I asked Wisemans about a case for my Wiseman gun. John said, “I will speak to Mr. Brady.” The case was always used whenever the gun went in the vehicle. Twenty three years later Wisemans sold the cased gun for me. I had paid £400 secondhand for the gun and the case was £160 (in 1989). We sold the cased gun for £3000 in 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benbobailey Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Nice cases , but I always found it strange they didn't have the stock retainer strap, as found in the majority of British guncases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing I did and still do with every guncase I've kept to use was detach the bloomin' thing and chuck it away. They are the cause of stocks scratched in the hand. On the right side by the usual woodscrew that fixes them to the case and the left by the buckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if there is a baize patch over the screw or with a canvas and leather, stitched through the case and a leather flap protecting the stock from the buckle. That how I made and fitted my straps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 My H&H case, made by London Gun Cases, does not have a stock retaining strap. The stock just fits really snugly, such that it will not fall out if the case is turned upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan123shooting Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Some people prefer a stock strap, end of the day the customer is always right, I go with what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had a stock scratched in this manner, I must be lucky. 5 hours ago, London Best said: My H&H case, made by London Gun Cases, does not have a stock retaining strap.

Unless case was custom made for that gun you have been extremely fortunate re the snug fit. 4 hours ago, alan123shooting said: Some people prefer a stock strap, end of the day the customer is always right, I go with what they want. You are correct of course and I do appreciate and admire many cases with or without!The only case I own that is without a strap is a Churchill vc case, toe under design.

I managed to sell the case for £150 and bit the bullet and ordered a new one. And a canvas outer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
