Discreet carry case?

Recommended Posts

I recently acquired a 26" Saiga rifle in a bullpup configuration.  I'm trying to find a discreet carry case that would fit it nicely.  I have seen a few items online from Blackhawk to a bunch of no name companies.  I'm just not sure if my rifle would fit in any of those cases.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on a carry case that doesn't scream "I have a gun in my bag"?

 

I would like to carry the rifle without having to break it down.

Jack, I saw the tennis racket cases that Blackhawk makes and I just wasn't sure about the sizing and space capacity for magazines and such.

 

@High Exposure. I saw that bag and I wondered if it would be kind of obvious only because it is longer than most other backpacks.

 

Just to add to my concern about being discreet is that I live right across the street from a police station. I'm sure that they are familiar with many kinds of bags so I'm just trying to find something that wouldn't call for too much attention.

 

Or am I just over thinking things?

It's a sad fact but most Cops will have no clue what you are carrying unless they are shooters like you. If they are they shooters and recognize the bag, they are more likely to BS about what it is, how you like it, where you got the bag, etc..... than anything else.

 

The 36" CRB looks like a small guitar case, the 30" CRB looks like it should hold a tennis racquet.

 

People see what the expect to see and think of objects they are familiar with. People see you carrying a bag that looks like it should hold a racquet, even if it is 4" too long, they think "tennis player" and forget about it.

 

That CRB is the Cats Pajamas my man. Trust me! I will try to get some photos later for you.

 

ETA: the dimension of the sneaky bag are almost identical to the bag ogfarmer linked, but made to actually hold a carbine and accessories.

I used a couple of Yamaha keyboard carry cases to carry my issued MP5 and M4. If you are carrying around a long case its likely to attract attention. The Yamaha logo on the side seemed to satisfy any interested parties. I carried these on the street when needed and never aroused any attention. The problem with most "discreet" gun cases is they look like "discreet" gun cases. The ones shown by HE in his link look a lot better than most.

    • 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.
