alan123shooting Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Just finished revamp of old guardian case for my Sako Quad just need .22 WMR barrel when I have a slot, very happy with results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Thats very nice. Where does the scope go ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan123shooting Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 The case would have to be twice the size as there is scope for each calibre and a NV for the .22 LR all fitted with QD mounts zero once and forget, looking at converting the matching cartridge magazine for the scopes i hope this answers your question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Tidy job but I was also going to ask .... Airline proof ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan123shooting Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 No but it would not be going abroad , the case was not being used , so I thought it would make use of it, also had some nice baize left over from another case, so it’s easier to transport everything around when I have a shooting weekend but if I wanted to take it abroad I would convert an airline proof one.

alan123shooting Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 That’s what I’m thought, beats putting the spare barrels in a shooting sock, and I have saved £150 for the sako case, if you can get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcgunner Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Very neat job. What did you use for the dividers and what type of glue please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcgunner Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) I was asking what type of glue you used because I am recovering this old double leg of mutton case . The frame appears to be made from some sort of hard board that was laminated together and I plan on using rabbit hide glue.

alan123shooting Posted September 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Your case the frame is made from a type of cardboard which is moulded around a pattern.The dividers of my case are a mixture of the wooden dividers that were in the case and other wooden ones I use in other cases, the baize is stuck down with pearl glue, rabbit glue may work but is more for carcass and frame work does not keep as well as pearl glue. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
