I have this (28") and a 7.5" barrel with KAK super tube and BRT comp fits with the weapon at a diagonal with room to spare. It has hold down straps which makes it stay in place. The 10.5" barrel won't fit, so put the second 10.5" upper in the outside pocket. Cuts down on the number of cases needed going to the range.
Outside pocket has 3 mag pouches that I only put spare batteries in since the second upper fills that pocket. |

I got a slanzenger (sp?) brand tennis racket bag. Fits my 26" oal perfectly. I got it for 20$ But unfortunatly doesn't have any outside zipper pockets for spare mags but I can stuff my pistol with .30 cal clip inserted into the bag
26" doesn't include sig brace. Bag holds like a 30" firearm |

My new buffer tube should be in today and if im under 28" still, thats what im gonna get. my only thought is that there are no hold down straps and the gun may print, soooooooo some cheap hobby store foam and a cut job looks to be in order! |

29" rifle case
I have this one. Tough zippers and handles. No straps inside though. You could put 2 10.5" guns in it |

i have a blow molded tool box that fits my 10.5 good, but you
have to break the gun down; it's ok, i'm more of a greyman than rambo |

Here's the case I have for my AR pistol (10.5") US PEACEKEEPER MRAT CASE
DO LIKE ^ I have the Wilson racquet bag from Wally for an M85 PAP (AK Pistol) which won't fit a 10.5" AR, pretty sure. Yes, that's a spare barrel bag. I have two, and the Yugo M85 PAP and AMD-65 both fit in it, the AMD fits absolutely perfectly. Also, the zippered pockets fit 30rd mags (7.62x30 or the 5.56 M85 mags). There aren't many good options. The Blackhawk racquet case would be perfect, just add a logo. I couldn't find any good-length bags. Most of the 'covert' options are for from low key. Even the PeaceKeeper case I use might raise eye brows. An idea: get a shitty, cheap quitar case. Rough it up a bit. Throw some shitty stickers on it. Dress like a punk or bum, if say escaping a city. Who wants a shitty $150 guitar? (many would assume) |

I have this case in blue and my 10.5" with a Troy Claymore and SB15 fits nicely with little movement. The thick padding protects the gun. The case is short enough so people don't think it contains a gun. There are two pockets for 30 rnd mags. The mag pockets do not have straps so I added straps with velcro straps and shoe glue. Now the mags stay in place.

I have an Ace case for mine. It is a tight fit, but it works for me. I like that they are made in the USA, and reasonably priced.

No foam. With a mag it fits nice and snug and there is some light padding on the sides. |

I know you are looking between 28"-30", but you might want to consider this. It's 32" w/ large pockets, enough room for magazine, ammos, tools, ear protection, etc...

Did you buy just the case or the whole package? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Just the case. I bought a separate AR that fits it just fine. It's really slick. It is very discrete. My wife doesn't even know what's in the case. |

Pelican is the way to go man! View Quote View Quote I end up putting firearms in Pelican cases on the roof rack when necessary so people can fit in the cab. They are great to keep the dust and moisture out of the weapons. When I get to the destination and if in a hotel or rented home, it gets locked up to something so it doesn't walk off. A bit of a travel vault. Not needed when just going to the range for sure. More than likely doesn't meet the original OP requirements either. |

I just picked up a 18" aluminum case from HF for $20 that has a removable pluck foam insert. Breaking down a 7.5" upper with F3 optics and KAK super tube lower, it just fits.
Need to find another piece of 1" thick foam to fill in the gap. I'll post up a pic once I get it completed. |

Thanks. Tip to tail, my pistol AR (with Sig brace) in its current configuration (still deciding on muzzle device) is 28" long. Do you think that would fit while still zipping up easily?

Though angling may not make much difference given the size of the sig brace. It will fit at 28" horizontally and you should be able to zip it up normally. At 28.5" you might need to cant the weapon slightly although it might be a relatively tight fit. You should still be able to close it since the zipper is very flexible. At one point i had a 16" upper w/ optic inside my case along with the SBR pictured above and I could still zip it closed. |

7.5" 300blk just fits in this small discrete case from HF. Picked it up for $20 with their 20% off coupon and added some more foam below the pick'n pluck foam that came with the case. The egg crate foam on the top came with the case as well. Have to break it down, but I think a SB15 might fit on the lower and still fit in this case. The case walls have a layer of high density foam that you can see in the last pic. The weapon is well protected in this case. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3930/15410954506_6a5a15041f_b.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3933/15430817181_94de846946_b.jpg https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2947/15434018865_860470636a_b.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3928/15247470477_f39b8b58e1_b.jpg View Quote That is cool. |

The Wilson bag from WallyWorld will take a 10.5" AR pistol just fine. For instance, one built with a with a 10.5 upper, Spike's pistol buffer tube, crutch tip and an A2 hider. If you added a longer flash hider it probably wouldn't make it. Not bad for fifteen bucks.
Also look at soft ukulele cases. They come in basic black, as well as paisley and floral. Although you might attract the wrong kind of attention with a floral ukulele bag. A plain tool bag or crappy gym bag will work if you don't mind breaking down the pistol. And nobody wants your stinky socks. |
