How Do You Build A Rifle Case?
A rifle case protects your weapons as you transport them, sparing them the jostling and scratching they might suffer otherwise. A soft case can be more convenient, but a hard case provides the best protection. Lay one of the 60 by 18 boards flat on the ground, and use Gorilla glue to attach the two 60 by 6 inch boards standing on their sides running along the 60 inch edges of the board. Glue in the 17 by 6 inch boards along the 18 inch end of the big board. The ends should fit snugly in between the two 60 by 6 inch boards. You now have an open-topped box six inches deep, measuring 60 by 18 inches. Wait for the glue to dry, and then flip the case over. Use the finishing nails to fully and firmly attach the seams you have glued. Secure with nails every four to six inches. Flip the box over again, so that the top is open, and place the last 18 by 60 board on top. Do not seal it with glue, just lay it across the boards, where it should fit flush. Attach the hinges along one 60 inch top edg
