I am thinking of the kind that are a table-top box, with a glass top that props and stays open. I have found a few online but the main ones I find are either cheap aluminum or a laminate wood. I know most guys have nicer stained wood ones. Anyone have a link or a name to look up? I am looking for a nicer version of this:
SJshooter,
This guy is just the one for you: Forrest Bogg at
[email protected] I have 2 of his display cases. The famous prizewinner of displays at national gunshows, Jim Fisher, recommended him to me.
My cases are 3 feet wide and 18 inches high, in beautiful real cherrywood, and nicely finished. He also has walnut, oak, etc. The whole front is glass, framed in cherrywood. Rather than the hinged glass style in your photo, these open to place the guns inside, then close up.
Then you can either lay it flat on the table and look down at the guns through the glass, or you can prop the whole case up to almost vertical, using 2 matching wood props underneath, which tilts the case slightly backward from vertical. In either case, the guns are inside the closed case, and the case can be locked securely at the top via 4 small locks (snap locks) using a supplied key.
Imagine a wooden suitcase that is glass on one side, 3 ft. wide, 1.5 ft. high, and 3 inches thick. Inside, you can have about any color felt, backed by foam. The guns stay in place, even when the case is almost vertical, due to being sandwiched between the glass and the foam. You can adjust the thickness (pressure) of the foam by adding layers of it. It really works great, and no sweaty hands will touch (or steal) the guns. Also, there is a brass carrying handle, just like a suitcase.
For the super quality you get, it is a surprisingly reasonable price. He also has other sizes than mine. All the accessories are included in the price. Mr. Bogg will send you pictures, sizes, and prices. I NEVER saw any other cases as beautiful as his!!!
