Title: Rear Boxes
Post by: Dinadin on August 08, 2011, 08:49:43 PM

Does anyone have the dimensions for the rear boxes on a M16?  I am asking for some friends, I think that might be the one of the last large items they need for their M16 restoration.

 I am doing a M16. Are you needing measurements for the M16 or A1 or A2?

I need the dimensions for the longer narrow box on the back of an M16 if anyone has them.

 I am needing a long narrow box for the back of a early M13/M16 (so no rear door). Dimensions would help as well if no box can be had.
 Thanks

I think they would paint them according to customer specs so a lot of them got painted construction orange or yellow. I have an M15 painted both orange and yellow at different times I'll have to peek under the SP tag and see what color it is.
