A pelican 1200 hold ten 30 rounders or eight 30 rounders and four 20 rounders perfectly!
Just throw a silica pack in there and it's already air and water tight.

You can take the warrior out of the fight, but you can't take the fight out of the warrior.

When engaged in combat the vanquishing of thine enemy can be the warrior's only concern. Suppress all human emotion and compassion. Kill whoever stands in thy way, even if that be Lord God, or Buddha himself.

Question for all you Pelican owners out there; is cutting the foam really necessary?

I flew out to KS last month for some pheasant hunting, took my O/U and a Rem 870 in my new 1720; didn't cut the foam at all. Seemed to work just fine.

So what's the problem with just leaving the foam as-is? Not cool enough? Potential case/rifle damage?

Inquiring minds want to know...

I think cutting the foam is critical as the guns can, if the case drop hard enough, slide between the uncut layers of the foam possible banging into each other if there are multiple items in the case. JMHO.

Not to mention it kicks ass on the cool factor. Pardon my lack of research but I too am looking for a Pelican case. Do they sell foam to go with the case or is this aftermarket foam? Also what size would work for a 16" carbine? It looks as though a 1750 would suffice nicely for a 20" AR?

If you store your carbine with the stock closed then a 1700 will work. I keep my stock in the middle range so I ordered a 1720 to make room.

1700, 1720, or a 1750 would work for a 16" carbine. I have a 1720 for my 16" carbine, that I ordered from kblagg @ Ballistic Sounds. Most Pelican cases come with foam, though you can purchase without. You can also purchase the foam by itself.

My case is cut for my carbine and a bunch of mags. No pictures, cause my camera is very shitty, and you wouldn't be able to pick the black rifle out from the dark grey background. The case is cut for 6 20 round mags and 4 30 round mags. I'm going to get new foam here in not too long and cut it for my carbine and my 1911, and store the mags seperate. The new foam will come after the new buttstock for the rifle.

Are the Pelican/Storm cases acceptable for storage as well as transportation? The foam makes me nervous about corrosion, anyone use their's for storage? I'd like to use one for gun safe overflow.

Thanks!

No, dont store guns in the cases.

Here's a couple of mine with 10 thirty rounders in them. Don't have the 20round mags though. And sorry about the crappy pic.

Does Pelican make a gun case with egg crate foam on both sides? Quite frankly, I think cutting foam to fit one gun is stupid if you have multiple firearms and want to use the same case.

Can anybody help me out?

1700 case works great with a 16" Carbine with the stock closed, or a 14.5" with perm phantom with stock open.

1750 case is a huge bitch!

This is my 1720 case. This is my personal patrol rifle that I keep in the trunk of my patrol car. I'll be adding an EOtech at a later time. I had to set up this case to allow for a quick grab and go of the rifle. Single point sling rolled up. Also, if you are wondering, the yellow thing in the case is a safety block that you insert into the mag well and stick ups thru the ejection port. We use these when we train at the range so I keep it handy. It is a great way of making sure that the rifle is absolutely safe.
