This is a great idea, except it doesn't work well at all. It's hard to close the case after inserting the grid. My rifles with wider scopes such as a vortex razor or nightforce atacr wont fit. The case simply won't close with these types of equipment.
Anyone saying it won't close, if you have this or a similar case, the top has a few layers of foam. Take the thinnest one out. Everything is still tight, but the case will close fine. I fit 2 rifles in 1 case, both with huge optics. They fit fine.
Nice system, if the price is descent, I think I will get set to see how well it works. It would sure be nice to be able to not have to buy a new case every time you add to the collection. That would have to save $. Again, depends how much they cost.
My setup is basically the same as you demonstrated. However, the case (V730) is difficult to close, specifically difficult to latch. It's almost as if the lower large grid is slightly too wide. I can get it to close, it takes a lot of effort, and having two people definitely helps. Any suggestions?
I have a mix of free floating and braced blocks and I have found that after a couple of days that it does get easier to close. I will likely change to all braced after watching this video. Also, I have an extended latch on my AR charging handle and I find that by cutting (ie removing) two of the bottom grid squares allows my to better seat the rifle in the case so that the extended latch has plenty of free-board on the bottom. Overall I really like the DAKA Grid Organizer system. I have employed it for my Pelican 780 and 730 cases.
I think if the little square plugs were round, this would be a better idea. On a lot of spots of guns, there won’t be perfectly square spots for one to be resting against. A round one would compress easier and it wouldn’t matter where it’s touching because it’s round. The square will have corners taking more contact than the rest of the square.
I sent them an email and they said they are making the pelican 1720/1750 next but no plans for the storm. I have the 3100/3300 and want them to make the same thing. I think the Vault pieces are closer to the storm case if they just remove one row, I don’t know if it’s something that can be cut but they aren’t making anything soon.
Being afraid of a 36" drop damaging an optic doesn't make the case sound very protective. A good optic should be able to take a hit like that on its own.
That's not at all what he said. He said don't pack your red dot against the case wall, leave a gap so the optic can free float so that on a 3 foot drop or higher it cannot contact the case wall.
@@justinparker7196 Annnddd what would the concern be for hitting the case wall? Damaging the case? Affecting the red dot? Either way its not a positive selling point. Learn to listen for context clues buddy.
If the price is good then I’ll grab one but if not I see zero issue with my foam case now guns are tools they get bumps and scratches eventually anyways still a cool idea for people who enjoy a more organized case I suppose
Y’all really need to make this a 2 layer system
You can if you buy two sets and toss the foam pad it comes with
@@jakewyatt7013 2 sets?! Do you know how much it cost? It’s $170 that’s outrageous and buy 2 is ridiculous
@@SolFireYT $340 to protect your gear is ridiculous? Tell me you have a Diamondback with iron sights without saying it. Hi Point on your hip?
I can definitely see there being aftermarket/3rd party inserts.

As much as I am a magpul fanboy, this ain’t it chief…
Yeah, i would be considered a fanboy...and im not impressed at all.

I'd start with a robust upper body regiment to help you close that case.
@@KinoTechUSA69 🤣🤣
I was excited and onboard until I saw the price. It costs as much as a decent case!
I predict that Magpul will make a DGO case for handguns.
Looking forward to it!

Can you guys make one for the Pelican Storm im3300?

Love it!
The product is massively overpriced. $60 for plastic? Sure. $160 insert for a pelican case? I'll wait for a Chinese knock off.
future wall mount? back right corner of video?

Why not make single, 1x1 blocks to fill in the small gaps?
They have more coming but it seems main structure needs to touch the case wall
What about rifles above 7lb? Heard you make not of the rifle being 7lb or under, what about over?
Doesn't make a difference. A heavier rifle or one with sharp points will hurt the Styrofoam quicker though.
Legos for my guns!
I can't for the life of me get the 730 to close without fighting it ..
Bring back OD green pmags
Bring back the ACR stock ffs
V700????
Gun Tetris
Too much wasted room in the case, I've heard people having trouble closing with thicc scopes and 10 o'clock mounted flashlights...
Im a huge Magpul fan but this looks like hot garbage. Expensive, hot garbage.
Magpul...the new Tupperware.
You guys used to be cool but now your just a case makers. Such a shame
Yeah they just make cases. Nothing else.
And sunglasses- don't forget the sunglasses
