| Hi, does anyone have dimensions plan of the chest? I've got an Enfield n.7 and I'de like to build a chest reproduction. I found a picture of plan on the net but, unfortunely, it's blurred and i'm not able to read clearly dimensions indicated. Thanks in advance for your help. Salut! |

I couple years ago I made a post here of the proper Enfield rifle shipping crates. (They also shipped the bayos with them). Dennis Walker had a number of the piled out back of his place..so I took pics & measurements. You will have to scroll back a ways to find it now - cause I didn't keep the info. ------------- Loose wimmen tightened here |

The stuff I posted wasn't for the model "T". It was a proper shipping crate of Enfields. But U must have got the wires crossed, because I wasn't the one looking for the info ------------- Loose wimmen tightened here |

not at all. IIRC, the shipping crates I posted were marked with Aus markings, & I THINK they housed 10 Enfields & bayos. ------------- Loose wimmen tightened here |

I think this is a bit sharper. For best effect copy/past it into a graphics program & view it at about 125% ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

Beppe: Let me know if this is any better. I didn't realize there was another version floating around before. ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

Hi everybody!!! Thank you very much for your super precious interventions... Unfortunely I still have some problem to read each number of the plan.. Is there a solution to get them better? Peraps depends on the way of visualising them on my pc? Am I the only one to have this problem? |

The problem is its been copied so many times its beginning to just disintegrate. My best attempt was by printing it on to "regular" 8 1/2 X11" paper at actual size, not filling the paper, & just staring at it.  ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs.

I have No7 box holder in storage in CT. Do you can me to ship it to you, if you will return it, so you can mass produce them? ------------- Always looking for military manuals, Dodge M37 items,books on Berlin Germany, old atlases ( before 1946) , military maps of Scotland.

Thanks Shamu for your generous idea. But it's going to be to complicate obviously.. Anyway, of course, if you're coming in Naples let me know, you'll find a friend! I think i'll try to build a crate around my n.7 by taking estetical inspiration from the plan published and from pictures.. |

| I have an original S.A. No.15 Mk1 transit chest. Fair condition. All paint, hinges, carrying straps and inside felt intact. Wood cracked in places. Anyone know what its worth? |

| I would like to see this chest. If you live in the Phoenix area I can meet you someplace mutually agreed upon. I'm willing to drive as far north as Flagstaff and ad far south as Tucson. If the transit chest is not too badly damaged in the area you described, I'd be willing to barter with you... |
