These have the .5" cubes marked off and you just pluck out the places where you want cavities to be, but I believe if you order so many of them, they will CNC out the foam to your specs. If enough people agree on a setup maybe all you guys wanting pelican cases can set up a group buy.

Any help would be great. A 1720 can fit a 16" AR with a collapsible stock and a 20" AR with A2 stock, so I would think that the 1750 is overkill for two carbine length rifles ( unless you were going to use the additional length to store other gear ).

Posted: 2/12/2007 8:51:57 AM I have a newbie question about Pelican. First off, thanks for all the links and pics in this post. I've got a few cheap cases here and there for other rifles but the Pelican case concept (as presented here) makes a lot of sense. Being able to carry multiple mapgs, etc at once to the range is ultra convenient. My question is: Why do I always hear "Pelican"? Is it that these guys are the only ones doing it? Or is it a matter of, they're just the best? Thanks! I'm not rich and so every penny I spend on a case, is another penny not spent on ammo!

Posted: 2/12/2007 8:53:52 AM I got mine at Cabelas. $189 for the 1720 and $199 for the 1750. You can find them cheaper on the internet, but then you will pay high shipping and supposedly if you ever have a problem, you take the case back where you ought it and they make it right. That is hard ot do when you buy one off of ebay. Every now and then Cabelas sends out those coupons for so much off your purchase over a certain amount. Get on their mailing list and try that. That is what I did. I got my 1720 for right at $160.

I don't know about best, but I was able to get Sportsman's Warehouse to price match the best price I could find online ( www.boss-safety.com at the time). Saved shipping, picked up sales tax. Probably a wash, but I got the opportunity to give my business to a shop I genuinely like.

Otherwise, (but more trouble) I could rig it with fittings for a nitrogen purge and store it under slight positive pressure. Hell, for that matter I could store it in argon. Got to be a way to do this! Most cases are outfitted with open cell foam, which "collects" moisture from the humidity in the air and other sources (slobber from the mouth breathers looking at your kit). Closing the case creates a independent atmosphere with no airflow and that constant level of humidity. Temp increases and decreases can cause it to condense on the weapon, providing a favorable environment for oxidation. Some folks have good luck doing it, I've had some rust issues doing it. If you have the capacity, a positive pressure nitrogen environment would probably do the trick, but that's a little extreme for a rifle case. When you do this, post pics.

This will allow you to transport the rifle across state lines under Title 18, Part I, Chapter 44, §926A "Interstate Transportation of Firearms" without having to lose the room for one magazine.
