Custom Made Leather Rifle Cases: Rifle cases are used to cover and protect a rifle. They are loose fitting and can be made of Elk, Buffalo, Deer or Deer Tanned Cowhide, with the following options: fringe, red felt lining, stitched or laced main seam, decorated with colored beads, metal cones, brass or nickel spots, open at the throat or closed with one or two flaps to protect the butt of the stock. Requests for custom made rifle cases are welcome.

Construction of my rifle cases includes the following:

The main seam is closed with cement and two (2) rows of stitching. Stitching is on the inside of the case and each row is back stitched at the throat and muzzle to protect against stitch unraveling.

A hide patch is cemented and then stitched inside the case extending over the length of the receiver and barrel from the hammer to the front sight. The patch provides reinforcement and wear durability over the hammer and front sight and also provides for smooth entry and removal of the rifle.

Hand cut hide fringe is installed along the main seam from the muzzle to the end of the stock, except for 6-7 inches around the center of balance of the rifle, to provide for hand carry.

Cases can be made with one or two flaps for throat closure and protection of the rifle butt.

A flap tie thong is installed, made from the hide used for the case.

A circular tie thong plate, made of vegetable tanned leather, with a hand stamped design is cemented and stitched on the flap where the tie thong is laced through. The leather plate provides for reinforcement and durability.

A rivet with a burr is installed inside the case at the main seam throat opening to provide reinforcement and durability at this point.

A muzzle loop is installed to enable hanging the case when stored.

The muzzle loop is installed using two (2) rivets with burrs on the inside of the case, in addition to cement, double stitching and back stitching, providing reinforcement and durability at this point.

The following are pictures of some of the rifle cases I have made and sold. Prices vary depending on materials and options.
