Ian Bru Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Hello, Currently looking at a hard case for my rifs. Are there any benifits between the foam styles in the title? Pick n Pluck - Wave Foam. Thanks
Enid_Puceflange Posted February 7 Posted February 7 (edited) Pick n pluck will eventually fall apart over time, individual cubes will detach Wave foam over that any day, especially if you intend to use your case to store/transport different replicas Shadow Foam is top teir though Edited February 19 by Enid_Puceflange Lozart, Galvatron, Ian Bru and 1 other 4
GiantKiwi Posted February 7 Posted February 7 If this is in regards to the nuprol cases, their pick n pluck is trash, just get the cheaper wave foam and then if you want to get a cutout shape, go to shadowfoam for it, as that is truly amazing compared to both of nuprols options Lozart 1

ButcherBill Posted February 7 Posted February 7 I got an XL nuprol case with pick n pluck... don't do it. I've recently bought wave foam to replace it.
Chev Chelios Posted February 8 Posted February 8 For anyone so inclined you can get a product from Plastidip that you paint on the pick and pluck and sets it rock sold. Its like a layer of pleather that seals it all together. Never been a fan of shadow foam myself after trying it for tool storage if water gets into the membrane it seems to stay wet forever.

Barry Sayer Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I nearly bought some pick & pluck, glad I didn't ! Wave foam is easy to cut a shape to suit anyway. I just remove my gear, flip it over to fit my larger assault riffle ? Ian Bru 1

MUKY Posted February 14 Posted February 14 I used the Sealey version of shadow foam, get about 3times the size for the same price, £30 for a piece that would do this case three times over with a bit to spare Enid_Puceflange, Barry Sayer, Ian Bru and 1 other 1 3

When I’m gonna change my CAMS about for different RIF’s, I’d like to save money ?

Amazon is just under £30 delivered, although a slightly smaller sheet.
RebelScum Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I've used this company before: https://www.efoam.co.uk/ Look at the Ethafoam in grey; delivery is free. In the notes ask them not to fold the foam, although this stuff is pretty robust and will regain it's shape if creased.

When i worked in art shipping we went through pallets of that stuff, 25 and 50mm in 8x4 sheets, every week. Can't remember the supplier offhand, but it wasn't particularly expensive.
