[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3076593, member: 34578"] It started out in Fort Sill, went to Afghanistan, was damaged (corner was mildly broken), then used by a soldier to ship his stuff home. Once he was home he didn't need it and I got it from him. I gutted it, repaired the broken corner (minor repair really), then built a base for it to stand on end. Then I added the shelves and made a barrel rest for each side. I painted the shelves to match. On the outside, instead of repainting it I used a dark green stain to make it look more uniform but still leaving all of the wear and tear and original markings. I wanted to keep that to show that it did its duty and has the scars to prove it. Originally made to hold 8 rifles. It currently is holding 10. I really need another crate to convert. Lol Note: the first pic was taken 5 years ago and with a different camera so the color is a bit off. [ATTACH=full]113113[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]113112[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]113111[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
