Pelican alternative AR-15 case

[ragnar]

I wanted a case for my first ar build I recently completed. I was interested in something that was smaller and fit a disassembled rifle. Of course the Pelican cases are top of the line, but they are a pretty penny. I looked high and low and finally came across a company outside of Dayton called MCM Electronics that carries a knock-off. This case has internal dimensions of 25" x 13" x 6½" and has 2 layers of pick and pull foam as well as a bottom solid foam layer and egg crate type foam in the lid. Has 5 pretty heavy duty latches. Cost was $66.32 to my door and got here in basically a day.

Here's mine. It's a plano. Actually very sturdy for the money. I was impressed. $139

I looked at that one, I just didn't want another submarine sized rifle case

I had one of those Plano cases. I hate it because it was ****ing huge and heavy as ****. I needed a dolly

Tagged for interest... I've been looking at the smaller Plano: Amazon.com : Plano Molding Company All Weather Tactical Gun Case, 36-Inch : Hard Rifle Cases : Sports & Outdoors

I want something a little smaller though. That one you posted might be great!

Mine has wheels. That helps a lot. Just didn't want two separate cases for two rifles.

Hey Ragnar, any way you could post a pic of that case sitting next to you, or in your hand? Trying to get an idea of how big it is externally. It measures right to be great for my SBR, but I don't want it to be too big.

Also, is it lockable?

external dimensions are 28" x 16 ½" x 7" and it does not lock. I'll post a pic for size comparison later.
