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

Step 5 Check Rifle Dimensions

You can do this step roughly or precisely-lay your rifle down and get an idea of how much you are going to need for either end (unless your rifle is of the assault variety and does not need any additional fabric on the ends) Be sure to add ample room for your scope (height) and plenty of length. Hint: add more than you think you are going to need-the blanket will add thickness and make the inner dimensions a bit smaller than the measurements you are making right now. You are also going to want to leave four to six inches of extra if you are going to want to fold your end over to fasten it. More on that later.
