Cases do seem to be a problem with CSMC.
Twice they have kept my hard case I used for protection when shipping my Model 21 to them for repairs. Once sent the gun back to me in card board and once kept my $500 Americase and sent the gun back in one of their canvas/leather low end cases. Took weeks and numerous phone calls to get my cases returned and had me send their case back at my expense before returning my Americase.
When I returned my Model 21 (for the 13th time) back in November here is the email I received from them:

Good Morning Mr. Wolf,
Please feel free to send the guns at your convenience. We will turn the repair around quickly. Also be advised not to ship any gun case that value because we have many gun cases and guns that come and go daily. If you have further questions please let me know.
Thank you,
Lou"
I do appreciate them letting me know that they have a problem with cases. But I also like the protection afforded by hard cases when shipping expensive firearms. It seems reasonable that the manufacturer of very expensive firearms should be able to keep track of and take care of a customer's gun case. Obviously not so much!

I'll be at the Southern and hope I get to see it.
As far as cases, I like the motor case CSMC sells. I think a classy shotgun looks great in a motor case.

It's my understanding that Jeff's Outfitters makes their cases here in the USA. I don't know about Jeff's current case line, but I bought a bunch of them maybe ten years ago and they were all made in Mexico. This was both canvas/leather and all leather. Great cases for the money.

I spoke with Jeff yesterday. His cases are still made in Mexico. From what I've heard, they are very good cases for the money. Being made in Mexico is not a bad thing in my mind. Those ole boys make some of the finest cowboy boots money can buy! I will be buying a case from Jeff within a week or two. He has the proper canvas case in stock, but the leather case is about a week out he said. I haven't made up my mind between the two, but I'm leaning towards the leather case. Thanks for the help guys.
