Rifle case pattern?

Question

Hi all, My son came home from CAP with a dummy rifle and had volunteered me to make cases for all the Color Guard. Are there any patterns for drill-team rifle bags? I guess if there isn't...I can trace it and go from there. Joy

My son (adult) has an easy rifle case that simply folds over at the wide end.   He's been wanting me to make him one similar out of a blanket.  The part that folds over about 12 inches has a tie sewed to it so he can tie it around the rifle so it won't fall off.  HTHBarbara in SC

Forgot to say, the completed case would be about 12 " wide X however long it needs to be.Barbara in SC

I made those kind of cases a loooooooong time ago for our rifles.  I used a nylon outer (it was a little heavier than the sport nylon that I found a few months ago.)  and I used a flannel for the inside as it is soft material and won't scratch the rifle and helps keep the moisture out and I put cording on both sides of the top so when you turned the top part down you could wrap the cording around the butt of the rifle and tie it.  All I did was put the rifle on the nylon and drew around it leaving me room for the seams and to get it in and out easily. Than I put the flannel over that and cut it out and zig zaged it together.  Put together wrong side out and stitched it and turned it and top stitched it and put on the cording and of course I put a hem in the top first (before I put it together).  Done.  Easy.  If you need more help just e me.Carolyn

I had forgotten about them as it was so long ago.  We lived up north then. My youngest bought 2 bb rifles for his boys and he said mom can you make the gun cases like you did for the rifles that we have?  I said just bring one to me and I will.  The only thing that is different I used sport nylon this time and the flannel isn't as heavy.  I don't know what nylon I used before but it is heavier and nicer.
