After trying dozens of slip cases over the years I decided to have a custom slip case made to provide me with I wanted. I wanted a case that would last 2 lifetimes, hold securely any shotgun I wish to put in it. Something that would not hold moisture, protect the gun, handles and straps that would hold up, be attractive and capture the old technics of of the old saddle makers.
The case is made out of real thinned cow hide on the outside and lined with a tough but soft chap leather stitched in the inside. 1/2" leather plug at the barrel end, and double solid brass made in America old stock buckles with straps made thick belt leather. Handles are heavy nylon rope covered in cowhide. Length 54" opening 9" across. Finally a simple Mearns quail tooled on the flap.
The opening allows access for your forearm to reach in and pull out shorter, and smaller Guns. Works great. Just wanted to share the end result.
