AI L96/PM/AW Metal Transit Chest Length

**Jacob** · 10-15-2022 11:05 AM

Would anybody with an AI metal transit chest be able to let me know how long it is? Need to transport one soon but don't know if it will fit in my car, any help is much appreciated, just looking for its overall external length!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I seem to recall that there were TWO variations of the L96 chest. A shorter one where the rifle fitted 'snugle' and another that was a bit longer. This was allowed by the procurement people in order that AI could use the same chest - with slightly different foamy type inserts for different weapons/national requirements.

Made bu some company in Portsmouth - as were the foamy type inserts that were notorious for breaking down!
