    On the right side of Australia, below the middle and a little bit in from the edge.

    Fergs... a few years ago a bunch of us were looking to organise a tour of Warren's shed but decided it would be too expensive to hire enough Sherpas to carry the provisions we'd need in case we got lost in there.

    Here's a couple of crates/ boxes. There's the twenty rifle rack which holds SMLE's one way and L1A1's if you turn it upside down. Second pic is the HT chest inside the rack...I suppose the pic belongs in the accessories thread too...

    OHHH!!!! I just love those cases for the Auzzie Pattern 18 scope....Any chance they show up as I could use three or four.....
    Also need one of the locking levers for the rear mount should one ever fall off and be found on the floor with the sweepings :-)##
    The auzzie arms chests were used in the 1950's by Churchill gun makers in the UKicon to ship sporterized Lee Enfields to Canadaicon for the surplus market. I unloaded hundreds of them piled with SMLE's and No.4's .....to turn back the clock when they were $9.95 but then you only made 85 cents and hour

    I have a polystyrene box, but not one which details what suppose to be in it. Looks like only a 6 digit serial number for the rifle?
