Try one of these?

[Chad4000]

Anybody ever use one of these? Looked kind of intriguing... Think it could work on the hood of a truck? Posting from my phone, so if the link doesn't work, maybe somebody could help me out. Thanks!

I'd do it in the trunk of a car long before I'd put it under the hood of a truck. Most trucks now a days wouldn't have the room to fit a whole rifle under there anyway.

Well,
There's Jerry MRC's rifle rack for his GTO. Now all he needs is a set of Maggies...[ROFL1]

Somehow the plastic furniture and live ammunition of an AR-15 in direct contact with the engine of a car doesn't seem like a good idea.

[Elhuero]

I've seen those in cop cars before

trunk only. would not work under a hood.

[blacklabel]

It could work under a tonneau cover on a truck but definitely a bad idea under the hood.

[Irving]

You can tell in the picture that it is for a trunk. Maybe on the back tail gate of an SUV as well.

[sniper7]

pretty stupid idea IMO. you have to pop the hood or the truck, then get access to it after you get out of your vehicle. I can recall at least 2 member issues on here that they were with their families in their vehicle with a very close call. popping the trunk or the hood to get to the weapon to provide defense was out of the question.

the ones that go on the rear glass are okay and provide access, but a handgun is the best chance when it comes to a vehicle.

besides, under the hood, the gun is going to get exposed to decently high temps on a constant basis. also the weather is a factor where rust and corrosion of the ammo can occur. space is an issue in new vehicles, I highly doubt this would fit in my 2010 silverado....my 97 probably would fit.

[Ridge]

I'm 99.27% sure it's for cop Crown Vics.

[Irving]

I'd say that at best, it would be better to have a rifle mounted to your trunk securely, instead of bouncing around in a case, taking up extra room. That really only goes for transporting though. However, I'd rather have a rifle mounted in my trunk, than under my bed at home. While many situations would make it impossible to reach, not ALL situations would. I'd call it 50/50. :)

I was thinking Vertical behind the seat...

[Irving]

You probably have enough room to mount on the roof in the Blazer right?

it would get in the way of the turret I am having mounted

:D

[sniper7]

it would get in the way of the turret I am having mounted

:D

[ROFL1] now that is fucking pimp!

[Chad4000]

:D

Lol.. Awesome.

I actually dont have the room in the hood of my silverado, but in an older truck, (like a standard cab, where space is a premium) and not directly over the engine, I bet it would work in the engine bay. You really think temps get hot enough say a foot away from the block, to cook off rounds?

Just not sure of the dimensions. crazy idea thats all haha

[Mtn.man]

This is more of my style.
And we are currently making one of these for a customer that has his FFL license for one.[Beer]

I have one set but I do not think they will fit. And for those that have always wondered. A set of Maggies. A planar speaker that I have owned various models of since 1976.

the idea behind this is that you mount a patrol rifle in the trunk and still carry a sidearm, if shtf then you can engage with your sidearm as usual, if more firepower is needed you fight to your long gun and transition, or if you are going into a situation that you know you might be outgunned you prep beforehand and get it out. there are better solutions out there then this rack, the one you have pictured is fairly unstable and unsecured, they make better ones. one thing i def would never do is mount anything under the hood. first off you do not want a firearm exposed to the extreme elements that are found under the hood of a vehicle, second if im pulling into a deadly situation i plan to use my engine block for cover so getting to the front of the vehicle is the last place i would want to be, third a rifle that has been sitting near a hot engine will be bad if you need to use it, it will be hot to touch, depending it may be covered in oil or any other fluid that can be found under the hood, and with it being hot imagine putting your cheek up to a hot rifle, and if you have optics they will be useless or destroyed, just a bad idea in general.....

I wouldn't worry about the plastic furniture under the hood. There is far more plastic on an engine nowadays. As far as the ammunition, not a good idea to expose it to long periods of hot temperatures.

Pretty neat idea though.
