Frequently Asked Questions

How can I maximize the number of firearms stored in a Pelican 1740 case?

Maximize storage by cutting the foam vertically instead of horizontally. This allows for higher density packing. Plan your layout across all foam layers to fit multiple rifles, handguns, magazines, and accessories like suppressors.

What is the best way to reinforce custom-cut foam in a gun case?

To prevent pick-and-pluck foam from disintegrating, spray it with Plasti Dip. This creates a durable, rubberized coating that binds the foam blocks together, significantly increasing the case's longevity and protecting your firearms.

What types of firearms can fit in a custom-loaded Pelican 1740 case?

A Pelican 1740 can be customized to hold various firearms, including rifles like the 5.56 AR-15, .308 rifle, or AK-47, plus smaller firearms like a 300 Blackout pistol and up to four handguns, along with magazines and accessories.

Why choose a Pelican 1740 case for DIY firearm storage?

The Pelican 1740 is chosen for its durability, large size, and rolling capability. Its depth is ideal for vertical storage modifications, offering a robust and organized solution that surpasses standard soft cases for transporting multiple firearms.
