    Dan, don't the metal strips in the lid line up with the baffles, to hold them in solid when the lid is closed?

    Terry, sorry I couldn't remember where I had got the pics from. I wouldn't name the original poster anyway, so as not to cause a stampede to your door, as has happened in the past with some HT pics. With your permission, I would like to keep a copy of the rest of them. I have to create from scratch baffles for my HT chest, so an idea of dimensions as you have posted will be a great help.
    Thanks again for your pics!

    Dan, as you say the slat holding the bayonets sits at the top. Photo attached. Son, anything posted by me is welcome to be used by all who are interested. I'm glad that they could be of use to you. If I can be of further assistance, just send me a private message.

  3. Thank You to Terrylee For This Useful Post:

    I picked up an 8 gun box today off Ebay minus the inserts, the owner gave them away to a mate who need them for his box The original owner purchased the box containing three Lithgow's from the Australianicon army in the 80's sadly he no longer has the rifles either.

    Aussie, I will be interested how you go at Bunnings I may have to make up a set for my self
