UPDATE:
Today I received my case foam from 'My Case Builder' and it was perfect! The foam was designed using their online CAD program. I used both the photo-tracing tool (for the carbine) and their library of firearm shapes (for the pistol). The case is a Pelican 1700: Case w/o weapons... Case w/ weapons... The pistol and carbine fit perfectly, no issues. My Case Builder |

So I just purchased my first Pelican 1750 to be used as a transport case for my A2 Rifle build & accessories.
I know that technically a 1720 can hold a full size A2, but it just seemed like everything would be too cluttered if I had gone that route. Does anybody have any experience with the 1720 vs. 1750 in this regard? Does the extra few inches in length of the 1750 case make it too awkward or overly heavy vs. the 1720 for everyday transport use? I bought the 1750 over the 1720 mostly because I figured that with the 1750, I could take out the foam & use the hard case along with a soft case to transport an M1A if need be. Hive thoughts & opinions on this please... |

Here is a Pelican 1740 double-decker case that I made. All of the foam cutting is done on my CNC router. This is what I do for a living. Lots more here: |

Was thinking about a 1720, but after looking at the pictures in this thread...1750 it is. Thank you.
Edit: On the Pelican 1750 vs. Pelican Storm IM3300...has anyone gone one way or the other and regretted it? I prefer the function of the latches on the 1750 (that's what I've used previously), but I like the looks of the additional latches on the 3300 and the slightly wider case. Why did you go one way or the other? ex. 3300 is two pounds lighter. It appears that the 1750 is the more reasonable of the two (price wise), from looking around online. Case with foam for $215 shipped. Thank you. |

From the reviews, it does not sound like there is a difference in quality...just the color options and the brand label. |

Great thread just found it and subscribed to it. I know it's a little old but who cares except those members here that like to post the emojis with the blue or red flashing heads telling members they did something wrong.
Who cares I posted on a not to old post because it was great and interesting Pictures are great also |
