    Nigel,
    I do have that, but that wasn't the definitive layout......however, as I say it is a personal thing and many units that ordered the rifle had various layouts to suit. This was more the L96 layout with cases and roll mats rolled up in the space below the rifle. So there's 3 variants all foamed on a different theme. Apologies for the tilting M85 image can't seem to right it. The colour PH page image is the luxury layout.......for those that could afford a strong arm as "everything" was in there!!
