I always thought that a guitar case was the best way to carry a short shotgun

I think I paid less then $50 for a black "Levis" base case, with shoulder strap (Back-pack). Bought at Archambault, a local music store... A mandolin case should be a perfect fit for a 14" barrel shotgun, most mandolin are about +/- 26" in length.
How convenient...

If you are going to a store to look at them, bring yourself a tape measurer... Otherwise you'll get a salesman trying to get you to describe your instrument to find out what works best...

If anybody ask, I'm not much of a musician... I only make noise for the fun of it.

I've wondered about a guitar case before. Any issues with the legality? Anybody think it would be considered "concealing a weapon"?

 

[jiffydawg]

forget the gun case... you are deffinitely asking for trouble with that but back on topic, where to look for good non generic cases anyone?

I had the same kind of question when I was looking for an inexpensive case for my m6 scout. Pistol cases too small, rifle cases too large.

Check the variety of tool cases at Canadian Tire. Glue in some foam.

Non generic = custom. If you can't find what you need maybe you can modify something to work for you! Are you looking for a hard or a soft case?

I picked up a Bulldog case from Questar. Actually, I got two, one for my 14 inch norinclone and one for the R22. I believe Mark has a 35 inch and a 44 inch in stock. The HP9-1 wouldn't have fit into the shorter case so I got the larger model.

I suspect when the Spec-Ops stocks come in, the gun will fit in the smaller case.
For the money, i think they are well worth it.

Wholesale sports has a really great shorty shotgun case made by tacstar. I'm buying one for my wee shotgun. 35" OAL I think.
