The Gun Case Thread

Here is a cabinet that I have that I tend to forget the contents of at times. It stores some of my more frequently used cases. I apparently also have an unintentional shell belt and sling collection going on. Today I even found a couple .22’s hiding in behind the cases that I forgot I had. Crazy how fast stuff piles up over the years. There are some nicer cases in the other half of the cabinet worthy of highlight but that may need to wait for another day as they were too buried in boxes of ammo and weren’t easily accessible.

Bill, does that case hold two guns? Or just a single.

I have a couple cases like that that ho;d two guns and they are my favorite cases. Easy to use, easy to store, easy to travel with. I switch to a long zippered case when actually hunting for ease of getting in and out of the vehicle over the course of the day. Always on the lookout for more of those double ended, two gun cases.

It holds one gun only, with one set of 28" barrels.
It is indeed double ended---one end is for the gun and barrels---the other end has a compartment for cleaning gear---I think that a cleaning rod can be wedged along side the barrels which are protected by a sleeve to prevent rubbing against the cleaning rod.
I prefer the luggage style gun case but the leg-of-mutton is a close second.
For day trips to the gun range or nearby hunting, I prefer to keep my gun assembled and protected by a full length padded case.

Recently Pinfire posted an image of his Harris Holland cased gun. I recently obtained a very similar case built for a percussion gun thanks to WR1894.
Stained and tired, it may be a restoration project for me this winter but I don't yet have a gun appropriate to it.
Here are both these casespinfiresCase.jpgcgn.JPGIMG_1798.JPGlabel.JPG.

Patrick thought there ought to be one so lets see if it gets enough traction to be sticky-ed. Feel free to join in with your own cases whether vintage, modern, re-done, original, pristine, or needing some love.

I'll start with this one from my works-in-progress thread.
This old girl had one frayed original strap on one side and a man's belt on the other. Handle long gone.

Where would one source good quality traditional styled hard cases designed for SxS shotguns? Online searches are not coming up with much other than plastic or soft sides tactical cases.

Somewhere I have the name of the company that bought out Jeff’s mailing list and production contacts in Mexico. When I get home I’ll dig it up.

The last I looked I could not tell the difference and the price change was negligible. But that was about 18 months ago and before all the border chaos.

Holt's Auctions in England usually have a number of English cases for sale. They have an auction coming up soon.
You could also try Guns International's web site---they list American and British cases.
