How much work does your case need? Kade Gile works with Huey gun cases and can do just about anything on the case. He's not inexpensive. Gade.

I do my own. It's really quite simple.

I have relined several well used English cases. It is really not that hard. Buy a top quality wool blend pool table cloth and Barge contact cement. Lowes used to have 1/4" thick oak in 1-4" widths that made great replacement dividers. You can use these to custom fit your case to your gun without using block spacers. Lots of satisfaction in doing the job yourself.

I used to build cases and occasionally rebuild them. Good billiard cloth and plain Elmers glue work fine. Use map pins to hold the cloth in place while the glue sets. I always used Red cedar for the internal blocks. Adds a nice smell too.

I just bought a custom-sized Kalispel double gun take-down case made of 0.08" thick aluminum with welded seams.

My goal is to fit out the interior like an old-fashioned oak and leather case, but with the benefit of modern high density foam padding underneath.

Has anyone else done that?

I just had a vintage case redone, I could have bought a decent pool table for what I paid! And it had some flaws, next one I’ll attempt myself!
