I have a gun, hopper, 20oz tank, remote, 4+1 harness, ball tubes, mask, gloves, and misc. small stuff. I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a good case/holder for all of these items. It would habe to be simple enough to carry to a field. It would also have to be fairly large (bigger than a rifle/shotgun case). It also needs to be lockable. Durable plastic would do.
I have seen, in the past, guys who had a storage case/box that held all of their stuff. It seemed like it was a device made for outdoor sportmen/hunters. I would say it was about the size of a 24 gallon cooler, but it had wheels and was lockable. Yet I have never been able to find any in stores.
Let me know what your ideas or suggestions are. Thanks.

Well - what I found may not be what your looking for (not as big). But it would hold your gun, barrell, and other small stuff pretty well.

Yeah, Predator, I actually have a case very similiar to that, but it just doesn't cut it....I end up have to carry like 3 different things to the field (the small case, mask, and harness stuff).
I have looked at places like HomeDepot, Walmart, Sears, REI, ***lan's, even Cabela's....but the best they had was, like a large shotgun case or a case of bow-hunting.
I really want more of a box shaped thing...and those all purpose plactic storage boxes (that a person can buy anywhere) just won't cut it for paintball. It really needs to be lockable and fairly weather resistant. Lockable is important for many reasons, not the least of which is that I travel on airlines often and want to bring my stuff (FAA requires ALL guns to be in a locked case/box).
Thanks, ptflyer, for the suggestion on Cosco...will give it a try.

Think man, what else, can be pretty big, and delicate to breaking, and needs to be locked up. Cameras. Buy a camera case, hard plastic or metal outside, lots of foam in the inside, and is lockable. Take your barrel and tank off your gun, and it should all fit in a big case. Keep the barrel and tank on, and you probably wont find any case that will fit your gun. Pelican I beleive, makes really good cases that I've seen pball players use

Right on, ptflyer! That is exactly what I was looking for! The guys I saw with these must have gotten from a bigger tool store, like Northern. I actually went to Home Depot as my first choice to look at tool boxes/chests but they just didn't have anything that fit the bill.
Thanks for the info.

Go to a hunting store and they have gun cases that will hold a gun but im not sure for everything else. Well im looking for a big hard black case that will hold my gun barrel hopper paint mask etc. does anyone know wherei could get one?? Well Big5 might have cases. Just find like a big big like tool box type and then buy foam to put in it then you will be set.
