I'm looking for a discreet M4 case that will conceal an M4 styled rifle with the upper/lower broken down and a few mags.  I've seen a few discreet cases but they are $100+ dollars.  

Is there something out there (even if not designed specifically for it), significantly cheaper, that would accomplish the job?  It need not be "battle hardened."

Thanks-

Need it soft b/c it will be stored with other items that wouldn't work with hard edges, something like a big laptop bag or knapsack-a soft instrument case?  I may just need to roam around Wallmart

I've seen a few people here post pics of them throwing the guns in a tennis case or a baseball gear case.

One of those standard smaller sports bags would work with extra stuff in it as well.

Hmmm maybe I'll go to sports authority.  Thanks guys-

This is what I use. Perfect size.

I also have a Larue covert. Great bag, but more money.

Here is something that "might" work.  It looks like it might be a little short for a 16" upper.

Check out this cool bag

That's pretty cool.  Do you have any pics of your actual setup?

From the looks of it, you could fit damn near everything you'd need for a range trip in there.

Ask and ye shall recieve. Not the best pics, but they give you an idea of the bag.
First the carbine it houses, 14.5 with permed MB next to the case.


Eotech in one of the covered side pockets.


Gun broken down in case, might be a tight fit for a 16". Notice the sling, mag, and scope do not have to be removed. You can even leave the push pins out. The divider is a big plus.


Carbine in case. You'd never think it was a weapon, right?



Overall a touch bigger than it needs to be, but it serves the purpose. You can get three mags in each outside pocket. The inside has pockets for tools, too small to be used for most gun related gear.

The inside is cavernous, plenty of room for ammo, hearing protection, pretty much what you need for some fun at the range. You could probably fit two broken down ARs in, if you don't care about them banging into each other.

Give me a second...................




Yep, two

Thanks for the pics.  That's an awesome setup, and that case is cheap.

I might seriously have to pick that up.

Yeah but if too many of these are seen at the range, it won't be discreet anymore.

Seriously, I think it's a no brainer. If you don't like it, use it for tools.

Thanks, Just ordered one of these.

There goes my discreet case. Don't too many guys get 'em!

Maybe Mark Larue sends me a covert case and I take the pics down.

Kidding aside, this is a nice bag, but if you want something with more protection and less bulk, the Larue is the best.
Wish I could afford one for all my ARs.


ETA- Guys, I forgot to mention my shoulder strap broke on the first day of use. (the bucket boss, not the Larue)  No big deal for me, but others may care. I just use the handles
FWIW I use another model for my tools, and the strap has been fine.

You can get it for a few bucks less from Amazon (free shipping), but Coastal Tools has a great special going on a smaller gatemouth bag and a bucket organizer for $10.

80sgyrene,
How long is your upper? The inside dimension of the bag is given as 24" and my 16" upper measures 25" overall. I really like this idea and will probably buy one to try anyway.  I would just feel better knowing everything will fit before I lay down my hard earned ca$h.

I just bought and recieved one of these.  My 16" upper (25" overall) fits with no problems.  The sides are soft and there's plenty of extra room.  Buy with confidence.  It'll fit just fine.

Thanks. Got one inbound!
