I have a Pelican Travel Vault, an older one, which I think is about the same as the 1750. I bought it used, and someone had cut the foam out for an SKS. I'm going to use it exclusively for my Remington 700, and would like to get replacement foam for it, without paying an arm and a leg. Is there any way to use something else other than the factory foam to replace it? I'm sure you can buy some dense foam sheets from somewhere. I also have long since thrown away the other foam, and I'm not sure how thick of a piece I need. Help would be appreciated, thanks.

I have ordered foam from these folks, good to do business with and reasonably priced. The foam I have ordered from them always come in a factor box from pelican. Hope this helps.

Just google "foam for cases". Lots of choices. Here are two that came up in seconds:
Custom Foam Inserts for Cases | Custom Cut Packaging Foam
Gun Case Foam | High Density Foams | Custom Case Foam - Carolina Custom Foam
I know nothing about these companies and have no experience with them, but both do custom foam for cases.
Likely someone here has personal experience with a supplier.

I bought a couple of middle pieces from these guys, wasn't all that bad, shipping kills a guy.

I buy foam from foam factory( http://www.thefoamfactory.com/closedcellfoam/polyethylene.html ) The last foam I got was 2.2lb CLOSED cell foam. I will never go back to open cell foam. Closed cell is much easier to work with and a much better finished product. If you buy enough, you can use different pieces of foam for different guns. Just use contact cement to glue the two bottom pieces together after you are done cutting. A hot wire knife is great for cutting as well as an electric meat/bread knife for straight cuts. Good luck.
