RIFLE MOUNTING CLIPS ON MILITARY BICYCLES

CYCLE COPRS EQUIPMENT will be invaluable when seconds matter – and the success of meeting any emergency lies in the speed with which you are prepared to meet it.

– Advert for Terry’s Rifle Clips

The War Office stipulated set patterns for military equipment, and that included rifle-mounting clips for military bicycles. However, specifications varied over a period of time and, these days, it’s not easy to find original sets. Luckily they are not too difficult to re-manufacture. On this page you can see various styles of original rifle clips (including a civilian set from the 1908 Brooks catalogue), as well as a set we’ve made ourselves (still waiting for old-style nuts and bolts to be fitted to it). I hope this provides enough information for you to have a go yourself.
