Is it worth the stuffing around by the time you buy the wood, hinges, locks, screws, glue and foam,not to mention time, these days they are so cheap to purchase.
Seems like false savings to me ?
I bought a double and a single and they are built from alloy and stainless so they can be thrown around and they are very light even with 2 rifles in them, also the foam you get in them you can remove the pre cut squares to shape your exact rifle so their is zero movement.
Only my opinion as i am sure some would get a kick out of building their own.
