Source for large hard case?

[Ian Straus]

This week I acquired a matchlock musket. This is larger than any other firearm I have handled.
I think that in order to protect the serpentine

I want a hard case for it. This will be a lot bigger than I will find at Wal-Mart or Academy.
Do you know of a source for very large hard cases?
The weapon is 60.5 inches long, and as I measure it I need a case 10 inches wide to clear the serpentine. And 4 inches thick to clear the pan cover. (Internal dimensions.)

I've found a couple SKB cases but they're as much if not more than your matchlock costs..........
Plus contact Unique, I think they will also make custom cases for customers, they advertise on this forum.

And my case from Unique came promptly, too! Special made, wide enough for my match,ock, and the price was great for a special-made item. Soft sided, well padded with foam, with a side pocket. (I never did find an affordable hard sided case this big.)

how about this

Kentucky Rifle Hard Case - 72" long | Gun Cases | Crazy Crow Trading Post

I have one and it works great for the long guns from Jim Chambers

That would be great but $359 is half the price of the gun. So I didn't classify it as affordable.
