Necessity is truly the mother of invention.
I don't want a takedown case. I've seen a couple of guns go south while being assembled in a parking lot, it wasn't pretty.
Not really interested in buttons, snaps or zippers.
I made a prototype from terrycloth and duct tape.

So you're going to put one of your Winchesters in that goofy thing?

Going Rogue? No.

Off the deep end, definitely.

What necessity? What are you needing, or trying to do, that can't be done with a conventional leather gun slip?

Put some very long sleeves and longer tie straps on it and it would make a great straitjacket for Ed Good or Jagermeister.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Inner layer will be made of shearling and half attached to the outer leather hide allowing the lateral wings on the inner layer
to fold in before the lambskin folds over onto itself to completely envelope the gun.

Outer layer lateral wings fold in and then outer hide tri-folds over inner shearling and gun.
Easy peezy.

I feel like I kinda underhanded/slow pitched you one with the image of the horses ass
on my template so go ahead, take a swing.



I've an appointment with an artist this afternoon.
A few years ago he made me this leather chair.



I suppose I could have just acquired a cheap metal folding chair instead of
spending money on a custom, hand made, beautiful and comfortable piece of furniture.

You know Stan, no one ever said "Necessity is the mother of CONVENTION".

Go for it, Bob. I've been thinking of having a local Amish harnessmaker make a leather case modeled after the old canvas breakdown cases. I have several to use for models and I think a leather version would be handy alternative and plenty of protection for most uses.

Hammergun, the canvas takedown cases have been reproduced in leather by a Maryland double gun collector and were fine examples and included a reproduction of the Powers cleaning rod included. I don't think I have one in my collection, but my friend may have some left. PM me and I will give you his contact information. They were advertised in the Double Gun Journal as the "Fleetwood Case".
