M1009 gun rack

[Mike_Kendall]

Hello, My brother just picked up my M1009 last week that was purchased from a company that uses vehicles in SoCal for movie companies. This one was used in the recent movie "the men who stare at goats" for several scenes. He said on the trailer for the movie there is a scene where George Clooney roughs a guy and breaks the window on the drivers side. Sure enough there is glass in the vehicle near the drivers door, cammo paint job matches, amonst other indicators it was really in the movie.
There is a gun rack behind the drivers seat for two rifles. I, unfortunately, do not own an M16A1 or M4. I do own several other guns such as a double barrel cammo/stainless receiver Ruger red label, a cammo pump turkey hunting 12 gauge, an old auto 12 guage, an SLR-95 milled receiver bulgarian sporterized AK, old springfield survival .410/.22 and a 7MM magnum deer hunting rifle with a scope to name most of the rifles.
Will I be able to fit any or all of these guns in the gun rack or am I now going to have to drop alot of money to buy the right gun for the rack? I would hate to take a nice gun rack out if I can put it to good use. Advanced thanks to all that participate in this great web site.

sounds like a nice truck. Someone else can come along and point out that they do not like discussing firearms on this forum in any context other than if it is mounted to a MV.

Just take them out and see if they fit. That is the only way you are going to be able to tell if the fit for certain.

I used my M16 gun rack for deer season while driving off road. It works by spring pressure so some guns will hold some wont.

The scoped rifle is out. The 12ga.'s should work. Good Luck.

you could pick up a "rubber ducky" if you are simply looking for looks. I would reccomend an AR-15 or HK 91

eh... or just get an AR. the market is so flooded with AR stuff now, you can pick one up cheap.

I have fit AK-47's and L1A1's in mine and they didn't budge.

Is there a m1009 in the movie? I have only seen the commercial where george clooney goes over a jump and runs a guy down in a m1008.

I might watch it if it ever makes it to tv.

My VZ 58's fit, my Colt LE6940 as well as my Remmington 870. Mini 14's are a lil' small but I have a piece of foam rubber that I wrap around to make it work.

My Remington 1100 won't fit. My old truck had a gun rack in the back window (I live in TN, and I am a redneck) so when my trusty shotgun wouldn't fit, I was a little hurt. I talk to my dad and he's got a couple guns that may fit. I'll let you know after I visit him for Christmas.

Post some pics of that truck, sounds like it should be in excellent shape. Now I think someone else mentioned it already, ssshhh about guns.
