When I was taking my wife to the store today, she asked me to stop at a large yard/tag sale in my neighborhood - where I spotted several small boxes that I thought would be well-suited to store/display a knife or a small handgun like my NAA Mini.
My .22mag NAA Black Widow, sans the huge issue rubber bumpers, fit right in.
(the "white" stuff on the box is bar soap I applied as a lube for the wooden lid)
The several boxes ( I bought the best 4, out of 8-10 available) for sale were all different brands Salt Cod wooden boxes (6"Lx4"Wx2"D) with a sliding lid - a smaller version of the famous/collectible/rare Salt Cod boxes that Bill Ruger shipped out his (then) new .22 Auto pistol in ( ca.1949 ?).
Now, I gotta get myself down to a hobby/fabric shop (A.C.Moore, Michael's, etc) and pick up some stiff foam blocks to fit to the box's interior & cut out for the NAA.
