Lets See Some Pelican Cases/ 15 year old thread and still going. (Page 18 of 19)
| I need a few cases myself, I have a IM2720 I'm going to use for a 12" pistol, who's got the best prices on foam? |
However, the adherence and almost slavish devotion to "nothing it going to happen" requires not researching and even ignoring things that are going on right now.-Tirod

The best part about this thread is to see how the rifle types have changed over the years...
In the beginning, CAR length uppers, short quad rails, the ERGO 93 butt stocks (I had two of them)....to the current 15" handguards with 16" barrels.... I have a pelican case from 1984, one well built case. 77 |

Have a flambu case. Wanting to improve the foam (egg shell right now).
Been looking for foam to cut as pictured, but a thought occured, what about a pliable type rubber? Would rubber work? Would weigh more but may last longer. Thanks. |

Requirements: 7 pistols and space for magazines, silencers, some ammo, mag loaders, dessicate.
Selection: Pelican Air 1605 Attached File I decided to make the ends rounded, so I used a hole saw to drill thru the kaizen foam. Attached File All cut and layers glued together. Attached File Then a coat of Plastidip to make the foam more durable Attached File Cut the bottom one inch of foam out for some more magazine storage. Attached File |

Final product.
Attached File With a bit of cloth for cushion, I can get two full size handguns in each slot in the 69 position, so I can actually get 14+ in here. I decided to make the slots very large for this flexibility, but also because I'm in the market for a 6 inch revolver which will require the extra length. This is very handy for range travel and will make for a good experience staying proficient with each, compared to dealing with several separate pistol bags. |

Got a 1600 today to fit a broken down 14.5” and other stuff. The pluck-n-pull is ugly, but functional. 
Second layer, 6 30rd Pmags and plenty of extra real estate. May do a Glock set up in the future, or leave the room for more mags. Undecided for now.

Still great pics for those who need ideas for how to set up their cases.

| I would just say 'less is more'. I have a Pelican case with only 2 rifles, 2 optics, and a bipod and it's HEAVY! I wouldn't recommend adding the weight of loaded magazines to it, especially since you'll most likely be using more then the couple that can fit in the case. Also, I left a cutout for my suppressor in my case as well, but found that I store my suppressors in a separate case with their wrenches, attachments, etc. |

Inside is just 1" foam with egg crate foam on top since I usually pack it full with my shotgun and clothes. But the outside...all the breweries I've hit and a few misc stickers. Will this throw off their scent? Attached File Attached File |

Familiarity and prolonged exposure without incident leads to a loss of appreciation of risk.
| What is the thin material that can be used to add rigidity to foam for use as pull out trays in a double layer setup? |

The foam is generally firm and supports the contents of the case very well. Just don't make cuts so close that the material between the items is overly thin.  |
