Mouthpiece Case for a Heavyweight Helleberg

Post by dsfinley »

I recently bought an R&S Heavyweight Helleberg TUHH. I've been keeping it in a case that came with an electric razor that I never used. The other day I dropped it and it landed on my toe, which actually took hide off my toe. It hurt quite a bit. I was wondering if anybody knew of any good cases that were thick and padded that would fit the design of the TUHH. I would like to not lose a toe in the future. Lol

Agree with wtuba. Mike Milnarik's mouthpiece pouches are exceptional.

Try a local firearms dealer (or even Sports Authority) for a small pistol case - you might have room for the valve oil too.
