The interior is custom-molded for a rifle and includes several small rectangular foam pads to protect the contents. A blue rectangular plaque mounted inside the upper lid is embossed with the Flambeau and Zerust logos and reads verbatim Flambeau Exclusive THIS PLAQUE CONTAINS PATENTED ZERUST RUST AND CORROSION INHIBITOR.
