Nc Star Discreet Carbine Case

Similar to the LaRue Covert Rifle Case and the Pantec Spec Ops Tactical Gun Case, but at a fraction of the cost (and slightly bigger in dimensions)! In the inside (see photos), it uses molle straps instead of full velcro lining. Only the edge walls have velcro. Comes with a long well padded divider, a short divider, and 4 long velcro straps, and 3 short strap extenders (both ends are loop textured). As another review noted, I wish it came with an extra small divider and maybe 2 extra velcro straps. However you can get a roll of this stuff from a hardware or craft store for cheap. Another personal wish is that the two zippered pocket panels would have been just one large one. I was hoping to throw some targets in these or other large items, but the panels are a little short.Comes with a shoulder strap that hooks to each side of the case rather than the edge. Helps balance the bag better, but the concern is the loop attachments. It's just a little (1-2") sewn on loop holder, rather than a long strip that goes around the bag for added durability. Time will tell how well this holds up.Zipper is fairly solid, but not heavy duty. Has a lock hole when the zippers are together if you need to lock your case. This is a quick trip to the range case, not a long trip travel case. Though padded all around (thinly on the bottom panel, thicker around the edges), I highly doubt anyone would trust their gear in this if the bag were tossed around.I had some reservations if this bag would fit my AR15 upper with a 18" barrel (28" overall length w/ compensator), but it just barely fit -- without my scope mounted. The scope is fairly large, and it's not on the quick release kind of mounts. So I have to re-zero each time. Quick release mounts will be ordered soon :)Overall, it's an excellent case for the money. For my AR setup, it doesn't give me much options in ways to organize, but will work great for other uses (pistols, gear, smaller AR's/rifles/etc).

Great bag with ample room inside. Just wish it had one or two external pockets for extra odds and ends that I could access without having to open the entire case! Otherwise it’s totally incognito and fits my gear perfectly.

Only had this for a few weeks. Seems like a great buy for the price. Wish it were a little more firm. But all in all it’s just for storage, back and forth. Seems to hold pieces well intact. Read other reviews on pockets, and don’t plan on putting fully loaded mags there. Didn’t see them holding up to that weight over time. But, you can configure to have in main compartment and use pockets for other items. Pretty good deal for the price. I have two other bags..full length and short coffin bag. I like this second to the coffin bag. Full length is great but too bulky.

I ordered this case so I could have a bag that's more discreet when transporting my AR15, instead of one of those traditional "HEY THIS PERSON IS CARRYING A LONG GUN" gun cases. After looking through a whole bunch of them on Amazon and comparing prices and features, I decided to give this one a shot and am not disappointed. This bag seems meant for carbines, but I had read that it'll work for a full size rifle if you separate the upper and lower.Once I separate the upper from the lower, the bag holds the rifle well, and the MOLLE system and Velcro straps are perfect for holding everything in place. With the rifle in the bag, there's still extra room for my eye and hearing protection, my cleaning kit, and spare magazines. The material feels like it's good quality, though the sides of the bag could be a little stiffer I guess.

Great bag to carry your full length 16' carbine. This bag holds perfectly a scoped AR15 once taken down. Simply remove your upper from your lower and you are good to go. The bag has molle paneling throughout which allowed me to add a few 'extras' in the space that was empty. There is also 2 added mesh zipper pockets inside the bag which for me is a great place to add mags and spare boxes of ammo. I have used it while traveling several times so far and it has held up just fine with the bag at full capacity ( 16' rifle with heavy barrel, 4 loaded mags, 4 boxes of spare ammo, molle medic bag, 2 spare pistol mag) going in and out of hotels to and from the truck.I searched around for hours looking for a bag that would do the job of traveling with my rifle in a discreet way and I am happy with my purchase for the price paid. This bag has no logo's and does not scream "Tactical" at all which is perfect for this type of item. Normally NcStar makes rather 'cheap' items and while this item is far from "mil spec materials" it certainly does just what its intended. If i get around to it in the near future next time I load my case up I will snap a few photos to add to the review.

good compact and discrete gun case for a broken down AR with room for attachments

Don't get me wrong, as far as discreet gun cases under $50 go, this isn't a bad deal. It fits everything I want in it perfectly, there's plenty of room for rearranging, and it is very plain (read: discreet). It's large enough to hold my 16" barreled upper w/o a muzzle device or optic, although there is plenty of room for a muzzle device and a short optic because the upper can be slid down a bit. But, I do have a couple issues with it. Primarily, a rifle weighs quite a bit. And putting all that weight on the back wall of a bag without proper support causes this bag to dimple (see pic 2, it's more obvious in person). If it had some thick cardboard, this would be an excellent bag. My only other complaint is that you can't mount any of the supplied straps horizontally (that's an issue with the Molle system), but that can still be worked around.Still gets 4 stars, mainly because the support of the backing needs to be stronger to hold up to the discreet design, and to help add support that will help the bag last longer.
