The picture shows the rifles "recessed" having been cut perfectly for that specific rifle. How is a professional looking cut out accomplished?

Custom cutouts are done w/ a computer. The best you can do, with a solid piece of foam, is to lay the gun in its position in the case & trace it w/ a thin marker. Then cut the foam out w/ an x-acto knife. Cut it a tad smaller so it is a snug fit. With pick-n-pluck foam just remove the foam cubes inside the marker outline. If you make sure the fit is tight you will be fine.

You could cut it with an exacto knife or something similar. The "pluck foam" is little squares .5 inch x .5 inch or so, so you won't get that "perfect" fit, shaped to the gun, but it is still a good snug fit.

The pull out foam blocks are pretty close. If you want absolute perfect this is not the case. However, I like it just fine. It's my favorite case

If you have a really sharp knife you can cut it to the contours of the weapon. But the way it is really done, you have to pluck the foam out the way you want. Hope it helps.

The case is delivered with "pluck foam" which allows you to remove foam in pieces about 1/2" square. As such, you won't be getting the exact fit shown in the picture. However, Plano has solid foam inserts available that allow for precise cutouts. If that is important to you, contact Plano customer service and they will fix you up. Plenty of info on YouTube on how to do it also.

I used the same electric knife that I used for cutting up the turkey last month. start with an exacto knife for the first incision.

You probably could take a hacksaw and cut off about 6" below where the tubes are seamed together. Or just have a metal fabricator make you one showing the picture.

The only way I think you could do that is if you put a sacrificial piece of wood mounted to the piece to screw to the head stock and then cut it off. I would not recommend that though. Best to use the right tools, you always get better results. BTW, this is a great little lathe, I've used it for over a year now. No issues. First one shipped damaged, no issue with the return and shipment of another.

I had to use a dremmel and cut it out a little wider, I did not have the UTG you have actually it's been so long I forgot which kind I have , but it wasn't a problem cutting it but you have to use a dremmel tool, it's tough plastic..worked great

Yes, that's how the gasses are vented up and to the sides (there are three of those "cut outs") which is how felt recoil and muzzle rise are reduced.

They have indents on the backside of the BedRug to indicate where to make the cuts. I just used a box cutter which did the trick nicely.

The rifle has slots to mount a scope. I find it harder to load when a scope is attached.

I didn't have to cut mine but by the material that it is made of a simple hacksaw should be able to cut it. It should be simple enough to modify if needed. Hope it does the job for you.

I also cut them off using a jig saw. The plastic is thick enough and you could easily cut it with a hacksaw.

Yes the one I have was a later model I had to trim with a knife were the ejector for the blot on the left side holding it as your going to shoot it . There is a flat spring like I had to trim a little for the bolt to eject the brass. Other than that all fits good . And it shoots great. I don't get the kick in my arm like with the wood stock. Great worth the money. Steve

you could cut the ported piece off just past the redirect threads and do away with muzzle brake end. looks like the makings for a silencer. looks real good on a Ruger 22-45 MKIII with threaded barrel

I didn't remove it as I did not want to re-sight my rifle. However it looks like my M&P; 15 which I have changed out for a night sight post. Thanks

I had cut my L4 in half and made two rasils out of it and drilled holes in it to correspond to molunting screw holes on top of reciever ot my Ruger Mark I pistol . They are very easy to drill just measure the distance of the holes for mounting screws where attaching to the gun use one of predrilled holes for measure ment point and then bevel out the small hole a little with an oversise drill bit to counter sink the screw a little bit to allow the screw to rerach threads of mount area.A fine tooth hax saw will cut the length of rail for best results .

Hey Eric K, the finish is exactly the same as my AR, I have a Spike's lower. I am very pleased with the outcome and I am a former Marine infantryman. It was inexpensive I recommend it it will do the job. Good luck

Foam was not pre-cut in case I received.I used a Sharpie to outline the 2 rifles I had & then cut out with a razor knife - worked great for my needs.

I do cut mine out. It will look much better if you do. You just have to cut around the image. It doesnt have to be exact.
