Lee Enfield No4T transit chest plans.

#1 Post by shotgun sam »

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had design plans for making a transit chest for a Lee Enfield No4T.

Thanks

Sam

Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

You have to scroll down to it.
Excellent - no excuse now. Need a photo diary of construction and the finished result.

Hi Sam
You looking to recreate the L42 transit case as above or the smaller No4T transit case, i know someone who has an original i could photograph and measure if thats what your looking for.
I know there's modern copies made to the correct spec out there but all a bit too expensive for me.

I personally will not be making a transit case, my friend has a No4T and the RFD he uses started as a cabinet maker before getting into shooting. Gav is thinking of getting the RFD to make a transit case hence why I was asking if anyone could help with plans.

The RFD (Tim) made the shoulder stock for the pistol on the web page, he also make a high quality box for the pistol and shoulder stock. Gav had saved some large branches from a Lime tree on his dads farm and wanted it to be made from that.

I will take some photos and measurements for you the next time i call round, i believe theres someone one ebay or the web who sells the furniture required for the transit cases.
I looked into doing this myself but the cost and lack of woodworking skills has ruled it out.

Ha, that sounds like a worthwhile project. I am tempted to make one for my P14 Sniper.
