ABSTRACT:
A gun rack is disclosed particularly adapted for mounting a shotgun within the passenger compartment of an automobile, positioned muzzle down alongside the driver's seat.
The gun rack includes an elongated frame member supported at its rear by a pair of support legs, which are independently adjustable in length and angle, and each fastened to the floor in a lowered position to establish the muzzle down position of the mounted shotgun. Rotatably adjustable hinges at the ends of either leg and the forward end of the frame, together with the adjustability of the legs, enable mounting to the widely varying transmission tunnels and floor contours of different automotive models.
The barrel of the shotgun is received in an element carried by the rack in a position above the forward end of the frame, which position is adjustable lengthwise to accommodate different shotgun barrel lengths. The element may take the form of a plug recieved within the bore of the shotgun, or a partially cylindrically shaped seat receiving the outside diameter of the forward end of the gun barrel. Also, an adjustable position trigger shroud is provided surrounding the trigger region of a shotgun disposed in the rack to prevent accidental discharge.
