AshOnSnow Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I've been looking at Pelican Storm cases (the IM3220), but when you factor in the custom insert, £300 for a case is a hella big wallop to the wallet! Preferably, I'd like a single case that can store an HK416 type AEG with 6 mags, P226 with 4 mags, EOTech, ACOG, Foregrip, Pistol weaponlight and perhaps an additional RDS. The 3220 will accommodate this (see sketchup plan below), but are there any less expensive alternatives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz JJ Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Try Plano cases - cheaper alternative to Peli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spuggy1uk Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 It's Google Sketch Up. You can download it from here and it's free!: http://www.sketchup.com/ Easy to learn and use (if I can understand it, anyone can!) and there's also a library of thousands of models which you can save into your own work.

I thought I'd order one first before you gremlins snatch up all the stock It's from A1 Decoy. It's Trimble Sketchup (formerly by Google). It's great for planning out projects, and there are tons of community models often made to scale so you're able to visualise things in a 3D space really well. It's a godsend for stuff like this.

Ajax Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I thought I'd order one first before you gremlins snatch up all the stock It's from A1 Decoy. May not be proffesional enough for some but it has good reviews, decent size and best price I was able to find. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271749590011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshOnSnow Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 May not be proffesional enough for some but it has good reviews, decent size and best price I was able to find. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271749590011 I got something similar, but much deeper so I'll be able to store mags vertically and therefore fit a ton more stuff in it. As you can see, still ample room for spare batteries and maybe an additional RDS and 2nd pistol: To fit a 14.5" HK416 with 8 mags, ACOG, EOTech, Weaponlight, Foregrip, P226 with 6 mags all in one case that fits snug in the boot of the car and still leave room for more gizmos isn't bad faring if you ask me.

Brauster Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 This doesn't seem like a bad price. http://www.surplusstore.co.uk/bb-guns/bb-gun-accessories/src-hard-rifle-case-large.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
