A tip that worked for me... When you had your foam plucked and laying on the cardboard, it was pretty easy to see that it was losing shape and also that some pieces of foam came apart. Once I had my foam cut to the shapes I needed, I placed my bottom layer into the case and then I lined the walls of the case with newspaper, letting it hang over the edges. Then my main foam went in and the extra newspaper covered the lid of the case and hung over the sides. Then I sprayed the foam. Having the foam tight inside the case for spraying kept its shape perfectly and there were absolutely no splits in the pick and pluck foam. I left the foam in the case for two days before taking the newspaper out.
I'm doing the same, but the top layer out of Kaizen foam. Give the surfaces a wipe with alcohol and glue the Kaizen to the pick and pluck. It'll hold it together and look clean
Excellent work. The only Pelican case experience I have is one for the size of a digital camera, circa 2003. You are right about the initial fear of 'messing it up'. Once you pluck a few it's like playing with a 3-d puzzle maybe. Good job on the re-enforcing of the non-compliant columns.
I needed to fit a Radio Test Set into a iM 2975 and the pick and pluck was separating in spots I didn't want it to, as well as I wanted to make the different layers adhere to each other. So, I used 3M super 77 adhesive to make everything stay put. However, the high-stress areas still want to pull apart. I think I may give this a try.
It's not a bad idea to use it shortly after putting it together. You learn where you need the extra reinforcement on your foam. Looks aren't as important as functionality! It still looks awesome! I see a pelican in my future. Thanks...hubby is thrilled!
just bought 2 of the pelican 3220 rifle cases and a 4 gun pistol case on amazon prime . got a lot of toys i gotta move so these will be great for shipping across 3000km 😊
I just bought a used 1740 case that has custom foam cut out for a Faro Arm setup. Got it for only 95 dollars and now I just need to get new foam and set it up for a couple rifles and shotgun.
Thank you! I don't regret it but definitely make sure your guns are 100% set up the way you want them to be because I am like a little kid that just cant sit still when it comes to my guns, I am forever changing them up and its a pain in terms of already cut foam.
Thats a great case set up you. You just passed an amazing idea over this way. Thanks. I need one for my guns and then another one for my Camera gear for my UA-cam channel. Thanks for the great tips and your awesome reviews. Cheers, Will
I'm thinking about getting the 0550. 6 inches longer AND taller as well as nearly twice as wide, with enough space for maybe 4 - 5 long guns or shotguns. It would be anchored into the trunk of a car or truck bed.
Sai Namuduri well as long as you’re ok with lack of portability then I say go for it! My case is as large as I would recommend for portability. It gets heavy fast and is already obnoxious at the range lol
@@4MRRanch yeah I mean for the range I'd be taking stuff out of the case and putting it in a rifle bag that doubles as a shooting mat anyways. But right now I'm doing mostly indoor and table shooting, hoping to get into the thousand-yard club in a couple years or so. Better to be prepared now haha
$525 for this case on Amazon and with different foam it’s $600, just bought a couple of these and 1660s and a transport 1780 that’s closer to $700 with foam and 1830 around $650.
I think I’m going to buy this without the foam and then place my guns into individual long gun padded cases. End to end barrels next to buttstocks. Should be able to hold 5 guns. Anyone else have experience with this before I drop 300-400 buck?
Which optic is that on the rig closest to the hinges? Viper Vortex PST? 6x24 power 50mm? I see the Viper Vortex in the middle so im guessing you stuck with the same company for the 50mm? How do you like it vs the ACOG? I picked up a Pelican 1740 case because of this video. I already have a 1560 for all my handguns and needed one case for 3 of my rigs. 2 AR15s and an AR10. This video convinced me I can fit all 3 into one case with plenty of room to spare.
Correct, that was a Gen one 6-24 x 50mm. Love it as well as the ACOG, but comparing the two isn’t comparing apples to apples. They each have their intended purposes and strong suits.
Can you give me a measurement of what the lower left compartment's dimensions are? I like the idea of using that for magazines, ear protection, etc. I just got this case in the other week, but instead of 2 ARs along the bottom I'm going to cut out for an SMG on the bottom, AR like yours, Scar/AK platform above that, and then the pistols/magazines/etc.
Seriously no wonder why people are so lazy. All people do is ask other people what they suggest instead of doing your own research and trial and error and testing. See everyone wants the cheapest deal yet they want it just handed to them. You get what you pay for you want it cheap then guess what you are the rest pig and may have to try different cases but in the end you know what you have and it will be perfect for you. Instead of wanting the cheapest deal while being lazy and not doing any work plus complain when it’s expensive and cost to much so you don’t buy it. So you just end up wasting someone else’s valuable time. While you may not have any value in your own time and expect people to do the same that’s not the case and someone’s time can cost the most so stop whining and do your own leg work lazy millennial
G Man it’ll be close. I can fit my Remington 700 chambered in .308. I would take measurements of your rifle and compare it to the inner dimensions of this container.
Rocco Borghetti maybe 4 at the most but that’s assuming you don’t have anything in the sides like lights or extended charging handles. I would say 3 would be safest. I cut it really close for space with my layout
That case has mad Resident Evil 4 vibes.

