Hi everyone,
I thought you might be interested in seeing the case I'm making for my suppressors. In the past I've cut my own foam for Pelican rifle cases with electric kitchen knives, but for this project I decided to go with a website that came with great recommendations - mycasebuilder.com My project started with an empty Pelican 1600 case (I got a 1600 and 1620 from work). Outside: 
Inside: 
|
- Should be less than a month until they are out!)
|
In addition to the cost of the foam, I paid 2 extra fees.
The first was their "Fail Safe" fee that was $7.99 and was for a "Do Over" if you mess up on any of the measurements. So far I'm pretty happy with the measurements, but a few are a little off - Once I see how the other 6 fit, I might use the "Do Over"... The second was for it to be cut in half and have 2 layers made, and for a layer of hard plastic to be put on the bottom of the "Tray" layer to make it more rigid - That was $19.37. |

Thanks!
All 10 of the suppressors are SWR and I was thinking of putting a custom vinyl decal on the outside of the case (They are all out of the cool SWR logo / bumper stickers, etc...) I was thinking of: Shhhhh! Inside (Like the Intel Inside logos) Case O' Cans Silent but Deadly Silent but Violent Any opinions / suggestions? If anyone has some SWR decals they don't want I'll pay the postage to take 'em off your hands! |
OK - I went with "Shhhh" 
Here are a few pics: Decal from http://www.vinzdecals.com:

Second layer peeled off - Done!:

UPDATE:
All cans that are going in the case are now in my possession - I still have 2 Gemtech Mist-22's in jail, but those are barrel replacements and will be permanently attached to 2 Ruger 10/22's - never in the case. I sent the case foam back to mycasebuilder.com for some final re-arrangements / sizing mistakes I made (I paid the 8 dollar fee to get one re-do) so I'll have to wait a few before a final picture update... |

Hey Royal - I did the foam at a site called My Case Builder - http://www.mycasebuilder.com
If you want to see what it looks like without having to set up an account, etc..., go back to the start of the thread and look at the screenshots I took of their online cad / design program - It's pretty cool. |

That's really cool that you can order them pre-made like that.
If you're into DIY stuff, you can get a kit for making foam inserts that comes with the foam and the tools for under $100 Complete Instrument Case Kit |

That made me smile. |
