Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms will fit in the Plano AW2 42" case?
The Plano AW2 42" case is designed to accommodate rifles and shotguns with an overall length of up to approximately 42 inches. This makes it suitable for most standard hunting rifles, pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, and many AR-style rifles with the stock folded or collapsed. Always measure your firearm's overall length before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
Is this case approved for checking firearms on commercial airlines?
Yes. The Plano AW2 case features dual-stage lockable latches that meet TSA requirements for checked firearm cases, and the built-in pressure release valve automatically equalizes cabin pressure changes during flight — a critical safety feature that prevents the latches from warping or the case from becoming difficult to open. Always check with your specific airline for their firearm transport policies before flying.
How does the pluck-to-fit foam work, and can I replace it?
The pre-perforated pluck-to-fit foam inside the AW2 case is scored in a grid pattern, allowing you to remove individual foam cubes by hand to create a custom cavity that matches the exact profile of your firearm and accessories. No cutting tools are required. If you ever need to reconfigure the layout or the foam becomes worn, replacement foam inserts compatible with Plano cases are widely available from sporting goods retailers.
