Aluminum Gun Cases - the Ultimate Protection for Your Expensive Firearms

By Shannon Hilson


After making the selection and purchase of a quality gun or rifle, it is essential to maintain your investment by safeguarding the weapon from environmental hazards. Additionally, every gun owner is totally responsible for every weapon they own. When the weapon is not being used, it should be stored securely in a well-built rifle or gun case.

More than just making sure the firearm is out of harm's way, it is important to maintain the weapon by protecting it from the environment. Dry weather, rain, dust and humidity are factors that can cause serious damage to any rifle or gun. Some gun cases are crafted to shield weapons from these hazards.

Cloth and synthetic fiber carrying cases work well to transport your weapons to the firing range, gun club or out hunting; however they are very inefficient at protecting them. Leather gun cases also are inefficient, and can leave unwanted oils and stains on the metal and grip of the gun. Only by safeguarding your rifle or gun in a solid build metal case, can you ensure it is being protected from damage.

Storing your weapons in a thick gauged aluminum case can provide optimal protection for your firearms. Some higher-quality gun cases are crafted with soft interior linings, or padded with high-density interlocking foam, efficiently holding your rifle or gun securely in place. Many aluminum cases are weather resistant with handles and corners made of chrome to guard against scratching, environmental damage or being marred. Some come with rubber or plastic feet on the bottom of the gun case, as a guard against scuffing when placed on any surface.

Unlike cloth or fiber carrying cases, an aluminum case is crafted with at least one key or combination lock. Some larger cases provided an additional combination lock that can be set with a different combination, providing a higher level of security against someone not having permission for access to your firearm. Having a locking mechanism built directly into the case provides security and safeguarding of your weapon at all times.

A top quality gun case crafted out of aluminum has an ability to act as the weapon's permanent storage and carrying device. When wanting to take it to the gun club, shooting range or out hunting, a rifle or gun stored away in aluminum case can easily be moved without having to unlock any gun safe. This adds the extra level of protection by not having the gun exposed to individuals or the environment while transporting it.

Even the smallest gun case has room to store or carry other items such as ammunition and scopes. Some medium and large size cases have room to store additional guns or rifles, alongside each other. Because the interior foam padding interlocks, it gives you the ability to store weapons and accessories close to each other without them coming into contact with each other, once the gun case has been closed.
