Standard Case for Shotgun or Double Rifle

Standard Shotgun Case Exterior

This is our standard take-down case configuration with four tools fitted into a lift-out tray plus an oil bottle and snap caps.  A basic case would have lidded compartments in those spaces occupied by tools.

Detail of Fitting and Accessories

Slant Front or "Coffin" Case

For those desiring a case of minimum weight and dimension with few or no accessories, we have recreated an early style trapezoidal case commonly known as a "Coffin Case". By fitting shotgun barrels on their side with the forearm attached, this style case can be made about fifteen percent smaller than a standard trunk case.

Fitting Customer-Supplied Tools and Accessories

Two Tier Trunk Cases with Lift-Out Tray

This is the strongest and most convenient configuration for casing guns and pairs of guns with multiple barrels and large numbers of extra items such as scopes, tools, cleaning and loading implements, etc. A very wide flat case (wider than about twelve inches) can be inconvenient to access and carry and can be vulnerable to breakage at the hinge line when the lid is open and back against it's stops. The bottom tier may be partitioned to carry cartridges so long as the weight factor is considered. Campaign style flush brass handles may be fitted at each end for ease of transport.

Trade label Frame
