evansy Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) My current storage/transport cases The rifle bag holds 3 primaries (in there atm is a M249 para, L85 and M4 CQBR) The Dosko rifle case is for my VSR The Dosko Pistol case holds all my pistols The small pistol case is for whichever pistol I take to a skirmish And for home storage, well you can see that in the background.

Titleist Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 That's it? I expected more. I'm up to 3x 1720s, 1750, 2x 1450s, a 1520, and soon to have a 1690 (that fits a mac pro/cinema display when my company sends me on location). Â Old picture, but I've since added a spot for my PEQ, Aimpoint M2, Sling, and tools. Â Â Oh god, Pelican cases... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Panoptes Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Absolutely, thank you. If only more things had been fixed by Germany. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
col.parsons Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Except HK was owned by Royal Ordnance at the time, so technically, *we* fixed it  Excellently presented cases there btw Panoptes - muchos kudos!!! Would love to have my kit so professionally stored! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Oh god, Pelican cases...  Indeed.  I quite like my 1750. Definetally worth the investment, methinks.  Haven't cut it yet, though. I plan to do so after I have my guns converted.  However, I did slap a buncha' kewel stickers on it.  -Vic  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I gotta cut out another 1720 next week for my FN Bolt action, mmmm....foam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) How do you cut your foam? Hot wire? Edited January 30, 2009 by junior Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) From what I remember, Titleist used an extra long X-Acto blade.  Which is probably what I'll be using, too. (Unless any of you know of any better cutting methods.)  -Vic  Edit: http://cgi.ebay.com/100-PERSONNA-X-ACTO-AR...%3A1%7C294%3A50  Something like this, perhaps. Only I don't 100 of 'em...

Sarge133 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Having never owned a Peli before, and plan to buy one for my Colt 6920. How exactly do you fit them to the rifle? Set it on the foam and trace around it with a Sharpie? Or cut around it with an X-acto knife? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panoptes Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Peli recommend an electric carving knife. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 You don't need a carving knife, that'll just tear the foam. An extra long #11 exacto blade (use it with a knife) will go through the foam like butter. I typically just use a chalk pencil, put the gun, mags, etc on the foam, trace it, then just cut it out a little smaller than the outline. It's better to have it more snug then having some play. Â I usually just use a standard x-acto, but the ones Victory linked to will do the job. It takes about 2-3 passes down the cut to make it through, but it will go through like friggin butter with a sharp blade. X-actos are as sharp as scalpels. Â I need to get a 1700 for my SBR in about 3 months, I could get a 1720 but frankly that'd fit the gun with the Suppressor attached, and HALF the fun of owning a real suppressed AR is taking it out of the case and ratcheting on the 'can'.

Panoptes Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Oh, sorry. Peli must be wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Oh, sorry. Peli must be wrong. Â They may have meant a electric knife, but again that just leaves the foam melted, and can scratch the finish on some items. The best way is the simplest, lay your items on the foam, trace the shape (I use a chalk pen because it wipes off with some water), cut it out, and it's done. I find it takes an hour per case, so play some tunes and have fun. Â Measure twice, CUT once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Looks like I'll need another 1750... Â Don't know what I was thinking when I thought I'd be able to fit both the M468 and the IAR in one 1750. Â -Vic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
