Karabinerständer ( gunrack )
Hello All
After a discussion with RuPo about the gunrack that was used in bunkers , I have some questions in my part of the Atlantikwall there are 2 type's of gun racks one for K 98 only and one for M.G. an K 98 with 2 shelves on top , but
on original photo's we also see the gun in a rack mounted at the beds , who has found other models of these
weapon racks ??
Regards Jos
P.S. this one is a Luftwaffe type weapon rack there was one for 7 guns and one for 9 guns

In racks [EDIT] Oeps ... to quick, this was what Jos means , but there is a other type! [EDIT] Jos mean and who are typical for the Dutch part of the A'wall have place for four or five guns. The guns where standing equal to the wall, so the use minimal bunkerspace. Rack was thick about 0.15 metre. Placed in the entrance or gas shower place. This racks look like a outbreak tool rack. Hard to tell what i mean, sorry have no picture .... ;-(

Re: Karabinerständer ( gunrack )
Hi Jos,
The standard type found in the C.I. which would hold 4 rifles and there are some examples of a identical rack to hold just 2 rifles These photos are of examples at Elizabeth castle, Jersey.
The rack in the last photo is unusial I think it is to hold a MG???
Any ideas
