Couple of questions. I am trying to find someone to do a case for a nice Fox I have. I cant go the Huey route, too many $$$$$. But I would like something like what FEI Cases offers. I would buy from them but have had no luck communicating, trying to finalize an order with them.
so,
1. I cant remember who the person was in New Hampshire who use to make custom trunk cases out of hardwood. anyone have contact info.
2. Is there someone out there who will take an existing case and do alterations for my specific gun?
3. what other alternatives are there?

Wild Skies,
Thanks. that's who it is!
Daryl,
I called them several months ago and they no longer do it.
Not a custom, but a pretty nice case for the money:

I need one also, but my gun is small bore with 32" barrels. Jeff doesn't have that critter.
Kevin Maccormack does this type of work. I'll see if i have his number when I get home but he is a regular poster on the Parker site. He had a table at Hausmann's.
I thought Jeff could do one for 32" barrels. It is worth checking with him.
Try George Pittello, Rock Hill, South Carolina. (803) 984-2090

Quality case repair, kevin McCormack, 703-620-1090. Also Rip Watson, in Va., 352-895-1951. Mike messina passed away earlier this year but give Gary Downy from Osprey Arms a call, 516-674-8050. He acquired all of Mike's shop and is also now engaged in case repair, restoration etc. good luck.
I would continue to try to contact FEI. Their website was active last time I looked.
Kelly made an outrageous case for my 33" eight gauge Greener Royal. It was originally fitted by her for a 36" Alexander McComas, but the Greener looked so good in it and the McComas went uncased. The upcharge for the longer and fatter case was very reasonable.
The best is Kevin McCormack 703 620 1090. Tell him a Lancaster Co. boy sent you.
Kevin McCormack can do a good job refitting an existing case, but Brian needs a case built from scratch. Kevin has worked on a couple dozen of my cases, by the way.

Just sent him another email. We will see what he comes up with.
FEI/Kelley got back to me. onward we go!!!
Thanks for all of the input.
Congratulations. Good luck on your new case. I emailed Kelly and hope to hear from her "soon". I want a new case too.

Confirmed, nothing for small bore 32" only for 12 gauge
