My No. 15 Chest (Converted Bren Chest)

[jimmieZ]

I wanted a chest for my No. 4(T) sniper rifle - but could not afford a real one. Then I noticed on page 74 of the Laidler/Skennerton guide to these snipes that at one time converted Bren cases were used (prior to the chest No.15 MKI). So I acquired a used Bren chest and went to work on it with only the book's photo for reference. See the photos - I don't think it came out half bad. Of course I didn't have any pics of the interior - but I sort of copied the MKI chest photos I found.

Good effort! There was someone here in BC making exact replica No15 Chests, but I don't think he's been on the forum for a while.

Here are a couple quick pic's of my converted Bren chest that went through the Greek military at one time.

I seem to recall that on the original cconverted chests they remained the same as Bren chests but only the handles changed
