Used plywood as I thought that would be in keeping with mid-war economies. Not all details pictured as I make changes from time to time. The pics show early verification of dimensions (I did make changes as a result of this early fitting), the completed box and divider with gun and ammo boxes in place, interior of the box showing leather protectors in place, carry handle detail and close-up of box top stencils.

Box used one sheet of 1/4 plywood and several feet of 1X2 pine. Fastened with drywall screws and glue. Some aging effect included, mostly my poor woodworking. However, I would think that most boxes were just shipping crates adapted to another use and thus crudely made in the first place. The box accommodates the gun with butt-stock and bipod attached. The box keeps the spare barrel, machete, cleaning rod, oilcans, manuals and other items handy.

This is my second box built, the first carries an A4 with tripod. Jon at Browning MGs has pics of it in the homebuilt section. I do enjoy the challenge of building these items with only handtools.

I like the stenciling.

Looks nice

All of the pics came out ok for me and the best that verizonmad can do in this area for dial up is 26.4kb thats states something.

I hope that I can build as nice a case when its time for mine.

Later 42rocker

The spare barrel is in a canvas case and just sits in the box under the gun. It is heavy enough not to bounce around but thinking about it I may add straps to hold it in place. Stencils are printed out on index card paper and hand cut. Spray them with a sealer and they can be used many times. A full length photo is just a bit more then seen in the longest shot. I will look to see if I have a good full length shot.

I have managed to retire early and this fill my time somewhat. Thanks for the kind words.
