Here is a dimension set for the No.4mK.1T transit case. The hardware is difficult but not impossible to find, check fleebay. The regular transit case isn't as tall as the "T" case. I posted this to give you a basic idea.

The stickied Lee Enfield Knowledge Base at the top of the Milsurp furum list has a truely staggering ammount of info. The plans Steppenwolf posted as well as a several threads on home built chests are linked to from the milsurps.com page as well.

I had to dig into the crate pile to pull these 3 samples out.

All are Canadian. The first one is for the Cno7 Enfield. It is kind of a lower version of the sniper chest. The second chest is a Canadian no15 chest, which is for the Cdn No4T sniper. The last chest is for 5 of the regular no4 rifles. It is a heavy chest. I also had another crate that held a dozen or so rifles, but it was Lithgow marked. Since it was not Canadian, I have it loaned out long term.

Thanks for posting the fiver, Sten. I've never seen one before.
I do own two of the low (standard) singles, though.

It is very similar in size to the sten transit chest. Here is a photo I have with mine almost filled (all dewats of course).

I was at Gobles in London the other day and they had one for sale. I believe it said No. 5 on it.
