arnhem44mad Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Does anyone have any pictures of the crates Garands would have been stored in during the war when being transported in bulk? Would like to get a couple knocked together for our reenactment display. Same goes for thompson? I have tried searching the internet but can get no concrete evidence on specific crates. Many thanks!

arnhem44mad Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Thank you! I found some pics online of how to make them but i think they'd be a big bulky. Might have a go at making crates which can hold 3 rifles each! Scott Link to post Share on other sites
