Replacement rifle case foam
« on: December 17, 2013, 09:25:51 AM »
Anybody know where I can  get replacement foam for my rifle case locally? Doesn't have to be cut to size or anything. I just want to buy black foam and cut it down myself. I hate the pic and pluck crap that so many cases comes with.

I worked and worked at finding good replacement foam, and in the end just went with the real deal Pelican foam off Amazon.  It's expensive, but free shipping makes it pretty competitive with other options.

Just found exactly what I was looking for. Grainger on Paa Street sells the stuff. I opted for the closed cell foam like I put in one of my pistol cases. It isn't as spongy as the standard pluck and suck stuff and it isn't quite as rigid as styro-foam. It's kind of a tweaner of the 2. It cost $35.00 per 4'x2'x1"sheet. It isn't any cheaper than the real deal stuff from Pelican but it's what I prefer. I will put some effort into this project so it looks as good as the rifle I'm putting in it when it's all said and done. I've only made one cut on it so far just so I can have a piece of scrap for some experimenting with Plasti Dip spray. It works well on the open cell stuff if applied carefully. Hopefully it'll work on the closed cell stuff too.
