Case layout

[DanBow]

How does this look? Any thoughts? Do? Don'ts?

 

 

The hole that the M4 mags are in was already there. It had the foam in it but it was already cut.

Looks fine to me👍

I would take the acog off and front thingy at the pointy end cause they look higher/thicker so may stop the foam from gripping the gat snugly.

I've already swapped the acog for a red dot that is roughly the same width as the pew. The bottom foam comes in layers so I I can make it fit, underneath, quite snug and the top wave foam will compress against it.

With a case that size, why not take sights & peq off, see if another pew you like to use will fit too then cut space for any attachments afterwards?

One of us is a mind reader!

pistol grip to pistol grip... might give you more usable space.

[Cr0-Magnon]

You don't need them so close together. I'd say leave at least two squares between them so the remain foam doesn't just come away.

I've had a play with positions but am going with a, very slight, variation of the original layout. The MP5 is a heavy old beast and putting them in together would make the whole thing a bit too . . . heavy!

do you put a foam layer between the top & bottom when closing?

I was going to ask the same thing.

[Skullchewer]

Oh, we doing cases?

Love shadowfoam, but as you can see from the bottom picture, if you sell the gun you need new foam 🤦🏼‍♂️

Nope don't need to, nothing touches when it's shut

I used to shoot air rifles, and have a friend who occasionally still competes.

Can't speak for him, but your wood gives me wood.

Feeling sad... kinda want a hard case for my pews now.

 

Trouble is... I know I don't need one.

 

I have case envy

I don't see the reasoning behind your logic! What's need got to do with it? This is Airsoft, it's ALL about want!

Magical leopluradon!

[Enid_Puceflange]

I run a hard case when visiting sites, as I take a couple of different rifs, I haven’t bothered cutting foam to allow one case to be used for several pewpews

 

I got a 5.11 Cams which I put Shadow Foam into

Used it once

Its just too damn big 😂

 

[Jacob Wright]

This is my Peli Case, Shadow Foam inside and will carry 2 rifles and my pistol quite easily.

I know... as I typed it I looked at my pews and thought I don't need this big a collection either, the difference in my mind is... I can look at & enjoy my pews but a gun case is really a thing to carry them 10 feet from my front door to the boot of my car, I'll end up getting one eventually but it's low on my list of airsoft priorities (for now).

 

One of these would be nice...
