There is also a third short type.

I have one out of a cab 13 truck and it is only 4 inches long. I assume it was for a Sten or Thompson smg.

Default Lynx rifle clips

Dave.

The Lynx uses two. They are slightly different to each other, to secure the Lee Enfield, in a horizontal position, above the radio shelves.

Your twisted brackets are factory twist, I have several pairs of matched left and right with a twist. I have not bothered yet to determine what their particular application is compared to a flat bar mount and I won't throw out an unsubstantiated theory until I've actually done some research to back it up.

Default Interestink....!!!!!

Hi Grant

Two comments....

Your clip arms do not appear to be as twisted as the one posted by super Super Dave....

..and they appear, if you move your fingers to have only 2 holes....

I have noted that the cab 13 here at thebarn have two holes on the cab 13 and 3 holes intended for machined screws 1/4 20 I beleive.

Do you arms have two or 3 holes???

Will send you a PM on the NOS ones....since my cab 11 was before the rubber shortages the rubber ones would be approriate.

Just when you think you have it figured out....something else pops up....

cheers

I see that Dave`s twisted brackets are the shorter ones I presume are for a cab 11or12, mine are the longer cab 13 style and have 2 diagonal holes for mounting to the cab and 3 holes to attach the rifle clip at the top.
