When I imported many No.4Mk.1T and L42A1 rifles back in the late 90's and early 2000's, there were lots of issues with the chests that had been protecting the old girls for decades. I just repaired the chests in need before I resold them. I still have some spare replacement wood pieces that I made. I even had some of the sheet metal corners for the L42 chests made by a local sheet metal guy that were perfect. No big deal.
