Thanks! It is pluck foam, but I am not a fan of the Tetris look, so I hand cut it. I gave it a couple coats of Plasti-dip to protect the foam from tears.
So you applied plastidip, cut, then peeled away the dip? Nice.
No, I should have clarified. I did the cuts and then sprayed the foam with Plasti-dip which helps protect the foam from tears as things go in and out. I also used 3m double sided tape to secure the top foam section to the bottom one. some people glue it, but with the pluck foam, I can replace sections, re-spray, and change the configuration if needed.

G.P.S. makes a quality bag... I used one of theirs when I was doing my NRA classes... they take a good beating and barely show any age through the process. You should get a ton of quality usage out of that one!

Thanks. But it does have one issue. I didn't realize inside it is set up to hold pistols in a foam rack. fair enough. Except the two I shoot most are long barreled .22s which don't fit right. Oh well. Darned think has a pocket for almost anything. I think I'll use the old bag as well and put the ammo and tools in that. Keeps this bag organized with that out of it.

Wow, that turned our great! Well done, sir.

I have the exact same rifle. Any good DIY sources you can reference?

Adding to the record a company here in north Jersey that will custom cut foam. No need to be local to the area though, as they do online design and sales. Actually, if you knew what Paterson NJ was like you might shop online even if you were local!

HEADS UP - for those stuck in CA, CA PC 32310 was ruled unconstitutional (high cap mag ban).

Decision : https://michellawyers.com/wp-content...14-Opinion.pdf

Brownells, Botach, Primary Arms taking orders so far. Not sure on others - just happened this morning and I was in meetings all day so I'm catching up.

Article I read said the state may ask for a stay to prevent a surge in purchases. If I lived in CA and could buy now I'd jump in with both feet.

Thanks, didn't know anyone was taking orders yet since they said CA might make a stay and appeal to "en banc" 10 judge panel.

Nice!!

I have one in jail until Wednesday 1:12Pm.

Do you think the safety will rub against a carbon fiber holster? I haven't been able to find one specific to the 365 with MS..

I have a Kydex IWB holster from We The People holsters that they say isn't for MS models but it doesn't hit the lever at all.

I have a new Glock 17 coming my way in 30 days. I guess I'll wait to buy spare mags to see if NJ's ban is lifted.

Picked up a touch of modern finesse to round out the milsurps. Taking out a loan for the ammo now...

No one is selling/shipping standard capacity magazines to California, yet. Or at least they shouldn't be.

The original court-ordered stay, the one issued before this latest ruling, says the mag capacity ban will remain in place until the end of all proceedings. So, if the case keeps going up the appeals ladder, the stay won't be lifted until the Supreme Court rules.

All that is according to this. I'm not a lawyer. You're mileage may vary. Do not taunt happy fun ball.
