    Interesting WW2 carbine and M1 rifle rack

    I have been unable to find a photo or two in any manuals that show this rack. It will store carbines (lock bar for carbines not shown) and a lock bar for M1icon rifles. Only M1 carbines and M1 rifles will fit. The drawing number would indicate WW2 ? and you could place one rack on top of the other as there are holes. It was used by a unit at some point in time.Attachment 102565Attachment 102564

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    OK Robert,
    Your D#mn Rifle rack has drove me nuts since you posted the pictures. I think I looked at every picture on the internet and didn't find anything close to it.
    Closes I've seen would be a toss up between the rack used on Gun Smoke, The Rifleman and The Andy Griffith show...... none are a match.
    Then I typed in the D-7545-69 and hit a post in 'The Ask Each Other' forum on the CMPicon. Guy there back in 2015 posted what looks like 3 picture negatives, followed by a picture that no longer comes up.
    Maybe you know the poster, I can ask him and give him a link to this post, here's the link:
    D-7545-69 carbine rifle rack - CMP Forums

    Then for the heck of it I typed in the CO.E-351 and found a link to a Engineers unit.
    In the only link I found there is a time line of their travels:

    Co. E 351st Engineers - Introduce Yourself - VI CORPS COMBAT ENGINEERS WWII

    I'll PM the guy on the CMP and see if he's seen your Rifle rack before.

    Edit to Add: I've sent a PM to 7,62x51mm at the CMP

    Charlie, I am the CMPicon 7,62x51mm, the three photo negatives are not mine. I was never able to find out any additional information as the carbine and rifle
    racks are well made there must have been plans and there is a drawing number. Robert
