Presentation Box Refinish
Not sure if posting correct place. Please move if wrong. Is there anyone currently redoing the felt on presentation boxes? Plastic insert is fine, felt is gone. Also lining in top is missing

There are kits for re flocking. It's not hard.

Flocking?

Two of these use styrofoam for the preformed liners. The adhesive for the flocking will melt the styrofoam. Originally S&W used flocking on two of these liners and the other two had a material covering the liners, not flocking! Two of these different type liners used foam rubber for a top liner and the flocking will leave a "crust" on top of the foam rubber which cracks after the case is used to store a gun! Do a little research and testing before you flock a set of liners! There are NO replacements for these liners! ! !

If you plan to keep the gun for years, let someone knowledgeable do the flocking. The wrong adhesive used can cause corrosion on the gun, and lead to bad surprises later on.

Joe does great work, I can vouch for that personally, plus he’s great to work with on what you want.

Joe, gave a talk about the different types of presentation cases at the symposium in Ohio a few years ago. I learned a lot from that talk, I even took notes cause I can’t remember much. Too much fun when I was young! Anyway joe has done several cases for me and his work is better than the original manufacture. With the current cost for these cases, I leave all my restoration work to him. His prices are very reasonable.

I have several presentation boxes and all need to be redone. Joe Cebul is backed up until November. Does anyone know someone else who can rebuild these? Thank you.

Also, looking for cleaning kits. Does anyone know where to purchase these? S&W does not have them available. Aftermarket perhaps?

Bigsully58,
November will be here in a blink and you will appreciate your cases for many years. If it were me I would get on Joe Cebull’s schedule.
As for tools, you might want to post here on the Forum in the “Wanted to Buy” section as well as looking at Gun Shows and EBay.
Good luck to you.
