Musical instrument case, into gun case?

[Al Mundy]

i stole the pic off ftmoe. one way to do it.......

That case is the best! Reminds me of the movie Desperado.

Still haven't found a violin case. But I did get some foam for my briefcase project. The upper has already been cutout, the parts that look like I screwed up,( behind the upper and under the flash supressor) is just magic marker. It will have another layer to cover it anyway.That's why the angles look weird but the will sit nice. Anyway I need opinions on a setup. I have 3 I'm trying to choose from. #1 #2 #3. Please tell me you think is the best choice. In the 3rd option I would double up on the extra M9 mag just didn't feel like grabing one from the nightstand.

#1


#2


#3

i like #3, professional ,. 1 and 2 look crisp, but i dont like the ammo box, id rather put more mags or something, flashlight ect.


im gonna have to get crafty soon and build me a something.

#3 here as well...if you're looking to pack a briefcase with goodies, I'd rather have a BUG with two mags than simply one more box of rounds for the primary weapon.

Sorry, but my instrument cases have (shock, shock) musical instruments in them. While in this day and age that might seem odd, some of us actually do play.

Cool!!

Love the comments, I will do another layout idea after the old lady's done with Idol and I can assume command of the livingroom. BUG and surefire included!

There's a new pic in the AR pistol thread of a guy who's making one out of a baby blue old beat up piece of luggage.
Makes sense to me. Although a briefcase or instrument case may look the best, if it's something you'll have in your rig a thief would smash a window for either. Not a POS 70's era suitcase.
I knew someone that took all their garbage during Christmas and wrapped it and left it in their unlocked car. Needless to say all the wrapped boxes were gone the next day.

Ok I did a little more today. Here's another option. Bobcat/CT laser/extra mag, Gerber full auto, surefire 6PL P61 upgrade.

Old luggage has occurred to me too. If not too bulky that would work great.
A couple years ago I saw a cheap badminton set that had a hard case. I wish I had picked it up, it would have been perfect.
While my primary objective is discrete transportation, hiding in plain sight is quite attractive.

I've used Trade Up Music on about 47th & SE Division for years, and there's another over in NoPo too. Pretty reasonable prices on used instruments and cases. I'm pretty careful about where I flash weapons, so I wouldn't wander in there with a gat, even in a case, without warning/asking them first. They'd probably be cool with a courteous heads up. Or you might ask for a week-long money-back promise with receipt in hand, 'cause it's either going to fit or not.

Watch out though, if there's anything those sh*tbag tweakers like to steal more than guns, it's instruments!

and tools, i found that out the hard way...didn't even have a shell close to the 12 gauge...damnit

I agree about the junkies, if it is'nt nailed down, then you must be making a donation.
Thanks for the tip on the music shop.
