New case project.
I sold my AR a few months ago and picked up a really nice 30-06 and this little hog-leg I call Mule. Anyhow, I was in Austin a couple weeks ago and found an old fiddle case. It all clicked... I had to have it. Here is what I did:

That is really cool. I want one now. I don't think my BFR will fit in my wife's flute case though. Besides she'd kill me.

Good Job! Would not know it was a gun case if you looked just at the outside.

Nice work - I've never come across a modern case like that.
I like it. I've made a few pistol cases from older, wooden violin cases, that I've found @ yard/tag sales and/or a flea market.  This is what I usually have to start with, on the inside - but more tattered.  I just rip most of it out & try to color match the velour with same from a fabric shop, to cover the foam or pine insert I make to fit the handgun. . |

I really would like to have found an older case like that. I didn't have to worry about matching fabric because I gutted the whole thing and made the wood/foam inserts from scratch. I have always wanted a Tommy gun in a guitar case. Until then a 460 in a violin case will have to do. :-)

You keep the cases . . . I'll take the fiddles!
