Quick tip with marking the boxes. After you write with the sharpie, cover over your writing with a piece of scotch tape. It will keep the writing visible much longer.

IIRC Imminent Threat Solutions had a writeup on a similar box that included full BCG's and recoil assemblies too, albeit a bigger heavier case.

The better way to go IMHO is having multiple cases. Small cases fit anywhere, large cases become a matter of how much room is left. I agree we need complete supplies, but part of that is management of our needs and uses. For example, I have one box which is all BCM LPKs broken down into parts. Nothing but BCM goes in, so that box is a known commodity. Other boxes are mixes of parts. I do have Glock and SW parts on hand as well, but AR stuff is more what lends itself to needing spares when the political climate is considered.

Good points, Stick; I'm thinking BCG's would go into an "UPK box" and buffer tubes/assemblies "LPK," which would reduce the number of "space eaters" in each unless you're also keeping stripped uppers in there. (In which case sticking each BCG into an upper would save space... but at that rate you might as well just box 'em as prebuilt unbarreled uppers.)

Perhaps not the most compact, but I've been using a few of the Plano 6340 cases (11x7x1.75"). I like the 3 latches that keep it secure and they stack nicely in my range bags (even the small one). I did cut some of the plastic to fit larger items like BCGs, etc.
I update these as I figure out what I need or don't have at a class, range, etc, this is the current configuration:
As a civilian, I think the most important thing is that your loadout is 100% seamless. How do you know if your loadout is seamless. Easy! Simply ask yourself, can it tell a story? For example:
Me? Tactical? Not a chance, man, I'm just a funky musician on his way to a gig at the local hipster house. Oh and BTW, do you know where I might score some ganja? Gotta get in the right headspace for my next antifa meeting.
And while they're assuming my rad vest is to transport my vaping rig, extra lipo batteries, and ganja juice pods in assorted tropical flavors, little do they know I'm ready to operate operationally AF!
Oh and BTW commie scum, that ain't no keyboard in that there keyboard bag.
Time to call in the boogaloo boys? Just gotta find a tree or flagpole and reinforcements are otw!
Uh oh, now shit's gettin' real yo. Cover me, fam, gotta upgrade real quick.
That's a full loadout BTW. 7 mags, ECH helmet, comprehensive IFAK, SAPI plates with MBAV backers, MSAP side plates with Crye backers. The armor can be worn concealed, with or without rifle plates. With plates it conceals under a jacket or hoodie. Without plates, it conceals under a polo shirt. The chest rig is completely independent of the armor. It can be worn over it or instead of it.
Everything but the armor fits either on my person or in that keyboard bag. The helmet is the only thing that can't be concealed. Haven't figured that one out yet (bowling ball bag maybe?) The night vision breaks down and fits in the vest pockets. The chest rig and rifle will fit in the keyboard bag. The keyboard bag also has shoulder straps that are reasonably comfortable.
Oh shit balls, I hear a helicopter, and it definitely sounds black. Shackleford out.
