Your case looks great even though you say it isn't finished!

Thanks! The cutting of the foam was the hard part. The right way to cut through the foam is by making a hot wire cutter. I really didn't feel like taking on a small project to start this foam cutting project so I just used a razor blade. The cuts are just not as clean as they would be with a hot wire cutter. But I can totally live with it.
The reason I say it's not finished is because I still need to glue the piece of foam that I cut out to the solid piece of foam underneath. Then I need to glue the foam risers that are underneath the gun in place. Once everything has dried, coat the foam with a layer of black plastidip. The plastidip gives the foam added durability and prevents it from tearing while pulling the gun in and out.
