    Question 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

    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 .


    also sorry about the big ass pics , i dont know how that happened .
    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

    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.
