I don’t see why in the HELL Eagle did not just make this one a couple inches longer, and they would have satisfied a WHOLE LOT more customers with 16" M4’s…
I mean, it would have just been the smart thing to do IMO. To each his own I guess.
I have collapsed my stock to it’s shortest position, and it measures right at 32 1/8".
Now IF anyone here knows for a fact that the above Eagle case will just barely fit my gun, then please let me know.
IF NOT, then I need another case that is similar.
I would PREFER the case to look somewhat like the Eagle, and have it’s own mag pouches, and MOLLE webbing would be another added bonus. A carrying strap would be nice too.
I would also prefer for the case to be tall enough to fit an M4 with a 30 round clip inserted, AS WELL AS a with an optic (Trijicon, Aimpoint, etc) fitted on top.
I have also been looking at Brownells Signature Series M4 case, shown here: http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/productdetail.aspx?p=22166&s=47927
-and this one is not exactly what I’m looking for, but it’s CLOSE.
As I said, I’d really love to find out that the above Eagle will work, or at least find out that someone else is making one almost exactly like the Eagle above…
Thanks for any help guys…
BTW,
I’m not really looking for a hard case at this time, as I really only like the Pelican M4 case, and it’s just a bit pricey at this time…
I have a Black Hawk case that I used to tote my 16" RRA around in it is pretty much exactly like the Eagle on but doesn’t have MOLLE straps. I will send you some pics if you want.
Take a look at the third pic down. Notice how ridiculously that main carry strap is attached?? I’m looking at that case and I can easily see that it won’t hang/carry/transport very comfortably with the strap attached on the side of the case like that! WHAT were they thinking??? Nice case otherwise… Thanks for posting it anyhow! I’m always eager to see new products…
Not particularly. Other than the fact that I just haven’t found one that meets my criteria. If you look, you’ll notice the Brownells case I linked to above, is KIND OF SIMILAR to a “discreet case”, depending on who you ask.
Regardless,
Here are my criteria guys. Very simple really.
Must be sized to fit a Colt M4, Preferably around 36" (DEFINITELY not looking for something TOO LONG, like some of the 46"ers…)
Would also like for it to fit with 30 rd mag installed (along with Trijicon optic up top) I could take the mag out if absolutely necessary.
MOLLE Webbing on exterior/interior. (not a TOTAL dealbreaker, but I’m really wanting this option)
Must have carry strap for throwing over shoulder
Preferably military color choices (OD, BLK, Desert Tan, etc)
Preferably designated mag pouches built in to case (but I could add them with the MOLLE webbing as extra pouches if absolutely needed)
Honestly guys, I’d be happy with the custom sized, LONGER length Eagle case that was mentioned above. That is, as long as the Eagle cases are quality, and do a good job of protecting my rifle. (I’ve never held an Eagle case up close, but I do have other Eagle gear that is all quality made).
Thanks for any help guys. I’m really stumped trying to find something soon. Can’t stand having a rifle for any length of time without a case for it… Don’t want to have to go out and buy a cheapie either.
Has anyone here owned the Brownells M4 case I linked to up above???
That’s one of the two sling position options for the case. There is another set of d-rings hidden behind the carry straps too. Whether you believe it or not, some folks do like to carry quiver style.
Here’s a photo of an SBR inside a 30" OD case (photo courtesy of Edwin907 from Arfcom):
When the case was still an idea on paper, a lot of folks got their input in and one of those issues we had to correct was the length of the case; most cases are produced an inch to short for their needs. That’s why most M4 cases are 35" long while our is 36".
R.H. How can you say no to that(Besides it’s pretty hard to get a NSN)? As soon as I can save up the $$$ I’ll be getting one of these. It may sound crazy but the “quiver” idea actually shows that ishot cares what the user thinks.
WHOA!
Ok guys, my apologies! I have only seen this case on one website before, and it was not pic’d very well at all!
I fully retract my statement, and now want one of those bad boys!!!
I did not know that OD green was available either! I assume black, tan, and OD are available. Any others?
Not that it matters, as I would be happy with OD, or maybe Blk. Heck, tan ain’t too shabby either!
I have just one more question. What did Raining Brass mean, when he referred to this pack as an “NSN”???
Ok, second question. WHY are these packs hard to get? Are they not in full production right now???
I definitely WANT ONE as soon as I decide on BLK vs OD…
Thanks so much for showing me this pack guys. This is most excellent, and I have YOU guys to thank!!!
Colt 6920, with Vortex, and LMT stock with rubber buttpad. Stock is opened to the 1st position (Just over 34" OAL as shown).
Stock is still in the 1st open position:
I don’t know what model case this is, the outer length is about 37". I’m sure if you contact Eagle and tell them what you need, they’ll set you up with the right one.
NSN stands for National (or NATO) Stock Number (depending on which side of the pond you’re on). I assume that Raining Brass PM you about it in detail. Thanks, RB.
Yes, OD is available and it is a nice color to boot.
Why are the cases hard to come by? Becos’ I have been slacking and not getting off my a-- to produce these fast enough. There has always been a wait between production. My bad. They’re also not easy to produce; right down to the Velcro hoops behind the PALS webbing that keeps the straps in place.
