Early Mock up of great 34" case!!

[Opening Day]

Matt, I would put the snap caps on either side of the Oil bottle and leave the block behind the stock loose so if someone had a longer stock it wouldn't be a problem, as far as the handles, I would leave that up to the purchaser as to what he wants to do.

I totally agree on the snap caps Eric! I tried it with a small mock up and hated it! I ran into just the problem you stated, no adjustability. The snap caps are going on the other side with the oil bottle. Now I can take stocks big and small!

Thanks!

Ok we now have brass hooks!! Nice heavy and fit and work like a glove!

Matt, I would put a center traditional keyed lock in the middle and leave the hooks.

Hey Eric there is the original brass lock in the center. I had to buy three old keys and file them until I got one to work.

Then you are good to good, leave as is.

Put the snap caps in their own compartment, either side of the oil flask.

That is exactly what I'm going to do Edgar! Both you and Eric said do that. Two masters can't be wrong. Thanks for the advice, I'm feeling better about this fitting now.

I have a 34/30 set with a beavertail that measures 11 5/8" X 2 7/8 if those dimensions would be useful. None of my beavertails on 12 gauge guns are any longer than that. It would be neat if a splinter forearm could be mounted beside the beavertail with an oak and felt divider. Is your compartment big enough for two forends side by side? I have never had a case where you could display two forends off the barrels.

Matt, you are at the point where you put the case up for sale and let the buyer (that has a deposit on the case) decide how he wants the final case to be.
