WANTED Hard plastic rifle case

[French Colonial]

As the heading says, I would really like a hard plastic rifle case, about 60 inches or so long like the Plano and Flambeau cases I have but longer.

I have a 72" hard case from Crazy Crow but it is to heavy for day trips and I have canvas sock type cases but would like a little more protection and have searched the internet but have come up empty.

Any one know of a source for a Plano or Flambeau type case that would fit a longrifle?

Look into uniquecases.com. they sell padded soft cases for musket length rifle with a sleeve for range rod. I have several.

For short runs in your own vehicle you might slip the rifle in a soft case and slip that into a length of PVC pipe. I'd want to bungee the pipe to something.

I would prefer a hard plastic case but I will give one of these a try, one more gun case at the hacienda is not gonna hurt.

What would the diameter of a piece of PVC pipe need to be to get a Kibler Woodsrunner in it accounting for the drop at the butt and the height of the cock, probably 8 inch?

When we went to Louisbourg, stove pipe was recommended. The heavier type works best. Tape the joints with duct tape and get stove pipe end caps. The soft case inside is a good idea.

PVC pipe, particularly the thin wall, can be flattened, curved, and generally molded with heat/pressure. I have seen many pieces run over and flattened on construction sites. Perhaps as small as 4” could be manipulated into a suitable hard sleeve. I will look at sourcing a suitable piece and try it.
