This is video # 3 in the series. In this video, we are fitting an AR10 with accessories into a gun case. Video shows universal tips and techniques for cutting foam inserts for gun cases, camera cases etc.
I recommend flipping the foam in a way that when you close and carry the case by it’s handle, the scope is on top and not at the bottom. Good job, nonetheless.
Cutting the template from poster board is the perfect way to do it. But rather than cutting a positive, cut a negative. This way any overruns or mistakes are in the part of the foam you are taking away. And this also ensures that you get an exact tight fit, as cutting on the outside can lead to cutting away from the line and compromising fit. One more thing … it a LOT easier to use a light mist of spray adhesive on the cardboard instead of adding all those pesky pins.
That was good but I rather out line the parts on top of the foam with kids chalk and then spray the foam with plastic dip. And then cut it out with a electric knife.
