Gun and gear reviews Legendary marketplace pull
Brand new with foam picked it up for $150 - now I need to find a way to make it more modular or somehow stack guns..

Thats mine 99% of the time but it’s always when I’m not looking a deal pops up. It was a fairly young girl selling like 10 gun cases, I noticed the pelican logo and sent her an e-transfer right away lol

It’s an Arken EP5 - I have their EP8 on my spooky gun and I really like their products!

No way a pelican case of that cost comes with pluck foam...
Do yourself a favor. Run a consistent line of glue alone the 2 outlines of foam shaped to your rifle. My work has pluck foam pelican cases for dial indicators and stuff and they've gone from plucked to the shape of the instrument to big padded boxes because all the foam works it's self free when the object impacts them
Or better yet buy a solid foam insert and cut out the rifle with a hot knife

I’ve seen people spray them with something and it hardens the foam, but I am definitely replacing it with a solid insert!
I think the case is deep enough I can actually do 2 layers of guns so I want to rig something up where I can easily lift the top layer.

That's pretty solid too, spray adhesive works well. I definitely prefer the solid foam, my Nanuk case came with straight foam so I cut out my rifle, some mags, bipod, and sling spots and she's been mint
If you can do 2 layers of guns that would be absolutely awesome, my Nanuk case came with the thinck foam to cut but also a maybe 7/16" top foam which would work well as a divider if it were deep enough

Any recs for where to buy the foam? I have a pelican that could fit two long guns but zero foam currently.

A few years ago two of my coworkers were driving back to the shop one day and saw 3 of those pelican cases on the curb with a free sign. Of course they grabbed them.
They were empty but boy was I still jealous.

Who is paying over $1000 for those ever?

u/So_Sorry_EH May 01 '26
I believe the 1770 was designed to transport longer military guns so big government contracts

I need to find better seller and seller groups. People were selling really used beat up gear for maybe 10 bucks off. Some items pretty much at retail…happy for you!
