Spent case container

[huntersforge]

Had a bit of a tinker in the garage and made a couple of spent bullet case containers. The case is a .270 with the shoulder cut off and the cap is a piece of seasoned hazel. As you can see I have used one to hold some basic fishing kit. A useful addition to the possibles pouch.

nice work - you know if you pal up the right calibers you can make lids too

.45 for instance fits very neatly on a 30.06

 

[British Red]

.357 mag works beautifully on .223 as well

Neat idea

Hey that's cool.

I have my fathers needle case he put together during WW2

 

[urbansurvivor]

where are you lot getting these cases from to try this? its a great idea, I love things that don't stick to tradition and would love to do one of these. don't own a real gun though so cant see where the cases would come from

 

[British Red]

The .357 cases generally eject from the side when I pull down on the lever, the .223 is more of an up and out direction when I lift the bolt and pull it back

Red, your humour is so dry, I totally love it

 

[British Red]

Couldn't resist

Its more fun than

I suspect people who are using brass do have "real guns"

 

[Macaroon]

I'd really like to get hold of a few of the different calibre cases - just haven't been able to get 'em. Any leads gratefully received, ............................atb mac

 

[British Red]

What calibres do you want mac?

picked a handful up at war and peace show

but if you google inert cartridges there are a few that sell online - mainly to the reenactment crowd

 

[Macaroon]

Hugh, I'd like to get hold of three each of the .357 and the .223 if I could.................

 

[British Red]

Sure no problem - is that all the calibres you need?

 

[Macaroon]

Yeah, those would do me admirably for what I need - do I take it you have these available? That'd be superb!

 

[British Red]

Yep can sort some out for you next weekend (can't get to the post office for a week I'm afraid). I'll have forgotten by this time next week so PM next Friday with an address and I'll post you some - do you prefer brass or steel cased .223? Nickel or brass .357?

 

[Macaroon]

Oh boy, you're a gent and a scholar! Brass for both please, if you have them; I lost my big needle case in the woods some time ago and the replacement I made is utter carp, I'm making and adapting special horse harness at the moment and I'm stitching synthetic strapping on the horse "live" in the woods as prototypes and three small cases made with these will be a lifesaver!

Can I offer anything in trade for these? I will pm you next Friday as requested and will send something to at least cover the postage. Thankyou very much Hugh, all the best, mac

 

[British Red]

Brass it shall be mac, sorry it can't be sooner but I'm tied up

Hugh

 

[Macaroon]

No problem at all with the time, Hugh, I'm just very pleased to be getting them at all - it's good of you to take the time,.......atb mac
