Smallest takedown case for Remington 870 18.5" ?

Anyone know what's the smallest case available to carry a Remington 870 with an 18.5" barrel in? I'm looking for a takedown type case where the barrel goes in one slot and the action in the other. Thanks!

The barrel length isn't critical, it's the mag cap to butt pad distance that governs. With most Remingtons it's about 34" inches. I use a Bob Allen 36" compartmentalized soft case.

Try Boyts & Brownells. Both sell take down style cases like you need.

You could spend a few hours in the garage and make a nice one out of wood. You could make it exactly the size you need and line it with foam and put a nice brass handle on it with a couple of latches.
