I fancy a shotgun case...

...but being too skint to afford a Pelican, Americase or SKB, I have decided to make one out of MDF or plywood.

At first I thought I would make one where the gun sits within the foam cut outs but then decided on making a more traditional type of shotgun case.

So let's see what finally materialises.

Vikram,

My dexterity extends to giving orders to my carpenter. :mrgreen:

I am pretty sure I could make one...eventually but I rather just have one made and get it over with. ;)

P.S.: Been meaning to make one for some time now but it was a certain e-mail, you, I and few other punters received last night that has finally made me get off my backside....partially. ;)

Especially when it comes to hitting the 'Ban the blighter' button. Would, sir, care to see a demonstration? :mrgreen:

Yes, that's my do-nali. I certainly did not get it in that condition. It's a Brno Hard Hitter Deluxe - 12 gauge, sidelock, extractor with full and full chokes and 28.25" long barrels. If you can ferret out any information on this model I would be very grateful.
