The transit chest is a good place to keep your Brengun. However it is very heavy when containing a Brengun and tools. Need two people to pick the chest up.
If you are going to build a chest. Build it long enough to contain an Inglis MKII Bren. This was the longest Brengun made.
There was also a short chest to fit the MK III short barrel airbourn version.

I have my Inglis MKII 1943 in a Britishicon chest. It only just fits with the flat butt plate fitted.

My other Bren is a Inglis MKIm 1942. This lives in a Royal Navy/Royal Marines 7.62mm Brengun chest. Fits OK. The MKIm is about 2" shorter than the MKII.

Both of my Brengun transit chests were nearly fire wood and had to be sympetheticly repaired. I paid £10 for my British Army chest and £40 for the RN chest.
http://www.cgmilitaria.com have got one on sale for £250. Which is expensive!
Hope the info helps.
Kind regards, Lester
