Seeking pics of various rifle mounts / locations as installed for M939. Didn’t find much searching. Can be any truck, even if not yours. Just looking for ideas. Thanks.

"Over" had an M4 mounted to the inside of the driver's door.

This is the standard as issued location. The instructions that came with the rifle holder kit for the M939 series shows the dash location and the drivers door location. Can't seem to find the door mount picture. I didn't install the butt stock holders on the floor for the dash mounts as I thought they would get in the way and really don't need them.

I though you just kept them on your lap down in the D.

I’m in the same boat. I have a brand new kit, I can’t seem to figure out how it’s installed. I even have printed instructions that came with it, but nothing seems to line up.

I have a kit in the M35 and one I intend to install in the M817 (they are the same) and then there's the ones that came with the M1078. As far as I can tell the only difference between them is the spacer bracket for the M35/M809 dash (it's partly sloped and the M939 is flat). If I install the kit in my M936 I'll just not use the bracket like the picture above.
As far as instructions there aren't a lot (that were followed). They were installed kind of all over by the motor pool guys at the preference of the driver or crew. The kits were never made to keep a rifle near the driver and I think they were all made for an A2 model and never changed. So guys would install the kit over by the driver as a single and space them for an M4 and in the same cab would be a double by the dash spaced for an A2 but holding M4's..... The only real standard I've seen is the FMTV/LMTV platform I think the rest were optional and installed in the field.
I don't have first hand knowledge I was in the USCG so I asked some family members, who mostly did convoy work in Afghanistan, my uncle who retired a Colonel from the CA National Guard, and a bunch of 82nd Airborne guys that help me parade the trucks in my town. That was their input.

If its a kit, then whats the NSN. Maybe we can find out if its meant for your truck, or another type.

Referenced in: TM 9-2320-361-24P. M35A2 series trucks. I bet if you look in the M809 series 5 Ton -24P, it will be there also.
But the M939 might be another story. So I looked in the NSN Cross Reff. section, and its not listed there.
So, wrong kit for your truck. If you want the right kit, you need to look in the -24P for the M939.

I’ll take a picture of the instructions that came with it. It calls out M939. That’s what has me confused. I’ll look into this kit. You mentioned as well. Thanks for the assistance!

The door kits are used in several models. I have also seen this kit in a hemtt/pls door.
