476684766747666Here is my attempt at making an M1 Locker. This is reproduced from actual drawings from the Rock Island Museum, graciously forwarded to me by Smokeeaterpilot. The originals can be seen in Sgt York during the rifle issue scene. I can't figure out why pictures are sideways, they aren't in my computer storage area.

That’s is a very nice project that looks great. How many rifles does it hold? Great job!

Nice work. Don’t suppose very many of the originals have survived.

Your rifles look interesting. How about posting some photos of them?

It's not been proven not to be by a number of people who have looked at it. I bought it years ago from a Navy Captain who acquired it at Camp Lejeune.
