Eugene..Thanks very much for your inquiry about Carbine cases. I have sent you a few photo’s. I can see a few problems with these right off..One is they are quite expensive. I have only made a half dozen over the years..I make them by hand. I have no machine to make them with. My price to a collector who is wanting one for a $15,000-20,000 carbine has been $600. Reasonable in this case…
For a wholesaler $600 would be less than ideal of course but a faster way to stitch them would have to be employed. Currently my repair business makes it difficult to produce any new leather goods unless I am not busy and that is almost never the case. I am a one man shop. I make commitments to my clients to repair… and that is my first priority. The other little problem that pops up is the extra long barrel on Carbines you produce. I have always made cases for the standard 12 inch barrel and a 16 inch barrel might make the case totally out of proportion to the stock. I have never made a case with the 16 inch barrel so I don’t know how it would look…

I could do it but it will be a bit spendy. I think a previous posters $800.00 number is about right give or take a few bucks. If it were to be several then obviously the price could get down a little bit. Set up templates and all would cut down on labor for future boxes. Email me if you have interest. fcpreston-at-nc dot rr dot com.

![]() And the price is reasonable in any case ... By the way , is there a liner of some sort ? Or it's just pure hide ? I can not tell from the pictures .... Thanks for sending the pictures.
