Mike, it is one of the angle irons that a rubber rest mounts on at the top edge of the hull. there is one on the back and one on the right side, each with 3 bolt holes, but different lengths.

It is the inner rear rifle rest mount, the outer most one has a 45deg cut on it, the only other short rifle rest is mounted on the drivers side armour just behind the bulkhead (in front of the pintle mount bracket, but that has four rivet holes rather than three

Default Cross tube cover

Hi,
I'm taking a stab at repairing a bunch of the lighter gauge rusted out carrier chunks. Sometime in its history, it looks like someone used a cold chisel to hack out a piece above the access hatch. Is there supposed to be a hole in this location to lubercate the drivers side cross tube roller?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
