could use a few honest opinions and some criticism

So i have been taking a few of my guns and making boxes and cases . I just want to know , what do you think about the idea ?Can you see as where as i should change anything about them? Any helpful hints any one might have on the subject . Maybe there is someone who works with leather that would like to team up on a project to make something really bad ass .And lats but not least, would anyone be interested in having a custom case or box made for there gun ??

this case is an old guitar case i came across , soft foam covered in fabric , places for guns have soft foam (blue in the bottom) , rope around the inside top lid .

holds and will come with when i decide to let it go ( probably in the next few days ) amt automag 3 (.30 carbine ) and an m1 .30carbine , ammo , books , mags ect ...but thats another add . For now im just asking for opinions and feed back about this case.
brokenScout has one of my cases (tec-9) maybe he will respond to this thread .

thanks y'all [Beer]

looks pretty good, I did the same thing with one of my dewalt sawzall cases for my 3 most used pistols. Custom cases are very cool.

looks nice, the only issue I can see would be the cloth staining and leeching gun oil

had not thought about that , so far it has not been an issue , but if you were not careful and left it drippy wet im sure it would stain . ill think of a solution on that one .

trying to upload pics of a book type box i did for a makarov 380 now

spyder ??? are all 3 in the same caliber ??? or is just because they are the most used , and why a sawsall box ?? dam cool by the way

again im sure this one will be up soon but im just concerned about the case for now thanks

I was hoping the case was guitar shaped like in the movie " El Marriachi ".
But it is still pretty cool. I would be interested in something like that to fit an AR & a couple of 1911s, and extra magazines for both.
That way I wouldn't freak out the neighborhood everytime I load up for a trip to the range

Make your pictures smaller so they are easier to see.

Very neat. I think something small-ish, like a viola case, would be perfect for a collapsing-stock 870 or an SBR AR. A guitar case would be cool as well, but then you're negating the compact size advantage of those weapons.

A guitar case would still be cool for a regular AR though. Would make for a good range case without making the neighbors too scared.

fukers are huge.

Yes, Yes those are some extremely large pictures
and Yes, you should re-size them using free software such as MS Paint.


But after I Connected the computer to the super-Jumbo-tron and and stood back at about 800km Yes, the cases look nice.

The Guys on the ISS agree


[LOL]

I was refering to a case like your super sized pictures if you come up with something, not a " El Marriachi " case. [ROFL1]

Yeah if they are that big you can carry your 50, or an RPG that you bought at the gun show.

I've often wondered what reaction I would get if I asked my neighbors to pick after their f*cking dogs while carrying the AR in a Slung/Ready position.
[LOL]

I've shown the case I have to a couple people, they liked it. There pretty nice and very descreet. And I was the one who wanted a bango/guitar case for my AR.

There are some types of cases I dont use, and some holsters, because the materials in them attract water vapor. We live in Colorado, so humidity isn't a huge issue - but I've seen guns that were stored in a soft type case in other states get rusty in just a weekend from going into and out of cold places/warm places. Silk, for instance, is not as bad a water attractor as cotton. Some foam loves water vapor and some is not. Don't know the technical differences.

But hiding the guns from prying eyes is always a good idea. Only problem is that guitars are just as valuable! If you're trying to discourage thieves, it might not work to have a high quality guitar case in plain view.

I've seen brokenscouts and I love it. I wish you'd teach me how to make them. His is so cool cause the out side isn't nice, I really like the look.

ok so far i need to do some sort of water test and and oil test , and figure out how to make pics smaller .
also just picked up a violin case !!!
if anybody has something they would like me to out fit it with let me know. oh yeah i have a few guitar cases but they are full of guitars , lol , im sure ill find a few soon

I want a custom case for an AR-15, that looks like an AK-47 on the outside.

My tool cases were the only cases I had to do anything with, so, that is what I used. Turned out great though. The 3 are my fav 45's to shoot, well, the colt is my wifes, so it has to go also.

I love the book case, very nice!
