As I received it, the case was in pretty poor shape. The straps were broken, the back hinge was torn, the felt was ripped up, and one of the interior compartment lids was missing. To make matters worse, the case had been shot through and through. There was a bullet hole from something like a .303 through the lid and a 2" diameter exit hole through the case bottom. If the gun had been in the case when it was shot then it was lucky to have just barely been missed.

I sent the case and gun to Michael Messina Custom Gun Cases in East Meadow, NY. He patched up the holes expertly. He rebuilt the inside and even found a knob for the new compartment lid to match the original knob on the other side. He replaced the straps and fixed the hinge. He also supplied the maker's label.

I've sent Mike a total of four cases and I have always been pleased with the results.
