Gun cases for the gun enthusiasts
If you are new to collecting firearms, I have some advice for you. Keep your guns, ammunition, magazines and accessories organized. This may even mean that you have to spend money on gun safes or gun racks, but considering how much damage can occur to your firearms and especially rifle scopes, good organization means preservation. I have on many occasions seen guy show up with rifles and bring the wrong gun magazines or the wrong sight in tools and from my experience, all of that should be in a range or gun bag at all times. It’s better to keep everything in one place and bring it all with you then having to worry about if you have your AK sight in tool, M1 Garand sight in tool or your AR front sight adjustment.
If you have several long guns, consider buying the same type of gun cases and write on them which gun case if for which rifle. It can be a real headache if you are constantly trying to remember which gun is in which case and if the assault rifle case is for a Mini 14 or an AK. If you own both guns, get 2 gun cases. Allen gun cases are very inexpensive and for the most part, once you know the length of your firearm you should know if it will fit in the case. High mounted optics or flashlights can make it problematic on knowing if a gun case will work. The Endura pistol rug is easy to file away and can also be easily written on or marked.
We’ve all seen skyrocketing ammo prices and a run on various styles of weapons. There was a run on guns and ammo as the economy started to tank and also a shift in the Political climate. Back in 2006 there was a hint that the now Democratic controlled Congress might get cocky and try putting another 1994 assault weapons ban in place and gun owners became concerned, then there was the Obama administration win in 2008. For those old enough to remember the political climate in the 1990s, we’ve seen this shift before.
