I've seen one of these before on a leather case...As you know, they're designed to protect the leather on a case from the bumps and grinds that come when traveling.
I have a gun case that's in great shape and would like to keep it that way, even though I would likely use a hard plastic case that I have in most travel situations.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. I would think there might be a good source for others that I could consider.
Thanks!

As easily as the leather trunk cases can get scratched up, I just suspect that they're still being offered from various sources.

Here's another one on a case sold by Connecticut Shotgun. Doesn't indicate if they'd sell one separately.

Get a case cover that has a soft lining on the inside. I found out the hard way that w / the single ply canvas like fabric case covers the leather case underneath will still pick up significant marks.

My wife ended up making a liner for my single ply cover out of green padded quilted cotton material & stitched it in place. It looks professional & saves the leather case.

I had the option of ordering the case cover w/a liner originally when I ordered the the case from Emmebi but opted for the single ply thinking it would be enough protection. It isn't!

Spend a significant amount of money for a nice leather covered case to protect your gun, then spend more money for a case to protect the case. What's next, a cover to protect the canvas cover that is protecting the leather case, that is protecting the gun?

My, how far we have come from our fathers' and grandfathers' opinions of doubleguns.

JMO. Not picking on anyone in particular.

Stan,

Do you carry that 1911 you've mentioned in other threads around in a burlap feedsack?


Some double guns deserve a nice leather case although I'll be the first to admit that they are not the most practical thing. For serious travel where things get knocked around I like an Amaricase. Heavy suckers though.

Appears that some trunk cases come with them when purchased and are standard accompaniments. Rough baggage handlers, or even more dangerous spots such as the backseat of my truck, can do a number on some leather cases or luggage. I’ll never forget how a basic leather suitcase looked after it went through Delta’s rigors before pickup at their baggage claim.
The gun case I'd like to protect has my grandson’s initials on it (mine, too grin). He’s just 2, but it would be nice if it was still in good shape when he ends up with it.

To disguise what my case holds I use a oversized baseball equipment soft case. To really sell the misdirection I even have a old bat in one of the side pockets sticking out. Countless people have seen my case and just decided I was going to a indoor batting cage nearby or just one more old guy trying to play softball and drink beer.

Huey Gun Cases has a women who will make a custom canvas cover to fit the exact dimensions of a gun case. She does good work and is reasonable, if she is still in business.

No…he probably carries it in a leather holster without a canvas or burlap sack surrounding the leather holster for protection against some character marks…that would be…kinda dumb.
I’m with Stan on this one….the leather case should get some character marks etc during its lifetime.
