Is anyone in the U.S. currently remaking the no. 15 transit case for the no. 4 T rifle at a reasonable cost?

Do not know about the USA, Island Accuracy in Tassie do a faithful repro for $500/Au then you have to get it there still the Au dollar is very flat so may be worth a look
have you already looked at the ones being made in canada?
No 4 Mk1 T Transit box Reproductions/Canadian Version
If your handy with a saw and can do dovetails then have a look in the knowledge library, there is a set of blueprints see link below ....... and remember your not building a Queen Anne Chair, its a transit chest designed to keep the the contents in good order while in transit or storage etc.Quote:

Are they still in business? I had sent an email to them a year ago and never got a reply. The website does not look to have been updated since then.Quote:

Even simpler answer. Get the drawings and then put an ad in the local newspaper asking if there is a retired carpenter or cabinet maker who will do it for pocket money plus costs. Like someone said......., we ain't talkin' Chippendale here!
Grant made me one, a special order, with. a clear front panel, for my 1943 Long Branch prototype (T). An excellent job with superb worksmanship.
