Default Lee Enfield chests

There are two similar chests. They are so big and bulky that they are more of a pain in the a$$ to drag out. Then you'll have some camo' belly, gun store commando, veteran of the summer cadet camp campaigns, say he's used to have a dozen back when as he brags about what a great shot he was. Spare us!

The CNo.7 chest for the .22LR training rifle is quite common. If stored indoors and not too wildly painted, they will go $25-$100 at the gun shows. A split or rotted one is only worth the price of the hardware. I bought 3 dozen busted ones for $10 ea.

The other one is the No.15 sniper rifle chest. It is about 2" taller than the .22 chest, has a little flip-up block to keep the lid from falling, and typically has folded-over leather handles. They are worth talking about in private.
