arfcom takedown soft case

Recommended Posts

https://store.ar15.com/product.html?cat=24&pr=572

 

quick review.  wife gave me an early christmas present.  

 

so due to home storage issues, i am not able to store my AR upper attached to the lower.  i have a safe that will not easily fit both along with all my other stuff.  so until i get a nicer place, the lower is getting stored alone.  i figured it would be a good idea to get a "takedown" style ar case since the upper can stay there (ill leave it in one of those silicone infused gun socks.)  i found the arfcom takedown case and for the price figured i'd give it a try.  it seems to fit everything perfectly.  i wish it had a pocket on the outside but it doesn't.  it also doesn't come with shoulder straps so i figure i'll get a real cheap rifle sling to use and that way i can have a backup sling if need be.  there is a ton of padding on both top and bottom sides.  the materials are a little cheap compared to some of the other stuff i have like tactical tailor gun rugs, but i think it should hold up well for the limited things i'll do with it (to and from the range).  overall i give it a B/B+.

there is also a 2"x4" velcro patch on one of the outsides.  i'll have to get a patch for it but for now, multi cam flag

Can someone post other brands of a style like this? I'm in the market for a bag. I never even thought about a takedown type. Is there enough flexibility with the strap downs that the position of the red dot can be anywhere?

 

What I really Ike about this ideais that the bag doesn't become a burden. I was reading a review of the Blackhawks bags on sale and some guys had regrets about a 44 inch bag for their AR, just too big.

 

So is like this bag the lower end of price?

it is the lower end of the price range from what i can tell.  there is the larue that goes for over a hundred and another that just came out thats a backpack and over 300.  

 

you can put the velcro just about anywhere.  there are three strips and every 2 inches along those strips you can loop the velcro through

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
