View Full Version : Seeking a high end case for a broken down 16" AR15: Zero Geo Aluminum 3.0 - 26" Case
UPDATE: I bought the Zero Case...
I want to get a really high end rugged or luxury case for my 16" AR. Upper and Lower will be separated. I want to make a foam cutout at additional expense. There are many rifle cases but not for a broken down Upper and Lower. The inside needs to fit a 16" total barrel length which when considering the full Upper is about 26" or so. I measured the Upper and it will fit in this Zero Case.

I have many cases made by Zero Halliburton. Nothing this big though. I'm tired of lugging my massive Pelican Case that can fit an entire rifle and then some. I also have a collection of Zarges cases.
There are tons of cases out there but nothing for a broken down AR.
This case is on sale for $730. It is normally over $1,000.00. This Geo 3.0 line looks better than the current offerings even though I think it may be discontinued. I think the sale might end tonight.
The case will be used for going to the range while normally this rifle resides in my safe.
I want something special. Even Pelican cases do not come in the right size to hold a 16" Upper when broken down.
I realize this case may be a bit ridiculous to some but I would like to hear everyone's opinion of it or any other high end cases.

SNIP...

You could have had a cabinet maker custom build you a case for that sort of money.
Not at all ridiculous if that is what YOU like and want.
Received the case today.
It looks incredible.
Guess what I'm doing next...

Giant Foam and a Foam Cutter.You really don't want to use that kind of foam.
You really don't want to use that kind of foam.
And the hot knife he linked to won't work either!

Why not?
I have made cushioning before for gun cases. Last time after I shaped the foam, I put a layer of Duct Tape all around it. It worked well.

Don't you think it will be hot enough to melt this foam?
If not I guess I'll have to buy the expensive foam from Pelican.
It's over $100 though.
If the hot knife wont work I'd consider butchering it with a box cutter.
I can get gun socks that can hold the upper and lower if contact with the foam or Duct Tape would be harmful.

You spend a fortune on the case and cheap out on the foam... How much sense does that make?? Give these folks a call if you have any $$$ left after buying the case. https://www.gunfoam.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiA6Y2QBhAtEiwAGHybPQtJ-_eV4nHFgpuDE6hAsmCi82myOO3M0bIJ3D84bfXKNb1_2fbnGxoCDsYQAvD_BwE
I agree with GH41.
A Gucci case deserves nice foam.

That is cheap open cell foam.

Great Link!!!
I'm going to look into this.
Big Brother is watching...
Right before I returned to this thread I saw an ad for this gun foam on google ads.
$1100 for case and foam? If that’s what floats your boat great, I’d rather throw it at optics, ammo or training though personally.
