    Getting in and out of your house without letting your neighbors know it is a rifle. Down at my parents we think there is a neigbor's son who is a rat and scopes the comings and going of the rest of the neighbors in the area. He tells his buddies in crime and they put the house on the list to hit.

    Rifles cases are very recognizable. If there is a rifle in the house, there may be other nice gun related items, even more guns inside that would make a nice score.

    Now that makes sense! Thanks Shorts.

    It may just be the fuzzy pic but it looks like the rear site is on backwards

    They're on there correctly. The rifle is a Sabre M5 Carbine I bought the day after the Kenyan won his first seat. I named her "Sarah". The sights are YHM that came with the rifle.

    This... I always load my guns up in the garage before opening the door for this reason...
    I bought a Wilson 3 racquet padded tennis racquet bag for my AR pistol. I keep a 20 in it and the sling attached, then also keep a cheap racquet that I bought, wrapped in a t-shirt that I also keep in the bag to give it more of a racquet shape. I can keep three 30 round mags in the outside pocket. Plus, the bag is red and black and has "Wilson" written across it in big letters - totally non-threatening. I don't ever use it, but I figure if I have to pose as a tennis player on PP job, I'll be ready.

    Cheap folding chair bag plus one 4" PVC end cap.

    Get any color you want and stencil anything you want on the outside. Will not take standard capacity mags but the smaller ones might fit.

    My neighbors all pretty keep to themselves and probably wouldn't notice, but if they saw me leaving with the guitar case, they'd probably say to themselves "Thank God he's going somewhere else to play that thing!" :p

    I was just about to ask, too. I have Troy Micro Battles on my AR and the rear flip-up is oriented to fold backwards, too.

    Excellent idea. There's nothing suspicious about a folding chair bag. Only thing is that every time I see one now I'll think of an AR. Lol

    IIRC, a 20 round magazine is the same length as the pistol grip. That should work.

    I didn't try it but I have a new one sitting here. I suppose I should look and see for myself lol duh

    Yes well not all of us live in nice communities or residential areas. I live in an apartment complex and donot know 95% of my neighbors. I'd rather be inconspicuous then have my door booted in when I was at work.

    I think we can all just agree that there are times you don't want people to know that you're carrying a rifle. Specific circumstances might vary, but I'm sure everybody can think of a situation where this info could be handy.

    Honestly, I thought this was an old trick lol. I've kept it in the back if my mind more as something for if there was a collapse in society and I wanted a way to transport my gun without drawing attention. Its either that or break it down and pack it in my back pack with my clothes.

    I highly doubt I'll ever need to do this though.

    Our neighbor behind us is the nosey kind. Both the husband and wife have pissed off most of their neighbors (including us) with their shenanigans. When I leave to go the the range I make sure they are not watching and have most of my bags and things wrapped over with a blanket. We have to disguise are shooting wares because of them.
