Does anyone make or sell rigid cases for mags? I am sure I could piece one together but figured I would ask.

Walmart sometimes has fairly nice cases for not much cost.

I did buy a Plano pistol case from Walmart, but Hook and I both have this:

but if that's too big for what you have in mind, there's this too:

Someone needs to come up with padding that is changeable. I have a couple of markers that I have changed the set up on and now the tear away padding doesnt match up.

Both the 2nd and 3rd links are helpful but are the same. ;)

This is probably what Zondo wanted to post. First page shows the large case suitable for two markers and page 5 shows the smaller case. Rondo Music now sells the smaller cases in digi-camo.

You can also get a hard case with tear-away foam from Harbor Freight cheaper than the music place: http://www.harborfreight.com/18-inch-x-12-3-4-quarter-inch-x-6-inch-aluminum-case-39196.html

That's what I use. Though, like OPBN, now that I've changed my marker the tear-away foam doesn't work right. I'm going to get some layers of closed-cell foam (yoga mat, camping bed roll, etc.) and cut my own shapes.

I found a foam sheet in the automotive section that is supposed to be for padding when you are under a car. It was like $10 and gave me enough to make 3 layers of padding. It's a pain to cut properly though. You'll go through about 10 razor blades.

I like that HF case though, nice partitions. MIght work really well for a barrel case.

Depending on the type of foam, you might want to cut it with a heat knife. I think that's what they're called. They actually melt more than they cut, but it makes a cleaner line.

Never thought about that. Stuff I found is pretty dense.

I have an old hard brief case that I put some of that bed top padding in to cushion the marker.
