: Drag bags and other "tactical" bags
usmcdoc14 11-25-2007, 09:03 AM I need a new rifle bag and am leaning to something durable that can carry 1-2 rifles, magazines, other shit. I was looking at the blackhawk drag bag but at $200 thats realy pushing my spending limit. Anyone have any recomendations?
also found this knock-off, anyone see/own one?

$349 I know its over what you are looking for just an idea of a style of bag.

Still pretty pricey but they come highly recommended. Galati actually has a couple of drag bags of different styles. I'd like to pick up the shooting mat/drag bag myself one of these days.

shut it :flipoff2:
its cheaper than getting 8 yards of 800-1000 dener cordura nylon, zippers and other small shit NOT at the riggers shop :laughing:

so where do you buy cordura? is that something you can go into some nancy fabric store and get? there was an eagle sniper vest i wanted but the ammo pouches wouldn't fit 300 win mag. i figure it wouldn't be that hard to make my own ammo pouches if i got a heavy duty sewing machine and some cordura. i wanted to make a soft top for the 4runner so a good sewing machine may be a good investment, (i just have to make sure i pick it up in my dodge truck, not the miata:flipoff2:).

just get a nice walking foot machine and you can sew ANYTHING. look at craigslist or DRMO auctions for them.

Cheaper model (http://www.eberlestock.com/Gunslinger%20M%20Series.htm)
indulf 11-25-2007, 07:09 PM Cheaper model (http://www.eberlestock.com/Gunslinger%20M%20Series.htm)
very nice :)
blkntancj 11-28-2007, 12:03 PM The Eberlestock Gunslinger that Bubba posted is a very nice piece of gear. I have used the standard drag bag style for years and I would never go back. The old drag bag style is a gun bag with shoulder straps. The Gunslinger is a back pack that carries a rifle. Carries ten times nicer than a drag bag and holds alot more gear. $189 on http://www.lapolicegear.com/ebgsguriba.html We have had them for about 6 months now and I am very happy with the performance. I have easily scaled fences and other obstacles with it on my back (far easier than with a drag bag). The only thing taht I would recommend with it is a muzzle/crown protector of some type as the lower part of the rifle compartment is a bit thin on padding in my opinion.

usmcdoc14 12-18-2007, 09:13 PM oh ya, I hate you guys :laughing: I ordered 2 yards of ballistic nylon and 4 yards of cordura a few weeks ago. Tomorow I will be chopping/converting a London Bridge medical bag that had a hole burnt into it into a rifle/drag bag :flipoff2:
There will not be much of the original bag left besides the zippers and some side parts.

Now I need her to make one of these:evil:

It's not bad at all.

I have been thinking of those myself. To use in my "package" deals.
Do you think its worth it, or a great deal, or you get what you paid for?

For the price, they are a fucking awesome deal. Hows that?

you should have thought less and bought more :flipoff2:
My concern from people who own bags such as this and others...what about scope protection. Obviously you don't throw this thing around with or without optics, I just get tired of removing my glass to fit in the standard case.

Use one of these in conjunction with the bag. Mine rides around in the trunk of a Cop car all the time and still maintains 1MOA or less.

got this for x-mass :bounce: and it is VERY heavily made. I am still working on a project bag but this one will DEFINITELY last a while and work well.
I have no clue why the Blackhawk bag is like $100 more
ATLRoach 12-23-2007, 10:14 PM Let me know what you think when you get it.. Brigadequartmaster had the blackhawks for sale in the store the other day for $135
usmcdoc14 12-24-2007, 07:13 AM Let me know what you think when you get it.. Brigadequartmaster had the blackhawks for sale in the store the other day for $135
I have it right now, I was allowed to open it early :D
its the same "style" as the blackhawk except it has 2 long pouches on the outside instead of 1 big long one. The construction is very solid and I would not doubt if they were made at the same chicom factory :laughing: I can take pics later if anyone would like.
aloharover 12-24-2007, 07:56 AM I still like this one

Specially since the PALs webbing allows you to change out the side pockets.

usmcdoc14 12-24-2007, 02:04 PM here is some pics
3 outside pouches, 2 long ones with the square one at the end being a double pocket

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/gallery/files/1/3/3/4/4/dragbag5.jpg
pack straps on the back. They look "ALICE" packish type straps and are completely removable or they can be tucked back inside in their own pouch
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/gallery/files/1/3/3/4/4/dragbag2.jpg
removable divider held with snaps and velcro. LOTS of padding on the outside including a top area that protects where the zipper closure is.
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/gallery/files/1/3/3/4/4/dragbag3.jpg
will fit a full size rifle
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/gallery/files/1/3/3/4/4/dragbag4.jpg
it is very well made, I would have to hold this near a Blackhawk or comparable one but I am pretty sure it would be a tie or this one better.

Sweet congrats on the bag.
BigPig 12-26-2007, 05:19 AM I have no clue why the Blackhawk bag is like $100 more
Because it says Blackhawk on it.

Ive got this bag, and for the money its a pretty damn good bag. Ive drug it all over with a 20" AR and it all fits great.

What color? And how much? This looks like the right back for me. Ive got to pack around my 20"AR and rem 870
StoopidMonkey 12-27-2007, 12:19 PM What color? And how much? This looks like the right back for me. Ive got to pack around my 20"AR and rem 870
Its black. $80 plus shipping.

Do you know if you can fit two guns in it? I just need a double rifle case for traveling between the safe and the range. It's going to hold my 20" AR and an 870. I can make a little modification to it, but I just need to know if it roughly fits. Also I really like the price

i actually carry mine as a shit hit the fan bag:
1 AK w/ 3 mag
1 9mm AR SBR w/ 4' barrel w/ 6 mags
1 mac-11 (9mm) w/ 3 mags
1 9mm S&W pistol w/ 2 mags
it works as an awesome range bag....i don't think it would hold a AR and an 870 in the same pocket...unless the 870 has an m4 stock it probably won't fit in the small pocket at all...
