Ladies and Gents,
Let's see your DISCREET SBR cases. Interested in cases that don't look like gun cases, what is everyone using? Give a little bit of info on the gun too! |
|
I've seen tennis racket covers, hockey bags, and even musician stand bags. |
|
Head to your local sporting goods store and browse their baseball bat, tennis racket, golf club, etc. sports bags.

Noveske rifle bag. Fits just fine. I also use an Oakley school bag that's durable and can fit 2 sbr's if I break them down to upper and lower halves. The backpack is split in two, so one in each compartment while still being "slim" |
|
I just purchased one of these for my pending form 1 and it seems to be very well built.

Quoted: Large Ukulele case is my fav. Don't have to take the SBR a part to fit. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b189/jimmyheadgear/DSC_5999_zps13eeea74.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b189/jimmyheadgear/AAC%20SBR_zpsuufqqexw.jpg View Quote That's almost large enough to fit a 14.5" pinned rifle. |

It will fit if you take out a little foam at the top of the case. |

if youre willing to break the rifle down into uppper, lower and suppressor (if you have one) you can fit into just about anything. I personally just put mine in a pelican case with no gun related stickers or logos. Pelican doesnt just make gun cases, people use them for transporting and expensive and fragile equipment such as electronics, laboratory sample, art work, etc...

sneaky bag is kinda neat, but maybe at HALF the price that's listed at, holy crap

I chuckle every time I read through this type of thread...because I can't remember the last time I've seen anybody carry a tennis racquet bag anywhere in public.

I have the eberlestock cherry bomb
I really like it but it gets tight when you try to pack anything in there in conjunction with your sbr. cant even fit a Gatorade bottle in there... that's my only bitch about it... that and I could use a little webbing on the exterior... for the water bottle... that's my only bitch... and that it's expensive... but that's my only http://www.eberlestock.com/Cherry%20Bomb%20and%20Secret%20Weapon.html |

View Quote Yeah, most of us don't live in a retirement/uppity community where you might walk to tennis. Now if it's just to hide in plain sight in the trunk of your car or back and forth from the house to the car, that's another story. |

No pics, but the Sneaky Trick or Treat bags are awesome. They are courier bags designed to hold SBR, mags and gear. They come in several sizes. Very discrete and well designed/made.

I will never understand the appeal of buying a dedicated "concealed rifle" case from Noveske or others, for like $150+, when they still pretty much look like gun cases to anyone in the know, and an Umbro gym bag or Jansport backpack are like $20 at Walmart.

View Quote Sure, maybe to "people in the know". That represents a very small pool of people in the population. The majority of sheeple out there are oblivious enough to their surroundings that they wouldn't take any extra notice of an actual rifle case, much less a "discreet" case. Personally I prefer to have rifle, mags and some extras secured firmly, yet accessible inside of a purpose built bag. To each his own though. |

I'm sure that certain people see my 5.11 backpack and assume I have a gun in it. Sometimes I do.
On the same side of the coin, the people who recognize it I'm not worried about. |

Hiding a rifle in plain sight works better than we all realize.
I'm hyper-aware of my surroundings, constantly watching people, looking at everything, etc. I was waiting in line at the bank one day, and had been there for about 10 minutes before I noticed the guy directly in front of me in line was open carrying a Glock. He was a plain clothes detective with his badge to his front where I couldn't see it. That was 6 years ago, and to this day I can't believe I missed that for 10 minutes. If I can miss something like that, you could probably walk through a crowded Walmart with an FAL strapped to your back and 80% of people wouldn't even see it right in front of their eyes. So I guess my point is that as long as it's not a multicam case with exposed magazine pouches...anything will work. |

A short AR with silencer mounted and loaded mag inserted fits inside most of the non-gun bags mentioned above and is plenty secure for carrying it around on your back. |

I drive mine around in a Toyota Prius. Does that count as a discrete case? It would fit right in at a Brady event.

I have used tennis racket bags, guitar (music) cases, then one day at a pawn shop I realized two things; 1. these bags, cases tell muggers, junkies, thieves you probably aren't armed. 2. they also imply you have some expensive musical instruments or sports gear, both of which are easily pawned and hard to trace.
Now I carry my rifles in Pelican cases, it screams "don't fuck with me!" because this is obviously a gun and I know how to use it. Pelican cases also have eyelets for locks, so you can literally chain them down in your truck or car. If you don't believe me, go to a pawn shop and see just how many musical instruments and sports gear they have for sale. |

The only thing that I don't understand about this is that I have seen many people in FL ask about these bags, but at least in FL, even with a CCW it is illegal to conceal carry an SBR.
