    Modifying a Cno7 transit chest into a faux No 15 sniper chest

    Can someone explain in what way a No 15 sniper chest differs from a Cno7 chest? Somebody on here will have both...

    If someone added a 2 inch row of wood around the bottom sides, would that be the only difference?
    Is the internal layout different? Does the rifle cradle go further down in?
    I know the handles are leather vs the web on the Cno7 boxes...

    Anyone have a stencil of the correct No 15 printing and info on what grade/colour of green paint to paint a box with?

    The likelihood of getting the right box these days is pretty low without real deep pockets...

    Someone on ebay was recently selling such a modded chest...better than nothing I say.
