re-purposed transit case

[smle addict]

A few months ago, I was working at one of the Air Force bases here in California. When I was dropping off some items near a workshop, I saw they had a pile of wooden cases mixed in with a large collection of wooden pallets. I believe these were transit cases for single propeller blades. I asked one of the workers if I could have one, and once he ensured it was empty, I was allowed to take one home.

Two weeks ago, I sanded, modified and padded the inside of this crate to accomodate three rifles. I finished it off with a generic army green color and fixed four casters to the bottom to make it easier to roll it around. It fits three rifles, 200 rounds of ammuntion, my spotting scope, and my shooting rests. It is heavy, but it loads and unloads quite easily from the back of my truck.

I got tired of looking like a jackass when I went to the range, dragging three or four loose soft gun cases, ammo cans and accessiories, back and forth from the parking lot. I did get one or two funny looks at the range when I rolled this thing to the firing line. But it's all in one package, so it makes it nice.
