Is it possible to have 2 sets a foam cut out for 2 different rifles to be used in one pelican case? I am going to buy a 1750 pelican soon to use for a DPMS LR-308 and I would also like to use it for a remmy 700 also. Has anybody ever done this?

it's possible, all you need is an extra center section of foam, be careful that the one not in the case doesn't get destroyed

I've done it before with different AR's. If you do it right you can probably make an all purpose channel to snugly fit either of those rifles in.

I have done this for a few of my hard cases. I glue the top and the bottom together. What I do now is glue pieces of foam to hold what I want. It uses much less foam.

There are a lot of places to get foam - if you're looking for Pelican foam, just change the "0" to a "1". 1750 becomes 1751:
1751 foam set

Re: 2 sets of foam for 1 pelican case?
closed cell foam available from Defender Marine, bought some last year. It's used for seat cushions in boat cockpits that may be exposed to moisture. Local marine store might have it and save on shipping.
