Peter? or Paratrooper--? on No. 5 Rifle Valise jump case.

[breakeyp]

During WWII, Britain made 2 heavy felt cases to fit the BREN and No. 4 rifle to protect them during container drops into Europe. They were later modified by adding a pocket and 20 foot strap attached so that the rifle could be lowered by the man prior to parachute landing. The No.4 rifle case was 8 x 44 inches.

The question is did they make a shorter case for the No.5 or just use the No.4 case and let the rifle slop around some? Thanks, p. If they had a new case, how long was it?

For some reason I could not add photos to this edit. I have posted pictures of the case further down this thread.
