:iagree:
I know that part of it is my age, but I still think that young shooters should be proficient with iron sights before being allowed to shoot with optical sights.

BTW, good job on your "guitar case".

I never would have thought about doing this DIY. Pretty cool project.

I am looking forward to the photos of the finished product.

About the settling (and / or lack of cure), if you did this in a cold location, that could have retarded (or even stopped) the curing process. I used to pour manequins for taxidermists and we couldn't pour them below about 55 degrees or so.

Thanks for sharing the project.

Nice! The black color would look less tactical than the coyote.

Interesting project. I don't know much about the Great Stuff urethane, but a quick Google shows that it is prone to settling. It sounds like you will work out your issues. I suggest that you let the plastic cure for several weeks with the case open so you can be assured of a complete cure. Outgassing will occur and you want to make sure the vapors don't damage the finish on your gun.

My question for you is "Do you play the guitar?" It might arouse suspicion from your neighbors if they see you carry this case and find out that do don't play or even own a guitar.
