How To Make A Pretty Nice lined Gun Case From An Old Army Dufflebag and Blanket!

Step 17 Conclusion.

Ultimately, this project was pretty easy-were it not, I would have abandoned it given my short attention span. What's nice is you get a tough bag with simple hand stitching, and the added bonus of the lining to protect your rifle's finish. I'm pretty sure this will be a "Where'd you get that?" kind of thing when I take it to the range.

Now for the Monday Morning Quarterback segment. I realized part way through that I wished I had matching thread as I have mentioned-as the seams spread apart it does show, and that would make a huge difference in appearance in my opinion-it's not bad, but one of those things I'm always going to notice personally. I'd also probably stitch a D-Ring on each end for a strap for carrying, and maybe a a loop at one end for hanging it up end-for-end.

This could, with extra fabric, be scaled up for a snowboard bag, skis, surfboard, basically anything long needing protection. You could also modify a large dufflebag, laundry bag, etc. using the same principles. You could also add more lining for better protection, as well as additional pockets outside, or dividers inside to separate more than one item. Good luck and I'd love any questions or comments! -Ehmbee
