Gun mount options behind the rear seat?

[Spence's bumper sticker]

If you unlatch the rear seat back, there's two metal pieces bolted onto the rear cab wall that I'm thinking could be used to hang a rifle. Has anyone seen any sweet gun storage projects they can share?

I think what you're seeing are the child seat restraints. You could probably attach a MOLLE panel to them and rig something up.

"Technically," if I had a 50 BMG mounted in this it wouldn't matter where it was.

Was that the guy who used grey man tactical stuff? That looked nice.

I think that set up requires a white Toyota Hilux…??

The only thread I found was this one. He just mounted his AR behind the seat.

I have a side folding AK with a HD combination bike cable that goes through the trigger guard and the stock. Not safe like being in a true safe. I tried pretty hard to yank it out and nothing budged. My goal was to prevent smash and grab break ins from taking it.

I am guessing you are referring to me. My rifle is hidden in a floor platform compartment with electronic RFID access (keycard in my wallet). My rear wall was another electronic access compartment, but I did not keep a firearm there, but I did use the hardware points he is referencing as mounting points.

I am not a fan of people who leave unsecured weapons in their vehicle. While not directly to be faulted for a criminal doing criminal things, with that said, it is merely my opinion that it is highly irresponsible. This mainly stems that I am the one who has to deal with the aftermath when its stolen.

At least a cable lock at minimum to a hard mount point is better than nothing.

That's why I like the RFID setup. Although I realized I need a little different setup cause of it being a supercab. Instead of flipping open maybe a drawer that slides up or down.

The RFID boxes/latches I get from Amazon are made for opening and closing (swing in/swing out) type of setups. For a sliding drawer you would need to get one designed with a plunger type locking mechanism.

I had considered going electromagnetic lock, but decided against it so the truck did not have to be powered on to access the contents.
