The first project was scrapped, bending wood is not an easy chore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gijive Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Wow, that's very nice! You should be proud of that. You made that by hand? Good job. Is that a copy of some type of early case that you have seen before, or is it your own design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamm Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 That is really, really sweet! Man, nice job. The hardware looks great. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Crow Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Thanks for the comments! I made it from some scrap red oak and cherry I had laying around. I quess I should have called it a Penn/Indiana case. Styled after the Indiana, with a few mods that I wanted to included. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIONHART Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Nice Case, but damn, bet it gets heavy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Crow Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 QUOTE (LIONHART @ Jan 9 2006, 10:19 PM) Nice Case, but damn, bet it gets heavy! LOL, yeah, it is a tad on the heavy side. I certainly would not want to walk very far toting it, especially with the drums loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpanda4 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Very, very nice. Well thought out... but where will that C drum fit? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Excellent work!

full auto 45 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Very nice. Now when are you going to start producing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supershooter Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 My thoughts exactly, Mike! Is anyone making a reproduction of the Indiana case? It would appear to be the best in actual use compared to the Police and FBI cases that want to fall over backward when the gun is removed. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Greg Fox does make the Indiana case. I believe it is the same price as the FBI/Police case. Very nice case. Looked at it several times at the Creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotDeaf Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Jack, Beautiful case, very nice …. Sent you an e-mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Jack-- That's a great build!! I'd think that it would be less bulky than the FBI style, and certainly holds a lot of good stuff, without over-crowding. In your photo, the covering looks grey. Is that really black? Now you can flip open the latches and impress the babes. It kind of looks like a secret agent attache'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Crow Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Thanks for the remarks! giantpanda4, Dang, I knew there was something I forgot! Now I have to build an even larger case to allow for the C drum. I think the next one may need small wheels. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Mike, I don't think I'll be making any more soon. It was a heck of a project for the first case I've ever built. I went out and bought a table saw especially for the project. I think Greg asks around $800 for an Indiana style case, but don't quote me. After making one he is entitled to every penny of it as well. PhilOhio, I used nuts on the underside of the handle, the wood should give before the fixtures. I looked for a nice leather wrapped handle giving a more period appearance to it, but haven't found any in black at least. Sgt., The color seems to be a very dark gray. The outside dimensions are; 27.75" x 15.75" x 4.25". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
