Overhead Rail Gun Rack
 
I am determined to customize some sort of gun rack using the "Useless" overhead rails in my 06 F150. I have been sketching up some designs tonight paired with some Brews :thumbup: and I want to know it anyone has looked into doing the same.

I don't want to drill into my roof and I want to be able to take it off after the hunting season is over. Here is what I have so far....

Seems like an interesting idea.

Since rifles are rather heavy, and going down rough roads would increase the stress on the rails, I think I would look at a way to grip the inside, and outside of each rail rather than just the outside. That would make things a lot more secure.

Mike, Thank! I have seen that when I was looking online but the thing is I just don't know how I feel drilling into my roof and if I ever want to remove it during the off season have the holes be left.

Muddflap, I agree thats one thing I would be worried about.

I have this one that mounts on the back of my seats. I use it for my levels everyday, and my guns during deer season.

I like that setup, where did you pick that up ?

I can't remember exactly where I ordered it from, but i know cable's carries them. Walmart has them also.
I just googled "seat back gun rack", and a bunch of them popped up. Under $20 if I remember correctly.
