I'm surprised all you guys are looking for cases.

Plenty of cases come up for Auction every year in the UK
and I see cases for sale in the US on web sites (or have in the past).

I think I have something like 15 - 20 empty cases here
I have bought over the last 5 - 10 years specifically to
reline for double Rifles.


I think maybe you guys should look around a bit more
and you'll find empty cases for sale / auction.

I hear that. I must have a dozen or more nice Oak and leather case I have picked up with the intention of relining and refitting them for a rifle or shotgun someday. I never seem to get around to it though.

In London last year I was in an Antique store and they had 4 very nice Purdey and Holland cases that had been turned into end tables, complete with legs and all. They made pretty neat tables and you could move the lamps and open the lid for storage of odds and ends but what a waste of a nice case. The price was pretty high though so maybe what the Green movement and recycling is coming to.
