Awesome. I'll have someone else's wife blaming me for something for once.
Tactical Cue Case
- Thread starter BeachBum2012
- Start date
I just had a brain storm. John could approach the Duck Dynasty guys and make them cases. They could do a product tie in with cases designed for them. Diamond could set up a table in their shop and it will be in the background or featured from then on. Give pool a little promo at least.
I hear what you are saying actually feel the same way, the more I think about it. I forgot JB Cases were made in china. My wife is going to make a sleeve for a 2x4 case in this fashion, or even dissasemble a shitty case I already have and let here put it on that.
I try to buy American as often as I can. If those Mike Rowe Walmart ads are true maybe something will change,
It is hard even when you study the labeling. They can be pretty good at hiding it using the terms "Distributed by" and a US address. Some years ago Walmart had products marked "Made in the USA". Turned out the marking referred to the packaging and not the actual product. Walmart even ran ad's stating everything they sold was proudly made in the USA and it was just a blatant lie.
If you really want to do something positive try to patronize small business and stay away from the big discount stores when ever possible. Sometimes you can't it is not realistic. I just bought a gun and I checked with my local shop and it was $125.00 more then I got it from the big place.
You should have went to "Gun Smoke" and bought from them. Love that show.
I don't know what you are talking about.
Patriotism has nothing to do with purchasing anything made in another country.
John Barton is also an American military veteran. I admire John for being the entrepreneur that he is. John is an American Patriot, making a living building some of the finest cue cases in the world.
I am a proud owner of not only a cue case by JB CASES, but also a proud owner of an all leather carrying case for a set of pool balls also made by www.jbcases.com
You suggest that you are an American veteran but I have no way of knowing that since your identity isn't known to me. Perhaps you would consider sending me your DD214?
I promise to keep it and the information on it, CONFIDENTIAL.
Thanks,
JoeyA
Be sure to have a hundred thousand dollar budget for doing business with Duck Dynasty. My son inquired about them doing a personal interest story for Louisiana Duck carvers and they immediately sent him on up to the good ole boys from New York and that's where they laid the $pin on the local philanthropic project. :duck:

Your right however we not talking about buying anything we are talking about putting a US military patch on a Chinese case,, sorry I'm not as easily impressed by JB as you are but in this case it's irrelevant I could care less who made the case I'm not sticking anything that represents the USA on anything that's not made in the US ,, that's just me
You can stick your stuff any where you want
I can give u a couple of suggestions if need be

Wow a geopolitical debate over a cue case on AZB. Never would have seen that coming.
I guess this Iwo Jima image on foreign made table cloth should make someone's head explode
Glad to see your back from your monthly AZ vacation ,,,

Hello Lou, we have some unfinished conversation apparently. You have made some comments that are 100% untrue when you know I couldn't respond.
As usual I have to state the same facts I have previously stated to make sure your version isn't taken as truth.
I will find them and respond accordingly.
Over under on the next ban?
Too hard to predict because what one gets banned for is not consistent. If we were to go by the rules as written I'd be willing to give odds and bet that I don't get banned any time in the next 12 months.
But it's a climate where a ban can be handed down even though a rule is not broken in my opinion. My opinion though is useless because I am just a user.
Anyway this thread is about tactical cue cases.....
I have to say it feels pretty cool to me. Years ago I played around with a system where you could attach and pockets to any body. I called it the Chameleon series (or Matt called it that) - anyway it didn't really take off like we thought at a show so we shelved it.
But I think that using the PALS webbing has a lot more potential and looks cool. Happy to discuss price in a PM.
Absolutely we can. I might have to charge a bit more though because this material was bought in the USA from an official supplier of true ACU Cordura.
Black no problem. Price via PM.
Thank you Rusty, it means an awful lot to get a compliment from you.
You are the epitome of patience. If I had to guess your job it was probably a sniper.
Thank you for the faith and can't wait to do 2.0 for you.No problem as long as I can get the material. I think that my supplier probably has it.
The cue compartment unzips enough to get to the cues easily. And it can also be slung over the case to be behind the zipper. I did think though that I should have probably added two more D-rings so that the strap can go any way that the user chooses. Waiting for Brian's input on what I should change to make the next one better. We can always do yours exactly as you direct us to do it.
Blame me anytime but ESPECIALLY when I am banned. How they come out when I am gone with the comments is always funny. Especially the ones who begged me for friendship when I am here.
Thank you Joey. Out of all the people to argue with I don't go out of my way to antagonize former Marines.
Maybe others should have the same level of respect. Well as mom used to say, "if wishes were horses then beggars would ride."Well, looks like the material matched perfectly to Brian's existing pouches.

Joey makes a great point. It's not John's fault that America has made it nearly impossible to run a small business, having to get employers insurance, product insurance and other crap just to run a small business.
My step dad makes triathlon bikes out of my old bedroom and was making good money. Yet he had to get his titanium frames from China. He made a high quality product for a fair price and he is a die hard conservative Jew. Everyone loved his bikes but it was even a pain for him to run this tiny business party time out of my bed room.
I don't blame John for trying to make money in the environment created by our crappy politics and economy.

It seems that all I see are leather cases out there. I love them, and as a Harley guy am no stranger to leather, but I'd kind of like something different. I'm interested in perhaps having a case made to resemble a tactical rifle case. It would be something I'd never seen and would be kind of cool to have all of my shooting gear, wether pool room or firing range, match in style. I'm thinking something along the lines of this:
Would be kind of cool to have the MOLLE attachments to be able to change pouches as I saw fit too.
What do you guys think? Know of anyone who could make something like this?
Maybe a good upholsterer could modify an existing rifle case, by adding some components to hold things in place for carrying & storage. Doesn't look like a hard modification to me.
