This is what I did. You take photos of your stuff. Much easier. Cannot find my old outlines but no need with this.

My inner German would not be denied. I downloaded the app, uploaded pics, arranged my items and placed an order in less than an hour. Pics when it shows up.

Hand cutting foam with an electric knife was never good enough to satisfy this German. Case builder works so much better.

Has anyone seen any Blaser stock or barrel shapes on Case builder? I haven't found any sites with template items for them.

I tried MyCaseBuilder several years ago and wasn’t happy with the support. I was really left on my own to make the drawings.

The Gun Foam place that @Challer recommended was simple. Take good pictures. Upload them. Choose a case and add them to make your own foam.

Plus it’s just easier when there are so many options when it comes to barrels. Length, contour, sights, some want the scope mounted or even a suppressor. I was done and checked out in less than an hour. Not to mention all the different kinds of stocks.

Pro tip - make sure you are signed in so you don’t loose what you’ve done.

Gun Foam Update - was contacted via email to confirm my order and have a last chance to make any changes. Good thing because I screwed up the depth of one of the pockets.

They also asked what Pelican 1700 case I have. For those that don’t know the older version of the 1700 case has a fixed handle at the center with a folding handle opposite the wheels. The newer one has three handles and all of them fold flat. I’m not sure if there are any internal differences.

I like my Negrini cases for range work but they shouldn't get anywhere near an airplane unless you’re chartering. Pelican or aluminum are much better choices. Aluminum cases IMO are best but scarce these days. Pelican with custom foam is the current king of the hill.

Just flew with Qatar Airways from Australia to Almaty and back with my Sauer 404 in the Sauer 404 Negrini case with no issues. Custom made canvas cover for it also. Three sheets of 14oz canvas and has two towels sown in all the way around it.

Lighter , smaller and no one knows you have a firearm. At camp they all asked where is your rifle hahaha no one thought it was in this tiny box.
