The Pelican 1720 Protector Long Case (Generation 2, No Foam) is a crushproof, dustproof, and watertight protective hard case engineered for airline transit and secure vehicular transport of firearms and sensitive tactical equipment. Built with a solid-wall polypropylene body and an integrated polymer O-ring seal, this case provides an internal volume of 1.75 ft³ (0.05 m³) and is supplied as an unlined, empty shell to accommodate aftermarket rigid closed-cell foam, Kaizen inserts, or custom divider systems. Integrated polyurethane wheels with stainless steel bearings allow for smooth rolling transit across flat surfaces.

Who is the Pelican 1720 Long Case No Foam for?

  • Airline travelers transporting carbines or short-barreled rifles — requires a commercial transit-compliant firearm hard case offering an interior length of exactly 41.80" (106.2 cm) paired with an automatic pressure equalization valve for altitude shifts.
  • Hunters and shooters requiring secure vehicle transit — benefits from an 18.25 lbs (8.28 kg) empty-weight lockable hard case featuring reinforced 0.31" padlock plates that fulfill Australian state transport regulations for Category A, B, and H firearms.
  • Technicians transporting sensitive optics and field gear — relies on an IP67 submersion-rated protective enclosure capable of withstanding 1 metre of water depth for up to 30 minutes in field operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to 98.9°C.

Less suitable for: Firearms and equipment measuring over 41.8 inches (106.2 cm) in overall length, such as full-length bolt-action hunting rifles with 24"+ barrels or attached suppressors, which require a longer hard case exceeding 50 inches in internal length.
