A gun rack is disclosed particularly adapted for mounting a shotgun within the passenger compartment of an automobile, positioned muzzle down alongside the driver's seat. The gun rack includes an elongated frame member supported at its rear by a pair of support legs, which are independently adjustable in length and angle, and each fastened to the floor in a lowered position to establish the muzzle down position of the mounted shotgun. Rotatably adjustable hinges at the ends of either leg and the forward end of the frame, together with the adjustability of the legs, enable mounting to the widely varying transmission tunnels and floor contours of different automotive models. The barrel of the shotgun is received in an element carried by the rack in a position above the forward end of the frame, which position is adjustable lengthwise to accommodate different shotgun barrel lengths. The element may take the form of a plug recieved within the bore of the shotgun, or a partially cylindrically shaped seat receiving the outside diameter of the forward end of the gun barrel. Also, an adjustable position trigger shroud is provided surrounding the trigger region of a shotgun disposed in the rack to prevent accidental discharge.

1. A gun rack providing an adjustable support for mounting long guns on the floor tunnel of automotive passenger compartments comprising: an elongated main support member; a pair of leg assemblies mounted along said main support member, said leg assembly including means mounting one end of each of said leg members to said main support member, said means allowing independent adjustment of the relative angular position of each of said legs with respect to said main support member; a mounting platform secured to said main support member and adapted to mount a locking assembly configured to receive and retain a long gun therein; mounting means carried by the other end of each of said leg assemblies, and on a front end of said main support member offset from said leg assemblies, each of said mounting means comprising a mounting plate and pivot means pivoting each of said mounting plates to each other end of each leg assembly and front end of said main member respectively, said pivot means for said mounting plate carried by said front end of said main member allowing both up and down and side to side pivoting movement of said mounting plate, said side to side pivoting movement being substantially unlimited to enable disposition of said mounting plate substantially perpendicularly and along one side of said front end of said main support member to be able to be fastened against a side surface of said tunnel contour, whereby adjustable three point support of said main support member on a tunnel contour is enabled. 2. The gun rack according to claim 1 further including a gun barrel receiving element and means mounting said element above the front end of said main support member and adapted to receive the barrel of a long gun mounted in said rack to laterally stabilize the front end thereof. 3. The gun rack according to claim 2 wherein said means mounting said gun barrel receiving element comprises an elongated support shaft slidably received within a bore extending into said front end of said main support member, and means for securing said support shaft in adjusted positions in said bore to enable adjustments for varying barrel lengths of mounted long guns. 4. The gun rack according to claim 3 wherein said gun barrel receiving element comprises a non-metallic flanged plug extending rearwardly from said front end of said main support, and sized to be inserted into the bore of the barrel of a long gun, the forward end of said barrel abutting against said flange. 5. The gun rack according to claim 1 wherein said means mounting each of said leg assemblies to said main support comprises a collar affixed to said one end of each of said leg members and wherein said main support member includes a cylindrical section receiving each of said collars with a running fit therein to enable said angular adjustment. 6. The gun rack according to claim 5 wherein each of said leg members of said leg assemblies is comprised of a tubular upper member having one of said collars affixed thereto, and a lower member slidably received in said tubular upper member, and means for securing said lower member in any adjusted position therein to enable length adjustment of said leg members. 7. The gun rack according to claim 1 wherein each of said leg members is of adjustable length. 8. The gun rack according to claim 6 wherein each of said lower leg members has said mounting means mounted at the lower end thereof, and wherein each of said mounting means carried by said leg members is comprised of a two-element hinge, said elements pivotable about a hinge axis, and wherein one of said elements of each of said hinges is pivotally mounted to a lower leg member for angular adjustment about an axis transverse to said hinge axis. 9. The gun rack according to claim 8 wherein said mounting means carried by said front end of said main support member is comprised of a two-element hinge, said elements pivotable with respect to each other about a hinge axis and further including means mounting one of said elements to the front end of said main support member, allowing pivoting about an axis transverse to said hinge axis to enable angular adjustment thereof. 10. The gun rack according to claim 1 further including a saddle-shaped trigger shroud and means mounting said shroud to the rear end of said main support member oriented to enable said trigger shroud to be positioned about and below the regions adjacent the trigger of a long gun disposed therein. 11. The gun rack according to claim 10 wherein said means mounting said trigger shroud to said rear end of said main support includes a pair of spaced rods slidably received therein; and wherein said trigger shroud is affixed to said rods to enable front and rear adjustment of the position thereof. 12. The gun rack according to claim 11 further including a gun barrel receiving element and means mounting said element above the front end of said main support member and adapted to receive the other barrel of a long gun mounted in said rack to stabilize the front end thereof. 13. The gun rack according to claim 12 wherein said means mounting said gun barrel receiving element comprises an elongated barrel support member slidably received within said bore extending into said front end of said main support member, and means for securing said barrel support member in adjusted positions in said bore to enable adjustments for barrel length. 14. The gun rack according to claim 13 wherein said gun barrel receiving element comprises a non-metallic flanged plug extending rearwardly from said front end of said main support, and sized to be inserted into the bore of the barrel of a long gun, the forward end of said barrel abutting against said flange. 15. The gun rack according to claim 14 wherein said means mounting each of said leg assemblies to said main support comprises a collar affixed to said one end of each of said leg members and wherein said main support member includes a cylindrical section receiving each of said collars with a running fit therein to enable said angular adjustment. 16. The gun rack according to claim 15 wherein each of said leg members of said leg assemblies is comprised of a tubular upper member having one of said collars affixed thereto, and a lower member slidably received in said tubular upper member, and means for securing said lower member in any adjusted position therein to enable length adjustment of said leg members. 17. The gun rack according to claim 15 wherein each of said leg members is of adjustable length. 18. The gun rack according to claim 16 wherein each of said lower leg members has said mounting means mounted at the lower end thereof, and wherein each of said mounting means carried by said leg members is comprised of a two-element hinge, said elements pivotable about a hinge axis, and wherein one of said elements of each of said hinges is pivotally mounted to a lower leg member for angular adjustment about an axis transverse to said hinge axis. 19. The gun rack according to claim 2 wherein said gun barrel receiving element is comprised of a partially cylindrical stirrup element, and said means mounting said element is comprised of a support plate affixed to said front end of said main support member, said support plate being formed with a through bore aligned with said stirrup element. 20. The gun rack according to claim 12 wherein said gun barrel receiving element is comprised of a partially cylindrical stirrup element, and said means mounting said element is comprised of a support plate affixed to said front end of said main support member, said support plate being formed with a through bore aligned with said stirrup element.
