So, just in case anybody was wondering, a 16" M4gery WILL fit in a violin case. Came across this recently and a little dim bulb came on over my head. Now I have a discreet carry option for vacations and such. It holds the rifle, four mags, and has room for a small optic, and maybe a light. HA
Second pic was before I trimmed the middle support for better fit. Just need a little foam now. 
Edit- Better? tried searching before post but my non team member search is AFU. Need to remedy that.... soon. |

Sweet! I actually have a 4/4 violin. Had it for a little over 10 years, played violin for almost 9 years. It's just been sitting for a long time, havn't been motivated to pick it up....I need some good ol' bluegrass sheet music.
Anyway, my violin case is pretty strong...I may go try this out for myself 
ETA: Couldn't help myself

Ya' know.... I've always wanted to do that with a guitar case. An assembled M-4gery should fit with no problems... complete with mounted aimpoint. Not a problem. A 20 inch A2 will fit in a the small case in the first picture below. In fact, the 20-inch fits better than a carbine.

I still think that a thief would want to make off with a guitar (case) to sell it.
The perfect conceal case would be a yellow plastic hard case that had a bio hazard sticker and bold print of "WARNING Human Feces Handle With Care. Wash Skin Thoroughly With Soap When Done." Smear some brown paint in a few spots to give that "used" look. |

I built those cases just because I thought it would be a fun project. They get lots of positive comments at the range, and I admit I like opening one up and removing an AR from it. But the guitar case thing has nothing to do with trying to thwart thieves.
Buying the first case was sort of funny. I went into this music shop and the clerk was helping another customer, so I started looking at the cases on my own. I know nothing about guitars, by the way. The other customer left and the clerk asked if he could help. I said I needed a guitar case, and he asked what kind of guitar I had. None, I said; this is for a little project I'm working on. Since I assumed any music shop guy would be a hippie, I was trying to avoid the subject. But he persisted, so I said I was building a rifle case. Silence. Did I bring the rifle with me, he finally asked? No, said I; I didn't think he'd react kindly to that. He said that if I had just carried a rifle through the door, we would have had a gunfight, but if it was in the car, he was fine with me bringing it in as long as he knew what was up. He turned out to be pretty cool and helpful in choosing the right case. |

Anyone use a tennis racket case ? I haven't tried it but i'm thinking that the double cases may be just the ticket. I do! I have a nicely padded tennis racket case i want to say is designed for 4 rackets. Holds the AR without breakdown, with plenty of room left over for the handguns, ammo, mags, cleaning supplies etc.. |

Yeah, there was actually a tennis racket case thread on here a couple of months ago |

Smear some brown paint in a few spots to give that "used" look. Thats to funny... Iv seen red rubbermaid trash cans for that. Add a fake bottom, fill with whatever, and top off with some crustys on the fake bottom........ |
| I use a my electric guitar rectangular hard case and a custom coffin shaped guitar case..they work great and with my playing everyone that lives around me hears the guitar going so no attention drawn when I leave the house with the guitar case with brand log as well one Gibson one Jackson.I like instrumet cases for the rifles carries on the tradition shown with the thompson. |
