Guess the title says it all, After spending the day cleaning up my new Ishampore No.1 Mk3* i decide to try stacking here is the result.

Good, now when the Germans attack, you, your wife, and your kid won't waste time running back to their rooms to arm themselves

The Germans guess i better get the bandoliers out just in case. Hmmm, now where did i put those sand bags and barbed wire, The germans didn't happen to mention around what time they will be arriving did they? so much to do. i have just realized that bored is a bad thing for me to be.

You need another rifle.

I stack mine when I take them up to shoot in my sand pit. Works really well in keeping dirt out of the actions.

However, I need to four rifles to do this, otherwise I can't shoot one without laying the other two down.

Perhaps this is the excuse that you need to justify buying another one!

Englishman, thanks to your picture I actually understand how these rifles are stacked!

I'd do it with my enfields, but the carbine is a little short to support the other two

How did this concept work? As soon a someone or two grabs their rifle, wouldn't the other ones all fall over into chaos? It's great, keeps em off the ground etc but...wonder how well it worked when the schmidt hit the fan...

Drill

Ya, with three stacked, you can lean more rifles onto the pile! And they all have to be grabbed at once or they fall into a pile of pick-up-stiks.

But I betcha that grabbing a rifle quickly was one of the drills that a rifleman practiced many, many times.

Some of the recent Turkish surplus LE No.4 rifles that have appeared have piling rods added to the front barrel band mounted with the band screw.

Jerry, I think the hamster needs water.

Wouldn't you run the risk of picking up someone else's beat-up pos rifle, while they got your pristinely maintained, perfectly-zeroed rifle?

Oh fer shame!
Americans stack rifles, The Commonwealth "piles arms" Thats why its called a piling swivel

You also need a tent pole and a bell tent to use that
