Discreet rifle bag

As an FYI, a manduka yoga may bag for an extra tall mat, will hold a 16" barreled AR w optic, and a collapsible stock, if you put the stock to its smallest setting.

And still leave another pouch for mags, etc.

I haven't gotten one, yet, specifically for that, and I will need to block the "vent holes", but it's rather discreet- I think about as queries as you can get.

I've got a second-hand bass guitar case that I've been meaning to gut & replace the interior with egg-crate foam for discrete long-arm carry. I've also got a rifle case that I've plastered with various band stickers so that at first glance it looks like an instrument case of some sort. The yoga bag I think will be even more discrete.

I found a trombone or something case at Goodwill. It will easily carry 2 scoped rifles once I get proper padding.

Very discreet and it has wheels on one end.

Super awesome. The wife saw it and suggested its new use.

Yeah, I was going to suggest a trombone soft case (gig bag) or guitar case.

Just don't use a fishing rod bag. It seems to scream "gun" to everyone that sees it. I've raised more suspicions when I carried that (I was even asked straight out what I had in it on a bus once, it caused that much alarm) then when I've had an actual rifle bag with me.

I've probably said this before, but if you have to fly with a hard-sided rifle case, put a few guitar / muso stickers on it - the baggage handlers are much less likely to stomp on it for fun than if they think it's a firearm.

Pelican case with "Solar/Caterpillar Turbines" stickers on it. Some "Halliburton" stickers wouldn't hurt either.

This works well along the GoM.

Kel-Tec Sub-2000 folded up fits into a standard gym bag; wrap it with a few towels, put your spare mags inside rolled-up pairs of socks, and you can walk nearly anywhere with a scoped long gun without suspicion.

I've been hoping to find a baseball bag big enough to hold an M1 carbine without disassembly, but I think there's no such thing.

Put a paratrooper folding stock on that M-1, and it'll fit a baseball bag with ease.

And you get Band Of Brothers style points.
