I also spoke with Connecticut Guns and they said they won't sell the ones that come with some of their cases separately. Spoke with Jeff's Outfitters also; was told that they currently do not have a source but hope that in a few weeks they may, though expected that the quality of what they have coming will not match what they used to sell.

Appears I gotta keep looking.....

Edit: Found one that should do. Appears many of the trunk cases in the past came with these and I mostly wanted to complete things with a new case I just got. Anyway, thanks for the ideas and suggestions!

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.

1911, as in Colt .45ACP? No, it rides beside my right leg in my pickup ......... at ready. Have I mentioned it in other threads on this site? IDR.

I've got no problem with nice leather cases. I've got several of my own. But I don't try to preserve them with a canvas cover.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

Keep an eye out on EBay, I have picked up two different covers over the years at good prices.

I have both a cloth cover that the later Parker repro cases came with and also one of the early canvas and leather case covers for the Parker repro cases

What is the length of the case

Is it the same size as the Parker cases?

John,

I just got a call from the company that offered them online where I made a purchase yesterday letting me know that they no longer have the product available as it was getting too expensive to produce in the form that they have previously offered them. They are now, supposedly, redesigning them without the leather corners and such. Anyway, I'm now looking again. My case has the following dimensions: 30.5" x 9" x 3"

spring,

If all else fails you can try ordering a case cover direct from Emmebi. I looked at their webpage & you can order the covers by the model # of the case or by dimensions.

I ordered a case + cover in 2015 from them & they were easy to work with & everything went smoothly. Quality of their top cases is not what you would get with a British best gun but still pretty good. Price of the case cover w/o the padded lining was 190 euro at that time. so it will not be inexpensive.

The only downside to their padded cover is that they use foam for the padding which in my experience (not w/ Emmebi) but other similar stuff will break down w/age. I think the quilted fabric liner with cotton batting padding I had added to my case cover will last much longer.

You also might try getting an Emmebi dealer to order it for you. John Boyd was importing them at one time so he may be able to help you.
