Custom Carbine Case

lugerholsterrepair · 09-11-2009, 08:39 PM

Here I would like to show a very nice Carbine case that was commissioned by Luger collector George Fortier of California. He was instrumental in some good ideas that were incorporated in the design.

This case has a cleaning rod sleeve, A tool pouch for a loading tool and punch, A carry sling with a double magazine pouch that carries not only the case but works, detached from the case as a rifle sling for the carbine. This last was the good Idea of George.
At first we had planned to attach the double mag pouch to the case but it made much more sence to attach it to the carry sling as that could go with the rifle.

Enjoy!

Once again a masterpiece. You continue to amaze me. Bill

Jerry, nobody would be able to make it better. As all collectors say: You are a master!
Best to you Klaus

I agree. WOW! Outstanding work. Do you have a photo showing the sling attached to the carbine?

Jerry, simply outstanding work.

Now, convince him that he needs an ammo belt to go with it

lugerholsterrepair · 09-12-2009, 01:54 PM

Gentlemen, Thank you all for your kind words...A lot of sweat went into this case!

I do not have any photo's of the sling attached to the pistol & stock. I regret to say I neglected to take this shot before sending the case to George. Perhaps he will take some photo's with his 02 Carbine in this configuration.

Vlim, I am glad George didn't think of this! I cannot emagine what other accessorie one could put on it.

Hmm, a matching trommel magazine carrying pouch in leather, perhaps?

Truely magnificent work Jerry. Adds beauty and value to the Luger Carbine on the whole. Makes me want one (like I can afford it..

)

G.T. · 09-12-2009, 09:52 PM

Another great display of craftmanship! Only can be accomplished with old world master craftsmans skills! Great work Jerry! I am very impressed, you'll have to let your thumbs heal after that one..

... Best to all, til...lat'r...GT

Duane..Don't feel bad, I can't afford one like it either! The Cobbler's children have no shoes...

GT..That is a great compliment coming from another great craftsman. Time is my enemy. I just don't have enough to go round.

Man, that thing is AWESOME! Fantastic work mate

Lugerdoc · 09-13-2009, 01:11 PM

Jerry, I've heard from George, he loves it. Perhaps he will honor us with a photo of everything installed in the closed case, so we'll know what to look for at the range, as he does shoot this one occassionally. I found the photos with the carbine & stock lying on top, hard to see the case. TH

lugerholsterrepair · 09-13-2009, 01:24 PM

Tom, Went. Mauro, Charlie..Many thanks!

Yes, I am hoping George will take some better photo's. I will try to get Ed T. to post the 1st group of photo's I took without the carbine on top.

I wish I had more time to fool around with good photography but I am busy pushing a needle.

I managed to scrape out a little time this Summer to do some interesting projects but now I have to catch up with repairs.

Edward Tinker · 09-13-2009, 04:07 PM

I think these are the correct pictures.

lugerholsterrepair · 09-13-2009, 04:28 PM

Ed, Thanks! The top 3 photo's are another case. The bottom 2 are George's without the Carbine...

I appreciate your help! I am sure George will be along sooner or later with some new photo's and commentary.

I'm not that familiar with the Luger Carbine dimensions. With the Carbine inside the case, what is the protruding "dot" in the center?
