Mossberg Hushpower - Custom Gun Slip Maker?

[Mr. Gain]

Many years ago I had a custom slip made for a 12g Mossberg Hushpower that minimised length by having a conventional "triangular" main compartment that held the body of the gun and long side pocket to hold the barrel. Below is a picture of the slip taken shortly after delivery.

Time has taken its toll on the old slip, and I'd really like to get another one of the same type made; and perhaps a smaller one for the .410 Mossberg Hushpower I have recently acquired.

Unfortunately, the original maker no longer does custom work so I need to find an alternative supplier. I should perhaps add that I'm looking for something in fleece-lined Cordura, or similar, not leather.

Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions!

Would something like the Beretta take-down slip be an option perhaps?

Thankyou for the swift suggestion WG, but the moderated barrel is 40" (101.6 cm) long so the 90cm Beretta slip is just too short... and a bit too blue... and if I'm honest, a bit too Beretta, as well.

No worries.

The green one is not quite so garish, but it does still say Beretta

Quality Gunslips offer a bespoke service - maybe worth a call?

As you correctly noticed, I didn't notice the other link! And the green one is much nicer, and more subtly branded, and it also appears to have a spacious barrel pocket... so all good except for length - how frustrating! (But my .410 Huspower would fit).

Ah, that does look promising! Let's see what they say.

Try Ogdens?

Phil Ogden might be worth a call

 

[Mr. Gain]

Thankyou BB and U71. I see Phil makes a leg o' mutton slip that would do nicely if extended, so I'll enquire with him too.

Saddlery and Gunroom in Kent. As they make the Hushpower guns they may be worth an email.

Thanks very much for the suggestion. Past experiences suggest an email would go unanswered but a call might work.

As it happens, Quality Gunslips have already got back to me and things look promising. If I only had the old slip still, I think there'd be no problem recreating it, but it went astray a while back, so a bit more work is involved.
