AlanDavid Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Here are some screen shots showing guns being packed which have been collected by the American Committee for Defense of British Homes. The location is NYC. One of the cases has a Winchester S/L rifle. Could be a .357 or .401. There appears to be a small size of case and a longer one. The Committee did have contracts high places. Are these FBI cases? Regards AlanAmerican Committee 4.BMPAmerican Committee 2.BMPAmerican Committee 5.BMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 They are cases. No way of knowing whether they were cases contracted by the FBI specifically or just cases made for the guns the way any other case was made in the time period. The few that i've seen have been full length, not take down. None of what I've seen could be tied to any actual FBI purchase records, but do follow a style associated with what they did purchase for their guns. Cases were also built for private folks and police departments by many different case and trunk companies.Cool photos!!!!I'm still hunting for a case for my gun.

19Steve67 Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Afternoon: I am still looking / hunting for a case for my Winchester SL 1907 .351 cal, also! I will even consider buying one that is new if someone knows of a maker for these cases? Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1921A Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Does anyone have pictures they could share for the Winchester Model 1907 case used by the FBI? 1921A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 This is one case that is really cool. There was another with just a 1907 that I bid on a year or two ago, but I can't recall where, and it ended over 7K IIRC. I'll try and find it this week? Are you pondering a run of them? https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/83/3/two-cased-police-department-attributed-winchester-longarms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enough original hardware for a small run. Greg Fox 1921A Edited August 21, 2023 by 1921A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Greg, I am still interested in a 1907 case. If you need one of my rifles, let me know and you can stop by and get one if you're in the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I would be interested in a case. I don't recall seeing Ron Brock's case, but that would be interesting to see as well.
