I used an electric knife for that, when needed. The pelican foam is just the right thickness (two separate sheets)

Thanks for sharing the photos. Great job. yes what he said, please Thanks for all the kind words, glad I can help contribute to an excellent resource. I'll draw up some build plans with instructions this weekend...perhaps put it all in a new thread (complete with the begining of this one) and try to get it tacked. Mark

I need to do something similar with a 308 sniper rifle setup I have and couldn't figure out how I wanted to do it until I saw your post. Thanks again for the ideas and instructions.

The foam holds moisture and the case is a closed environment with some O2 from the air. You could slow the rust by purging CO2 or Argon in the case though.

The Pelican example I show, was for transport out of state, for a carbine class. I probably won't use that layout again. Having aver $12K of kit, in one case, made my custom cut-job worthwhile.

What if you leave a pack of dessicant in the case as well?
