I was going to ask milessc2 how you did the inserts to hold the handgun...But it looks like you partitioned them...

Joe used hardwood with cutouts. I'd like something softer. Balsa wood might be an idea but it would have to be a big piece...

The only square interior attache/brief cases I could find are only 17 1/2" long inner width, 13" height. My 'carbine' would have to fit in kitty-corner.

I was thinking of maybe getting some Styrofoam and carving out a cavity to fit the handgun, stock, two magazines, and whatever else might be related. Maybe cover the foam with velvet or felt.

But, as usual I've never done anything like this, and have no idea where to get these supplies.

Anyone dome anything like this??? Carving the foam has me stumped. I tried carving a piece of computer box Styrofoam packing and it doesn't want to carve very well...