Why does no one else do it this way? Genius 💪🏻
My OCD is in Heaven, That's the best case and layout on UA-cam, nice work.
This is what I’ve been looking for. Thank you my guy!
Anybody know where budget foam replacement is?

I’ve spent hundreds on cheap plastic rifle cases that have always failed on me. So this seems like a reasonable solution for me

Its been a great setup that I really enjoy. Glad to give you some ideas.
4MR Ranch thanks brother
Nicely done!
Excellent video great ideas and tips. Well done
Thanks for watching!
Now they cost 500 dollars
Everything is going up these days..
Thanks Biden
Peli Case 1740 (with foam) price in Finland is whopping 820$. Bought mine from Germany 525$. Great cases anyway!
Jesus h why is it soo much over there
Great job. Informative video.
Thanks for watching
I was thinking this case with individual rifle bags. Wonder how many I can fit in there without foam.
2018 Price: $300
2024 Price: $525
Yep.. inflation sucks.
I think they should call it their DH case. That stands for double hernia.
p47rr it definitely gets heavy fast but that’s what the wheels are for!
Super helpful. Thanks!
Nice Job. I am looking at options.

Couldn't you spray the foam before cutting?

@@tommymadux3646 Jesus christ weep and cry more please
Nice asf
What’s the length of the .308?
20”
Switch out that pick and pluck foam for some Kaizen that's the stuff if you live in so cal I got to hook up
I'm in Texas but agree the pick and pluck is sub par
What part of so cal
What's the hookup? I live in SoCal
Think it'll fit 4 Remington 30-06's with scope if I cut vertically?
G Man it’ll be close. I can fit my Remington 700 chambered in .308. I would take measurements of your rifle and compare it to the inner dimensions of this container.
@@4MRRanch Ok. Thanks for the reply
How many ARs could you slot in there? At least 5?
Rocco Borghetti maybe 4 at the most but that’s assuming you don’t have anything in the sides like lights or extended charging handles. I would say 3 would be safest. I cut it really close for space with my layout
This is the only video on UA-cam going over the 1740
Hey brother what's on the bottom of your mags?
they are called ranger plates, they go on pmags and make it very easy to pull out of mag pouches or vests
You should've tried flex seal. Great video !!
tyler pruneda it crosses my mind! But it’s about $12 a can
4MR Ranch they're bigger and go a long way. Plus it comes out a lot thinker so no need for multiple layers.
I think case Club has better cases but they're too expensive
Hei，I get cheaper case and for the Everest case company.
Nut
need
can 6 50cal can fit in this? lol
$300?! This case on Amazon 6 years later...$526 Inflation sucks.
Yeah no way I’d pay $526
Crying cause it’s now $500 with foam lol
Everything’s going up🤦🏻♂️
Pick and pluck is garbage.... get Kaizen foam for it
How is this a diy case? He bought a case and cut the foam. That's all he did!
$300 😂 Thanks Biden.
Cool
