Super-size, custom, aluminum rifle case - SOLD AND SHIPPED
Custom, heavy industrial construction, aluminum rifle case by Americase - https://www.americase.com/
Dimensions:
Exterior – 77 x 20.5 x 9 (plus 1" on length and width for wheel protrusion) – will fit, barely, into the "regular" length beds of many full size pickups (check yours to be sure)
Interior – 73.25 x 17.75 x 2 (innermost opening – with the 2" thick center foam removed, all other foam pieces are glued in place)
Weight – approximately 67# (bathroom scale)
Construction features:
> .080 thick aircraft aluminum sheet
> (3) recessed spring-back handles – see example here (https://www.americase.com/images/pages/instruments/conga_drums_case_open.jpg)
> (4) heavy latches with hasps – see example link just above. Please note that both the handles and latches are stand-alone units, riveted into recesses, not the much cheaper-to-provide small pieces riveted into stamped recesses as shown in their gun case section of their website
> (8) heavy, metal, industrial corner caps
> (2) 33" long sections of piano hinge, riveted in place
> (2) large bumpers at the wheel end to allow the case to stand upright
> (2) heavy straps to support the top when open
> 1" of heavy, closed-cell, polyethylene foam inside the entire aluminum structure (top, bottom, and ends)
> 2" of soft, light charcoal foam in each of the top and bottom sections
> 2" of heavy, closed-cell, polyethylene foam in the center – removable, what would be cut to the shape of your firearm(s)
> Heavy, lipped, rubber seal at the interface between the top and bottom sections
> ¼" thick rubber top sheet/protective cover, added by seller (needs to be professionally glued in place – if it is to be retained – currently held in place by the provided but inadequate adhesive backing, reinforced by packing tape)
Condition – basically new with the addition of the rubber sheet protector; no dents or scratches. Never used, never even configured to a specific rifle or rifles.
Why I/m selling – excess to my current needs (all my current and in-process builds either have folding or removable buttstocks or the barreled action stores side-by-side with the chassis/stock).
$545 plus, if applicable, shipping (from 90277 – Redondo Beach, CA). Payment by check or MO, pickup/shipment after payment clears my bank.
