Hey Pete, Questons for you:Do you think that if you took two of these mop rails, unhooked the flexible "latch" from the bottom rail (to accommodate the stock), and then mounted them horizontally (as on the bed of a pick up truck or rear compartment of an SUV), then it might be possible to store 3 or 4 rifles horizontally? How soft is the flexible plastic? Do they make a larger size -- one that might better hold the stock end of a rifle? Can you tell us what company manufactures or imports these (I expect they must be made in China)? Thanks.
