I used a white crayon and it did the trick too. I cut inside the ccrayon outline which made it a slightly tight fit. I was then able to trim here and there to make it perfect. I pulled the foam out and placed it on cardboard so I could cut all the way through and slice it . As prev mentioned, dont saw it.

You guys say an electric carving knife works really well. Does it slice right through the foam making clean cuts?

Like a hot knife through butter.  The main thing is to take your time and be careful to keep the knife blade perpendcular to the foam.

I'm getting ready to do this and thanks for all the info, problem...I'm a former Marine and all you smart Air Force and Navy guys who have the brains, intelligence, and ability to safely manipulate a flipping electric carving knife without hurting yourself because you actually got a MOS where you thought about solutions to problems other then, do I use artillery, tanks, airpower, or a SMAW to get rid of that dipwad in the building, got me kind of paranoid about doing this. Anybody want to break this down (with pictures) to:
1. Buy case 2. Order Foam 3. Pull out old foam... 4. Cut new foam in shape of rifle 5. Order replacement foam from ER pay phone while the docs try to put the blood back in 6. Upon return home, clean blood off rifle, case, walls, foam. Clean up foam chunks from previous attempt, remove electric carving knife from sheetrock. 7. Apologize to wife and kids for swearing at them when they wouldn't get out of they way in stampede for the first aid kit, which of course wasn't in the fucking bathroom because the three year old used the first aid kit to put band aids all over her dolls without telling anybody. Which means you had to use the bathroom towels, the GOOD BATHROOM TOWELS. You know the ones next to the fucking soap... 8. When asked about ambulance secretly tell neighbors wife was on anti-depressants and flipped out, and don't believe anything she says, "Gun Case? I'm sorry she tried to do me in. Oh-yes! She is NUTS!..." 9. See step number three... My main question is my case, when opened is 4 inches deep. Do I order two 2" pieces and cut one to shape, then put that on top of the solid piece, or do I rip out chunks after cutting? Somebody help me out here...Need more pictures! |

What Size Pelican would I need (1700, 1720, 0r 1750) for my AR-15 with 20" barrell? I'd prefer not to break it in half to pack.
Thanks. |

Here's mine.
  It didn't turn out too bad considering my electric turkey carver died 10 seconds after I began cutting. Ended up using a retractable box cutter blade removed from the knife. You almost have to do it once in order to get it right. Second time around I am sure it will be much better. |

Looks great, did you trace an outliine first, or just go by eye and fitting?

Thanks!
Yes. I laid all the items out first. Once I got an arrangement that suited my particular needs I traced each item. I know most people use chalk since it can be easily wiped off once complete, but I opted for my favorite black Sharpie. You can still see traces of it if you look closely. |

Has anybody ever had a custom made case by either Pelican or Starlight ? What I want is a case that is just big enough to carry my M4 wannabe broken down with some room for mags.I have looked and there is nothing that matches the size I need.
