firearm Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Anyone ever seen a hard case like this? Holds 6 "L" drums. Eagle latches, metal corners, leather carry handle. I bought it from a guy years ago that said it came out of an armored bank car. I have never seen another. Maybe one of a kind hand built?

mgvince Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 That is fantastic looking! Must be a one of a kind. Greg Fox we need you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Nice case. Is it for sale?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firearm Posted March 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Sorry. I don't care to sell it right now. I just thought you guys might like to see it. I was most curious to know if anyone has ever seen another. It weighs 22.5 pounds with 6 empty "L" drums in it. Wonder what it would weigh with all 6 drums loaded up. Just think of the firepower one would have at the ready back in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimcrew Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Now that is very cool. Can you imagine the firepower if EACH man in the armored car had his own case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think of the firepower one would have at the ready back in those days. When I shoot my TSMG I only use drums. I have 6 that I bring to the range and have been kicking around ideas for storage and transport. As a result your post I now have a new project. Thank you for sharing. BTW, 300 rnds of Win 230gn ball weighs about 14.5 lbs. That would put your fully loaded weight at 37 pounds. Bob D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dudley Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Very nice! I love old cases and pick them up when I can. Here's one I just got off ebay. Could you post the dimentions of your drum case. I'll be on the hunt for something similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimFromFL Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Makes sense.Back then I would have to have a case full of drums if having to drive an armored car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
