Now what are you going to do with your AR?



Nice mod! I have tossed my glock in the center console in a padded holster from time to time.

Hey Snake, how did you get the screws in. Are they all in the front of the box or does it come with some kind of mounting bracket? I don't understand how you could get a drill inside of it? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

There are 6 mounting holes, 3 in the front & 3 towards the rear. The center one in the rear is optional, the two on the sides are slotted (with a keyhole-looking channel). There's a paper template for you to mark the spots & predrill the holes, I skipped the rear middle one as it would be near impossible to get in there even with a right angle rachet as the case tappers towards the back.

After the holes are drilled, you start with the slotted ones in the rear by inserting the screws just before they are fully tightened, then you slide the rear of the case in till it stops, then you can reach in from the front opening to secure the 3 front screws.

I used a right angle rachet from my Chapman gun screw driver kit and was able to tighten everything down, including the 2 in the rear, just takes a bit of time and patience.

I then went ahead & used some black silicone to cover the protruding screws from the underside, and finally slipped some screw protectors over the exposed tips.

Here are pics of my new mod. Bought it for $ 110.00 at the Gun Show. 5 Screws to secure it. It is completely out of sight, unless looking from the console. It will hold any full size handgun. This is with my Beretta 92 Elite II.

Snake...which model is yours?

Snake,

How long a bolt did you use to go through the floor? Can the seat back of the double seat be folded flat after you installed the GV?

It is attached with 5 1 1/2" screws. You mark the holes with a templet and drill the holes.

The back does fold almost flat. You don't even notice it. I'll take some more pics in the morning. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Screwed, not bolted?

These guys have it for $100 shippd, including batteris & security cable, though they charge tax in CA, still not a bad deal IMHO.

Great Idea, My Stainless Beretta 92 FS Brigadier should fit perfectly in that. I want this setup. Cool thing about it is the fact that it's safe.
