View Full Version : My 15 dollar SBR case from Walmart.

I was walking through Walmart and saw a shelf of these for 15 bucks. Wasn't positive it'd fit so I kept the receipt, but it fit like a glove, just tight enough to keep it from shifting around without stretching the bag and looking like it has a gun inside. The side zipper compartment is the exact depth of a 30 round magazine and runs the length of the bag, you could probably fit about 10 of them in there. If I take the Aimpoint off it'll fit in the bag with a magazine in the weapon. Couldn't have worked out better. The tennis racket case idea isn't new, but I figured I'd give you guys with 10-11" barrels a heads up since these are so cheap.

The weapon is a DD 10.3" MK18 with a SOPMOD stock, but a 10.5" would fit as well.

Nice! For $15 that's a helluva incognito SBR bag. :cool:

Good deal! Just make sure the instructors belt, boots and tactical pants dont blow the secret.

That looks like a 20 rd mag will fit while in the bag.

Nice find.

I have a double racket bag that I use.
I don't have an SBR so i split the upper and lower and put half in each pocket. It also has 2 good size pockets underneath that I fit my gloves in one and eye/ear pro in the other.

I hope to be able to do what you have there with the SBR some day but probably not for a while.

Try the local thrift shops or tag sales. I grabbed one for $2.50 at our local Salvation Army store.

Sweet idea, didn't even think of that. Tried it with an old Colt 20 rounder I have and it does fit.

I'll wear a track suit and sweatband every time I take it outside to keep with the theme. :D

Do you think an 11.5" would fit?

With a A2-length flash hider it does seem like it would fit. Grab one and check it out, just keep your receipt.

Got one and it fits perfectly, great idea.

Red over black, or a real pretty shade of pink- I think not on the pink.

I just don't want the boys at the range poking fun at me. :cool:

You got ripped off! Mine was $5 at Play it Again Sports.

Seriously, great idea. I keep my 556 pistol in my truck and there's no where to hide or secure it, so I camouflage it with the cheapest, ugliest tennis racket case I could find.

I actually have the exact same case with the same gun in it, but didn't post pics because I didn't want to blow my cover:neo:

But yeah, I keep mine in it with a loaded 20rd pmag. The outside pouch is good for NFA paperwork, a couple more mags, and a pistol. You get funny looks at the range, but you don't get funny looks walking out your front door!;)

ETA: an 11.5 would not fit unless MAYBE with a Colt N1 stock. It barely fits with the 10.3 with the SOPMOD collapsed, but the SOPMOD does have that rubber pad on the back.

I just keep a 5x7 copy of my form 1 folded up inside the grip. As far as a discrete bag I could never pull off a tennis bag without looking more conspicuous. I've been looking for a laptop bag that would accommodate my mk18 with the upper/lower detached in the same pocket

I certainly don't look like your average tennis player, but the thing is that my libtard college kid neighbors would be a lot more likely to believe that there's a tennis racket in the bag than what is actually in it. Even if they don't believe a tennis racket is in it, I guarantee you they don't think there's a MK18 in it.

Scottyryan,

My 11.5" fits just fine. It has a MOE stock on it now.

The trick is wearing the little white shorts. You have to be a committed operator in this cold, hard world.
