Parker takedown case project

[Dean Romig]

They're not as heavy as you might think. The one I showed probably weighs about 2 1/2 - 3 lbs. without the gun and accessories.

I made this one a year ago, and have another one in the works. I made the box years ago, but never got a round to finishing it.
I also pick up old ones, to refit, when I find them. The bottom one shown here is a Winchester case. The hardest part is finding correct period hardware. Leather handles, and the fittings for them are available. Kennedy lock makes great cabinet locks, but fussy to inlet. I use Billiard Table felt, not the fuzzy stuff.

Edgar;
Is that your computer in the last photo with the stack of cases?

No Dipstick, That's my defibrillator. I clip one lead on my finger, and the other on my, uh. Well lets just say that alligator clip is all it takes to get me going again.

I'd bet that the clip is a little too big for the job at hand. BTW- It's Mr. Dipstick to you.

Sir, Yes Sir!!

Lemme tell you Daryl, After the prostate surgery, any clip is too big. That's what the magnifying goggles are for.

Glad to see you've maintained that sharp, rapier wit of yours. That's always a good thing.
