That price for the packing slip sounds fine. I am on the road right now, but I will email you Monday when I get back.

Thanks.

It would appear that all the stock I have is now accounted for and sold. In hindsight I could have bid on the other two chests.... but I did not think at the time that I would need them.

How scarce are the Lee Enfield boxes...... I may have aline on a couple of them is someone is interested.

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.

Default collector's sickness?

Eric! Are you feeling OK? Your shelves are empty! Something must be wrong. Collectors around the world ALWAYS have full shelves. Especially people who collect guns, gun parts and shooting accessories.
