Budget Trunk Gun - Cheap but reliable

[E_Johnson]

Euro, I got the same blem upper as you on the BCM sale and was thinking of using it for as similar purpose. Only real difference so far is that I will be using an issued Matech BUIS instead of the carry handle.... but this has given me some good ideas of where to go for the lower. Thanks!

great set up

I picked up one of those uppers as well and planning on doing the same thing. I plan on figuring out a way to secure it better in my trunk to prevent smash and grab.

Nice set up.
How do you plan to carry spare magazines? A "battle belt", chest rig, plate carrier, some kind of "active shooter" style hip bag?

I've personaly been thinking about something like this http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/US-Pe...p%20p20305.htm
To keep my fighting gear seperate from my "get home" bag. The thought being that if things are bad enough to openly carry a rifle that is one thing, but most of the time just CCing a pistol and some food/water/cloths will get you home.

Lots of man bag discussion already - https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread...man-purse-quot

I am not a fan for the Peacekeeper bag. YMMV.

Per your original post it sounded as if you were OK with this rifle being stolen should someone break into or steal the vehicle. I am against so-called truck guns or leaving guns in vehicles except as absolutely necessary. If I have my rifle in my vehicle I park so I can see it and it is totally out of sight.

When people say "truck gun" they are often referring to something cheap they just leave in the vehicle and are don't care if it is stolen. Considering all the times we read stories about weapons being stolen from fed/local LE vehicles or firearms being stolen and used i crimes, I think it's irresponsible.

I'm confused by your question.

Are you asking if I'm okay with my rifle getting stolen because it is not a $2k Noveske? Of course not. I don't want anything of mine to get stolen, even if I only paid $5.00 for it. This rifle won't live in the vehicle 24/7. It's just that it's only purpose is as a trunk gun when I need one. I'll still take every precaution that I can in order to ensure it isn't stolen, just like I do everything I own.

Or, are you asking if my car got stolen and I had a rifle in it, would I rather have this in the trunk than a $2k Noveske? In that case, of course I would.

^^^Agree. Maybe the better scenario would be that it was a safely stored rifle that had to be used for self defense and was taken by the police as evidence.
