poacherjim 0 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 i need a bit of advice from people in the know ! i recently got a shipment of aluminium rifle carrying cases they will take a rifle with the scope attatched. today a guy came to buy one and he said that they were too big as he needed it for a shotgun and when he goes out he breaks it down into 2 pieces puts it in his car and re assembles it when he gets there i have never heard of this, do you think hes talking bollox or the truth because if he is telling the truth i am gonna have to see if i can get hold of some smaller ones many thanks in advance Quote Link to post
john b 38 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 It's not unusual. The plastic case my Browning came in has foam cut outs for the three pieces - stock, barrel and forend. Bit of a faff though - I wouldn't take mine out like that to shoot. Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 True. Look at the old, 'Traditional' gun cases ~ as opposed to slip covers. They were made of wood and covered in a skin of leather. 'Always' made to take a broken down gun - or pair. I guess that was to make them more managable as part of ones normal luggage on a train or what ever? Thus, I'm sure, they'll still produce the modern counterparts, in aluminium or even rigid plastic? But, as JohnB so rightly implies; Who the f*ck wants to go to that sort of bother? Putting ye gun back together again in possibly inclemant weather? Why??? These days most shooters will turn up in a 4x4 land cruiser. Space to stow ye fully assembled shot gun is no longer an issue. Who'd bother messing around like that? Now it'd be safe to case to motor to hand. I'd leave that one odd guy to pursue his broken down gun case where he will, mate. I honestly couldn't see ye shifting enough of them to make it worth ye bothering about Quote Link to post
