Anyone ever made there own Gun Case?

CDN__Player · May 3rd, 2009, 16:43

I didnt know where to put this so I threw it in accessories.

Im sick of bringing my whole box to my games! The box is 2x bigger than it needs to be and its just a pain in the arse.

I seem to be pretty handy at my age with carpentry etc, for science I just made a working hovercraft

So anyone have any tips on materials? As in the overall frame, then also the material which houses the gun, ammo, accessories etc.

Or even if you have made one post your opinion and a picture if youd like.

thanks....

While I'm sure it's not too hard to make one, wouldn't it be easier to buy a hard shell gun case for $30 or modify an existing guitar case to house your guns?

I already looked into the guitar case. That is what im looking for too, objects I could modify into a usable gun case.

I really would rather build it, yeh I actually am a cheap-oo. I hardly spend my money and I hope its a good thing.

Comforts in life are worth spending money on. Gun cases are not something you want to cheap on too much, or else when you're traveling the guns could fall out in public. :\

Not something i'm to worried about.

My gun hasn't really been near the "Public" and probably never will.

Just go to Ctire.. Single hard plastic cases are 15 bucks, doubles are 30.

How could I forget good ol' canadian tire!

I shall browse the websight..

Case from CTIRE

This isnt bad, but is it too short to hold an M4 comfortably?

dpvu · May 3rd, 2009, 17:12

It's not too short. You may have to take the carry handle/optics off of it but in terms of length, it's fine.

Ill stop by there asap and in the mean time put any more of your opinions down!

thanks for the help

53-5/8 x 12-1/8 x 3-3/4" (136 x 31 x 9.5 cm)

Break out a tape measure and eye the gun, double check before you buy. Also, the double gun case is only $50.

I have both the single and double FLambeau cases from Cdn Tire. I can easily fit any of my guns (except the SAW) into that single case, or it can comfortably fit 2 SMGs. The double easily fits 2 full rifles.

L473ncy · May 3rd, 2009, 17:47

I've got the exact same case. It appears to be the same case but I don't know, it's probably a different manufacturer, I got mine at Walmart BTW.

It should fit an M4 with crane stock retracted.

My gun with optics on it (simple RDS) fits perfectly inside widthwise, lengthwise I've got room for 5 or so mags. Heightwise.... well it fits my M4 with the PEQ box mounted on the top.

CDN__Player · May 3rd, 2009, 17:50

I have a fixed full stock on my M4, and RDS mounted. So I am fine with this case?

It fits my CA M15 rifle with full stock and Elcan scope mounted, so I would assume that an M4 wouldn't be a problem, stock retracted or not...

In order to fit 2 rifles in the double case though, I need to remove the optics.

I also bought the flambeau case yesterday, seems to work quite nicely with my M4. I was able to fit 8 magazines, my gun (with scope) my P226 and 2 magazines for that as well, and it held the contents solidly when shut. A steal at $30.

However, modifying a guitar case would be pretty badass, especially if you showed up to games dressed as Antonio Banderas in "desperado"
