A carrying case assembly for carrying a shotgun is provided. The shotgun is disassemblable into a barrel subassembly and a stock-receiver subassembly. The case assembly comprises an outer case member having a first case member portion and a second case member portion hingedly connected to the first case member portion with the first and second case member portions being closable together defining a compartment. An insert member is mounted within the compartment and substantially extending from the first case member portion to the second case member portion, the insert member separating and supporting the barrel subassembly and the stock-receiver subassembly.

[ I claim:] [1.] A softsided carrying case assembly for carrying a disassembled gun, the gun disassemblable into at least a barrel subassembly having a length, a width and a cross-section height, and a stock-receiver subassembly having a length, a width and a cross-section height, the softsided case assembly comprising:a carrying case member having a first case member portion, and a second case member portion, each case member portion defining a width dimension and a length dimension for said carrying case member, the length dimension being longer than the width dimension, said first and second case member portions each having an outer surface and an inner surface, said first and said second case member portions each having substantially the same width and length dimensions and each being substantial mirror images of the other;a foldable connection portion connected to said first case member portion and said second case member portion, said first and second case member portions being matingly foldable together about said foldable connection portion in a manner such that the inner surfaces of both said first case member portion and said second case member portion define a compartment;an insert member for separating a barrel subassembly and a stock-receiver subassembly of a to-be-carried disassembled gun, said insert member secured to one of said case member inner surfaces, said insert member having a width dimension aligned with said width dimension of said case member, a length dimension aligned with said length dimension of said case member, and a height dimension which is substantially equal to or greater than the greater of the cross-section heights of a barrel subassembly and of a stock-receiver subassembly of a to-be-carried disassembled gun, the height of said insert member extending from said first case member portion inner surface to said second case member portion inner surface, said insert member also having a first edge along its length for receiving a barrel subassembly of a to-be-carried disassembled gun, and a second edge along its length separated from and opposed to said first edge of said insert member for receiving and separating a stock-receiver subassembly of a to-be-carried disassembled gun from a barrel subassembly within said compartment defined by said first case member portion and said second case member portion;whereby, when a disassembled gun barrel subassembly is placed along said first edge of said insert member and a disassembled stock-receiver subassembly is placed along said separated and opposed second edge of said insert member, and said first case member portion and said second case member portion are matingly folded together about said foldable connection portion, a softsided carrying case assembly is provided for carrying a disassembled gun.
