thanks

If I recall, it's the same size as a 20rd. mag.

I'm anxious to see how the case turns out. I'd try my hand at it if I had time, I'm a

carpenter by trade.

 

I think the dust lips will be tricky. What type of wood are you going to use, it will

have to be stable.

 

I've seen European 3/8" finish plywood and was impressed with the quality.

wood is european 3/8 plywood, and yes the quality is indeed much better than what I see at Menards,

Original box was 5/16 yellow pine which was tongue and grooved. The lip was a one piece of steel which was placed on top lid. The bottom was beveled so the steel would not hit and to give it a better seal. That is what is on my original box

Casper, I will measure mine and post the measurements when I get home from work.

Sorry not tongue and groove, it is dove tailed. It has been awhile since I played with wood

It'll be nice to see pix when you're done. Will you post the plans you're using?
