While cleaning the attic a few months ago, I came upon an old Italian shotgun cleaning kit. Most of the contents were missing, but the wooden box got me to thinking. So, I refinished the wood, installed some dividers, and glued in some felt. Came out pretty nicely, IMHO. What do you guys think?

Great way to waste some down time! Those snakes are ready to shoot each other in the foot.

I like it. a nice case for a python and it's little brother diamondback. I think that was a really good idea.

Hey, you are pretty handy! That is excellent work. I think all aspects of accessories and gunsmith work are covered right on this forum by various people.

You could sell me the snubby and give that 4" a little more leg room.

Anybody notice how I "Bullitt-ized" the D'Back with a pair of DS grips? I find them MUCH more comfortable when shooting just about any .38 spl loads...the sharp edge at the bottom of the standard grips dig into my hand on recoil, and the rounded edge of the DS grips eliminates that. Plus, with the value of the standard grips exceeding the original MSRP of the revolver, this keeps the checkering nice and sharp!

Excellent result and you brought something back to life that was unused. The outcome has a really nice classic look.

Don't you mean "Shoot each other in the butt"?...
Good work. Very nice looking case.

I think the Target Diamondback grips are the most ill conceived shape ever. Yet they are expensive because they are original. You made a great improvement and there's just room there for a T-Grip, too.

I really like that!
