Hi Gents, over the weekend I received my Castle Rock Discreet
breakdown bag. I was looking for a small footprint, something that
doesn’t scream weapon, could be used as a hideway mini-weapons cache,
weapons BOB or regular range bag.
I’m pretty sure I’ve found in this Castle Rock product.
At $115 its not a cheap bag, but I’ve seen more expensive. The Bag comes
with individually detachable backpack straps as well as a velcro/fabric
carry handle. Inside there is a partition that separates the upper from the
lower. There are pockets for 6 AR magazines, two large velcro pockets and
nylon tie down straps to secure the upper/lower receivers. The straps actually
use plastic pressure snaps that make securing and removing easy.
It turns out that the color I picked is a virtual dead ringer for foilage green.
They are available in a variety of colors, many more “urban discreet”.
So here are some pics…
here with a carbine for scale
Lets see how much it can hold…
Quite a bit!.. Still with room to spare…
and empty…
I was able to fit
Colt M4 carbine, 6 P-mags, 200 rnds .223 ammo, Glock G19wTlr-1, 100 rnds
9mm,4 G19 mags, surefire G2Z flashlight, K-BAR knife, pelican 12 CR123 battery pak, folding knife, weaponshield clp, lula loader, with room for more.
In ending I knew it was mission accomplished when my friend saw the bag
and said " There’s no way you’ve got an M4 in that!".
If anyones looking for a discreet bag I definetely recommend this product.

Very well made. The straps inside might even be overbuilt… they are burly. Obviously it would be ez to critique the thing so personally mission specific that it wouldn’t be versatile enough to be marketable, so being reasonable the only thing things I would change would be to be able to adjust straps buckles on “both” sides so buckles could be placed not at bottom of bag (difficult to reach…very minor gripe) and change the interior color to something lighter in color as its difficult to see in there in low light. Otherwise the bag is outstanding! I’ve personally met the designer and owner of Castlerock Tactical and seems like a really good guy. Made in America too!
I still don’t understand getting discreet cases in Mil/Tacticool colors. If the pink version of this bag would have been in stock that is what I would have gotten… Hmmm, fuchsia wood be nice too:p
I’m on the fence… Should I order a red or royal blue? Both would work well in fire/ems vehicles and factilities. Might be just a little loud for out and about, depending on the exact hue in sunlight.
I would go Royal Blue (I did;)) or Navy. The Royal Blue looks like many industrial bags and the Navy is non-tacticool and very understated. I tell people mine is a baby diaper changing station:p
These look great. They appear to be about the same size as the old Graco Pack 'N Play portable baby playpen we carried everywhere with us. You could tell people the original carry case broke and you bought a better made one.
