Gun owners know of the importance of properly securing and storing their firearms. Storing your gun in its case is one way to keep it safe and secure. You can opt for a lockable hard-shell case, this is a choice for hassle free transporting firearm however a one size fits all hard plastic case does not always properly secure your firearm, a foam insert cut to the size of the your specific firearm is the preferred solution. In this article you will learn how to create your own custom foam inserts at home.

Where to Start?

You can start by getting a proper case for your gun and its accessories. You can search online or you can visit your local gun dealer to help you in the selection process. We recommend cases from manufacturers such as Pelican Products or Hardigg. When selecting a case, make sure there is enough space and the case allows the foam inserts along with the gun to fit properly. Later you can cut the form inserts to give the desired fitting as per your firearm.

You can purchase the tool foam in various colors and densities to match your desired results when you are designing the layout for the gun case. Moreover, the quality of the foam also matters. Think about purchasing good quality foam which is durable and long lasting, the primary decision criteria should be how often you use your firearm. There are several things which you are supposed to consider when designing a layout like, how often you use it? How often you are travelling with that? If you are going for camps on a regular basis, then water resistance foam will serve you better. You will find different types of tool control foam sheets, which will cater to your individual requirements. Use a high density foam like our 6lb dense sheets if you are planning on regularly removing and inserting your firearm. The cost is higher but it will last much longer, for occasional use a 4lb foam or even the “pick and pluck” foam would likely suffice. 

How to Get the Firm Fit?

You will not get precise results unless you properly prepare and practice your foam cutting, we recommend practicing on scrap foam. After making the outline of your firearm, use an x-acto knife, utility knife, razor blade, or hot knife to make the cuts. You can also purchase a plunge router, which you can use in making form inserts for your tools as well as other items. Please wear proper safety equipment when using the aforementioned tools.

When you will trace the gun and make an outline on the foam, this will be bigger than your actual firearm. You should cut the foam from the inner side of your outline to get a slightly smaller size. This will ensure that your foam will hold the gun properly. (foam cut outs)
