style.
The floor brackets mount in the same place whether you have the new or old style mounts.
The upper clamp is different between the new and old style. You have the newer style in the picture. They are adjustable.
They do keep the weapon at an angle to allow your feet to get past them.
If they were to close to the seat or door opening you would have trouble getting in and out .
The original rear mounts hung off the lower metal channel behind the front seats to the B pillar supports between the front and rear doors.
The upper clamps attach behind the padded head pads spaced off by a piece of rectangular tubing .
I remade the lower buckets to fit on top of the cross brace because it's hard enough getting your feet in that space without having a bracket hanging down.
And if you upgrade the 6.5 with 4L80 and original trans controller the relay box is also taking up some of that room behind commanders seat.
This is the older original style. The swiss cheese bracket is newer.I have a different style on mineView attachment 713871View attachment 713872View attachment 713874View attachment 713875
Those are the original early style uppers.I have a different style on mineView attachment 713871View attachment 713872View attachment 713874View attachment 713875
