A full foam set for a Pelicase 1750 is about £85 delivered from Pelicase.

Never done a case but did some cut outs in foam and rubber for a mate to put in his cabinet and used the jigsaw blade in link below. They are very sharp as I found out.

Have a look at these https://www.easyfoam.co.uk/

I bought some foam from them a couple of months ago to fit out a gunbox. Delivery was quick and the price was right.

HI

Which foam and what did you cut it with ?

Draw round the items you want to out in the case on paper. Cut out these stencils. Arrange as you wish and pin in place with cloths pins. Then use a hot wire cutter. Bob's your uncle

Much more reasonably priced that getting it from an actual case maker/anything to do with shooting! I bought mine in 3 layers, one to serve as the base to protect from the bottom side, one to actually cut the shape of the gun, and a layer of 'egg-box' foam to stick to the underside of the case lid.

I think it worked out at just over £20 per layer and now i have the top and bottom layers in the case if i want to change it for different gun outlines I just need to buy the middle layer

When you cut it if you do, do the reverse method (so you don't get the marker outline, make sure you hold your knife/cutter PERFECTLY perpendicular to the foam surface or you can end up with a MUCH larger/smaller hole on the other side and the thicker the foam the hard it is to maintain it!

Which foam did you use ?

Which foam did you use ?

The packaging foam cut to size https://www.efoam.co.uk/packaging-foam.php Cut it with a cheapo electric carving knife. Would be tempted to try the jigsaw blade linked above if i was doing it again though, i found the carving knife is very difficult to keep at a perfect 90 degree/perpendicular angle because of its handle.
