Sorry I don't know the model, if it will help i can take the measurements of the case
This thread is cool. I want to get some custom cutting done for my Pelican, Anyone have a name of someone in Charlotte NC?
I use to live in Dallas and had a guy that did a foam that was chemical resistant and cut with a die for great fit. But have not found anyone local in NC yet.

Not a Pelican but plenty of cushion for a very expensive optic.
Bought the case used off of Ebay and cut the foam with an electric carving knife. Secure and discrete.

This is a great idea, I'm going to have to look into doing something similar.
That's heavy! LOL
how do you keep the bags in place on the lid?
AXMC long action with the conversion kit in a pelican storm im3200. Think I'm going to do the transit case though.

That looks awesome! That's something I really want to do. Could you share details on the case you used and what company did it? Thanks

Random pics of various cases that I have or have done for other customers.
We don't use the crap foam either. Factory foam gets tossed and we replace with either waterjet cut or router cut cross-linked PE which is more expensive but is not abrasive and tougher.
Yes this is in a briefcase.

its a Storm 2720 case and the custom foam was through Case Club in Anaheim, CA. They have the template for it already so it should be cheaper then what I paid to get it done

Covertnoob,
I am in the process of fitting my AXMC to a pelican case. Found mine won't fit without folding the stock, so looking for ideas. Really like your layout! Did your case come with the foam that is in your pic? I don't have the second layer of foam and I have the same type of foam in the bottom as you have in the top.
Would like to hear wear you bought the foam, if it isn't original, and any other advise.
Thanks,
Steve
I have the same exact foam and layout (mine is in a SKB case). I believe this is EuroOptic's case. They switched from pelican to SKB

Thanks Bkultra.
Just looked to see if you posted a pic of your case. Didn't see one. Did I miss it?
Did you use the electric "carving" knife?
Any advise to pass on?
Just realized there are several recent threads on this subject.... Just going through them now, should have known there would be!

Bkultra,
THANKS! Sorry to bother you at such a wonderful time. I just had my wife come into my room to see what I was doing and ask if I wanted an evening beverage.... SO I am right behind ya.
Looks good. Pre cut, sounds good. I see this is going to be one of those projects that I started out thinking this will be an hour job. Gathered all my AI goodies and range bag to layout and see I started with the problem of needing to fold the stock, Pelican 1750 case, and then finding I would like two layers of foam on top or three on the bottom to do this right.
My wife asked how much the new AXMC cost, she knows, and said I should just buy a proper case to protect the investment. Easy answer, but I can only afford the AXMC by being frugal..... SO I'm not there yet.
Looks like I will have a project for tomorrow!
Thank you for all the effort of posting the pic when you are busy.

Geronimo!
what soft case is that? I really like the idea of having one that will fit in a pelican case
Why cut foam for only one kit? Just get the convoluted eggcrate foam and stick what you want inside. Put magazines and range gear in the layer underneath. The gun does not move, test it at home if you don’t believe me.
I can fly with my trap gun or rifle or any combo. Pack intelligently, maybe wrap a bolt in bubble wrap, use common sense.
I wouldn’t store guns for a long period in foam in an airtight case btw.

One of my pelicans. Pretty simple. Nothing to write home about. Definitely enough to write some about here ??
Well Rob01, I wouldn't even had thought about it, untill you stated your opinion.
Thanks for your remark, It will be put to use once my pelican and AI arrivés!
Greetz!
My soft case is a cheapo from voodoo tactical I think but I like it a whole lot better than foam. I can change rifles or equipment and not worry about buying new foam. The rifle is suspended by the straps and doesn’t move. I tried it with just a drag bag but it moved too much for me.
His name is Bob.
Have to watch out when Bob is drinking.

I had cobra custom foam inserts make me a few before I made a long distance move. Price was not bad and the cut outs turned out good. They sell various sized foam and will make the cuts however you want them, prices are not that bad. I am out of town right now but once I get home I will post pics.

I just saw this. How the fuck do they figure it out from just a picture?
I think from researching the dimensions of the make/ model of what ever you take a pic of, they probably have a database by now. I included a yard stick on the bottom and left side of the pics I sent in though. When I received the foam everything fit perfectly. I have one pelican that is the thickness of two 1700 series (can’t remember the model, maybe the 3300) I had them make a dual layer out of it, came out really good.
Thanks for sharing. I would like to see some pics when you get a chance.
I did this a couple days after my last post in this thread.
Used an electric knife. I was getting too involved in shopping for a hot wire then designing my own that was better to use on my large tablesaw, ect...
Something I learned that I had not thought about, but should have, is trying to balance the load in the case. I was more interested in positioning the items efficiently in the available space. My case carries with the rifle end of the case low due to all the weight of the rifle toward that side. Possibly not a problem for those without a folding stock as I had never noticed it before will all my other rifles that I had carried in this case.
