I’ll have one in the next week or so. What are you guys using for a soft case? I’m going to order a Case Club case for it, but I don’t want to be dragging a hard base around everywhere.

I just went with the case club case. If you find a nice soft case, I'd love to know where!

The Para model fits in pretty much any AR sized soft case.  I don't have anything special for my 249S's.

The width is what I worried about. I haven’t handled one in quite a while and can’t remember how much wider they are than AR.

Thanks.

The width at the widest point (charging handle area) still wasn't an issue.  I've carried mine in two generic AR sized carry bags and the zippers close without needing to stress the bag.

I use a 38 inch Galati Internal double case.  The gun goes in on side, the spare barrels go on some hook and loop on the other.

I bought an airsoft m249 case for about $40. There are about 10 different companies using the same style, material for this case with pricing up to $130...obviously find/buy the $40 one. Google airsoft m249 case, many different colors to choose from with wildly varying prices...but they're all the same.


$130 version:

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

I ended up buying a Savior Equipment American Classic Tactical Double Long Gun and a Pelican 1720 without foam to use for now. I’m traveling for work and this was the easiest solution for the moment that I can fly with. I can use both cases for other rifles and I’ll get a soft case and the Case Club M249S case when I get home.

Keep the suggestions coming.

Savior is high on the lists.  That M249 case looks kind of cool too.
Trying to decide if I want a case for the L6 with can attached or not.  It's approx 40" without and 47" with.  I like to leave cans on when I have a dedicated can for a rifle.  But I guess that's less important with a faux auto.

The best system I have is a 40" soft case I got maybe 20 years ago, called iShot.  I guess they're not around anymore.  My old FRT-Lewis just fit, without can, at 39".  But the soft case fits perfectly in a Pelican rifle case without foam.  Airline travel with the hard case, then at destination you can just use the soft case.  I'm sure there are other soft cases that would work well for this.  I used to have a lot of hard cases but have gotten rid of them over the years.
