Project: The M16 PDW & The Home Depot Discreet Case

I found out about the LAW Tactical® AR Folding Stock Adapter on the interwebs and had to have one. I went to their website and found they were in the middle of changing over production from GEN 2 to GEN 3… and it would be several months before I was able to get one. Since M16’s are the LEGOs of the NFA world, I had to add it to the toy box of “extras” I have gathered up in the last 12 years. It is a work of art, IMO. Go to www.lawtactical.com for a video that explains it better than I can.

So now that I have made up a PDW with a 6” Sun Devil Billet upper, MOE FDE livery, C-More Railway, and the LAW Tactical Folder Adapter (for a 17” -OAL folded- PDW)… what to carry it in?! I could find an Assault Systems type tactical case to keep it in, but that would be too easy. I wanted discreet. I looked at brief cases, tennis racket cases (actually too long), music instrument cases (mostly too expensive)… and tool boxes. Most tool boxes are made for expensive tool lines (i.e. SnapOn) and are not only expensive but even more prone to theft. That was until I went to HD!

For the princely sum of $8.95 (not including tax) the 19” Homer Box was PERFECT for the job.

Here is my proof:

Wow that is a short barrel! How is the concussion, especially with that muzzle device?

"Ears" are required! That comp however is fantastic. 0.0 muzzle rise.

wow that looks slick

Nice project. Stealth isn't just for aircraft.

I have a Winchester Model 12 shotgun that neatly disassembles into two pieces. It fits into a diaper bag. Nothing says innocuous like Grandpa visiting the kiddos.

I'm building a pistol AR, and like you, am going to use a Gen 3 LAW Tactical adapter to make it even more discreet. Some of the sling bags and messenger bags are also worth a look, you might check into those as well.

Bill,
Here is my stealth case :-)

I've since replaced the optics, rail and vfg.

Sam, great minds think alike. I have been hiding my SBR AK in a Prince bag for some time. Talk about "camo"!

And the M92 has progressed...

Holy shit!! That has got to be THE shortest barrel I have ever seen on an AR. That looks even shorter than most MP5's. Is that a pistol length gas system, or a proprietary length? Also, is this 5.56 or .300 BLK?

Just curious.

Pretty sweet!

So the bcg travels through the opening? But it locks in place when in the stock is in a folded position ?

Look at the 2nd picture. At the bottom is the BCG extension. One end (with the "O" rings) is inserted into the back end of the BCG. The added length makes up for the closed hinge depth, so the buffer face to BCG is the same as stock.
