Wheelchair Rifle Mount
A rifle’s handguard portion  rests in the U-shaped clamp at the end of a pipe that extends up from the Wheelchair’s frame, that pipe supported by other components as described.

The Wheelchair Rifle Mount used by Davis, SD, farmer Harlan Temple is "U"- clamped onto the side of his wheelchair's frame. The mount consists of (a) a pipe that extends up from the frame, (b) a smaller rod that inserts into the pipe, (c) a horizontal arm welded to the rod that reaches to the middle of the chair seat, and (d) a rifle support bracket attached to the horizontal arm. The rod slides freely up and down in the pipe to vary the height of the mount, and a "T"-handled set screw holds the rod in place at the desired height.
