Re: Getting a custom gun case made
Just buy the foam and cut out the space you need. And of course by the empty case :P

As above.
Buy some foam sheets and use a sharp knife to cut the shapes out.

Re: Getting a custom gun case made
Alternatively, get the case, line it (shallow) top and bottom with foam sheets then get some 'pick-foam'. Hey-presto! A case which will make you the envy of all who see it.
For 'pick-foam' see here:

Re: Getting a custom gun case made
I bought a set of pick foam from somewhere a while ago. It came with a few layers of plain foam for tops/bottoms, as well as the pick layers.
Wish I could remember where now...
Edit: Found it

Re: Getting a custom gun case made
You know what else works well.... A laser cutter. Mark out the outline of the gun in your favorite CAD program, then laser it onto several foam sheets of suitable thickness. Chuck the layers together in a case. Custom and yet professional.
Now all you need is a laser cutter :D.
