little off topic for sure

Can any of you direct me to a company that sells the insides of a Smith&Wesson walnut presentation case. It's a blue molded insert that the revolver sets in within the box, and has a soft felt like texture that's easy on the gun while being so stored. I had hoped mine wasn't the only worn out one on the planet, and could buy a replacement. Bruce

I've done my own, Bruce - Why not try it ? What have you got to lose ?

Get a Royal Blue spray Velvet flocking kit, mask off the wood or remove the insert from the wood case, and refinish your insert.

Depending upon how badly worn it is, the old coating may or may not need to be removed first.

Thanks Pete, I never saw a kit available like this before, what do I know?, I'm a fuel hauler? I'll give it a shot. Need to repair a postage stamp size hole where the cylinder cradles. I'll glue in some similar plastic and fix, then spray this stuff on.

I would flock the entire insert, rather than try a spot repair - in case the can color's not quite a "match".

BTW - If you want to try your hand, and be a little more adventuresome - fabric/craft stores, like A.C.Moore & Michael's, carry 12"x18" sheets of velveteen/felt in all sorts of colors for about $3ea, and spray adhesive.

You could remove the damaged plastic liner altogether, cut a few strips of thin wood slats to the right lengths/angles, and the cover them - for a partitioned case interior, like Colt caplock revolvers used to be presented in.
