Hi All:
Does anyone have a pic of the rifle attachment on the "rollbar" when the rifles are in storage mode? Not sure if they attached to the front or the back of the bar.


thanks

The attach to the back side of the bar, over a raised rubber boot to hold the butt of the rifle that is between the inner and outer body tubs.

Thanks Sticky, but I was hoping to get an actual photo, the clamps on the tamiya model seem alittle suspect to me, but I have no real reference. I only have a Kubelwagen photo, not sure if these clamps would be the same, as there is room for 4 rifles on the kubel version.

I have pics of a restored vehicle. The Tamyia ones, while too thick, are a fair representation of the real thing.
