Hmm didnt know the Ruskies tested snow camo

 

[whiteinterceptor]

ya, that's the only one I bought "used", the other ones were picked fresh from the crate

 

[gordonlbyrne]

Original snow camo? Looks good from above. I want the round multi drum experimental mags....

You need to fill the bottom with SKS's or something

Granades, granades will fill the bottom nicely....

Technically a 1/3rd of a crate....

nope, this crate only holds 10 rifles, had it full once and there's no room for another level

Interesting, never owned or seen a crate that only held 10.

Your crate still has the storage for 15 magazines. Does it have the bayonet storage brackets too? I’ve only had 1 crate that had that (no bayos unfortunately), must have been nabbed and sold off in Ukraine when they pulled everything out to pin the mags....

this is the only svt40 crate I've seen so I'm not sure what the bayonet brackets look like. bayo's were absent when this one was opened up too.

 

[gordonlbyrne]

Mine holder 15 rifles as well as mag rack ,not sure about the bayo future as they didn't come with bayos

Ya, to my knowledge there were no 10 gun SVT crates.

It looks to me like 15-rifle crate. Can you measure the crate height and let me know?
P.S. There were 10-rifle crates. WW2 crates had only 10 rifles and also some of the rifles delivered to Canada from Ukraine were in 10-rifle crates, but I highly doubt they are war time made, may be made to same specs.

inside height measurement is 14", I may be wrong and it could be a 15 rifle crate. It arrived at my local store with 10 in it and I tried adding another sks wood divider to add the third level but it seems to be real close to the top.

 

[Horilka]

So 14" is 15-rifle crate.

sorry guys, I was wrong, Horilka set me straight on this one, thanks for the info

He has a habit of doing that I wasnt aware of 10 svt crates. Neat.

What are the outside dimensions of an svt crate, I have a specific project in mind for one but can't find one to measure one. LxWxH if you could give a measurement that would be real helpful.
