Bren chest converted for No4T

[ArtioZen]

Anybody have example photos of the oroginal converted Bren chests to house the first No4Ts? Am interested in internal fittings, handles and WW2 period stenciling. I have an early Maltby to consider housing this way..

Many thanks in advance!

Not much help but here is mine, repainted and ended up in Greece.

Any chance you could put up some pics of your Maltby? I also have an early Maltby T (four digit serial) ya just dont see many of them about

Thanks Lance - am I right to observe that the Bren issue metal lid edge has been removed? If so, That has to make it much lighter!

tonyd - give me a little time to photo the MalTby - it came to me via Inda or similar serviced and is well maintained - although a couple of parts are switched for later versions by Savage (cocking piece etc).

Looks like I can save my derelict Bren chest to house the MalTby - Ill be able to pattern the parts involved for others and also the Bren chest parts I take off - dissection imminent!

Yes, the metal lid edge has been removed on mine, good luck on your conversion!
