Wanted: 3.7" AA ammo box

[rnixartillery]

you could be right there Jack,I have an empty bren box buried under Pile of crap so I need to dig it out and check the numbers stamped into the box lid.
There are quite a few dealers over here still selling them full of mags,I think the full boxes are selling for around £120 which isn't badly priced really.
Sorry to move away from the original subject but ammo boxes are becoming extremely collectable over here at the moment especially if they have nice original markings.

I bought this C235 Box one a few years ago, but unfortunately it did not come filled with Bren magazines.

I used two of these boxes to make a tool box. I cut the bottom from a complete one and welded it on top of one without a lid. They overlad perfectly. It looks just like two boxes stacked on top of each other. I wanted to add a third to make the box bigger. That is why I didn't need a box with a lid. And didn't want to wreck a good box or spend too much on one. Funny where this thread has gone and what has been learned.

Still looking by the way.

Makes you weep! All our Aussie Mags gone over there and you don't value them like we do! In the years since I've been associated with the Lithgow Small Arms Factory Museum, I've never seen a 50 mag chest. They're not listed in the approved lists of accessories. I think it was probably an expedient means to ship large numbers of mags.

Perhaps Toole's have sold the nicer 3.7 boxes by now, but they did have a couple of pallets of them, as well as plenty of the usual Bren 12 mag chests (empty).
