Right, so ive bought this fancy rifle, and i want to get it into a foam hard case, properly protected etc.... My question is, whats the trick with cutting the foam? Ive tried it b4 and made a right mess of it, nice neatly cut fitting lines...

If you don't have a carving knife you might want to to try one of these in a jigsaw:

I helped a friend do this just recently. I gave him a length of resistance wire (purchased from Maplin) and he used it with a jig and a car battery to get a very professional result.
