Compatibility

The universal rifle holder was used on various military vehicles, not only on jeeps. When fitting the machine gun mount M48, the rifle holder had to be relocated to the vertical position on the left-hand side of the vehicle.
Historical context
The universal rifle holder was developed to carry various weapons: M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, BAR, Thompson, Grease Gun and Springfield/Enfield rifles. The mounting hardware was specified in the Ordnance Supply Catalog dated 15 February 1945.
