Best gun cases for the buck?

Yes, we realize that not everyone looking for an AR15 is  going to want to pick up an LWRC M6A2 so we don’t always stock the most expensive items out there.  There is something to be said for getting what you paid for but not everything has to be expensive.  There are many products that are just what you need and you don’t need all of the added features or added cost.  The  only bad thing about shopping for products like this is they tend to be foreign made products and it’s rare to find good products in a low price range that are Made in the USA.   We stock a lot of the higher end  products especially the tactical nylon gear like the Elite Survival Systems products.

We realize that Uncle Mike’s makes some very nice products but not everything is going to work for you.  One of our top selling online sales for nylon gun cases and gun bags are the Bulldog gun cases which are always very well priced.  These gun cases can help protect your handguns or rifles to and from the firing range, in your closet or just for storing in your gun safe.  There are always varying degrees of rifle case protection and not everyone needs to spend $80-$110 on a padded rifle case.  They do make some very inexpensive assault rifle cases for under $40.  Check them out if you are on a budget.

Gun cases for the gun enthusiasts

If you are new to collecting firearms, I have some advice for you.   Keep your guns, ammunition, magazines and accessories organized.   This may even mean that you have to spend money on gun safes or gun racks, but considering how much damage can occur to your firearms and especially rifle scopes, good organization means preservation.    I have on many occasions seen guy show up with rifles and bring the wrong gun magazines or the wrong sight in tools and from my experience, all of that should be in a range or gun bag at all times.   It’s better to keep everything in one place and bring it all with you then having to worry about if you have your AK sight in tool, M1 Garand sight in tool or your AR front sight adjustment.

If you have several long guns,  consider buying the same type of gun cases and write on them which gun case if for which rifle.   It can be a real headache if you are constantly trying to remember which gun is in which case and if the assault rifle case is for a Mini 14 or an AK.   If you own both guns, get 2 gun cases.   Allen gun cases are very inexpensive and for the most part, once you know the length of your firearm you should know if it will fit in the case.  High mounted optics or flashlights can make it problematic on knowing if a gun case will work.   The Endura pistol rug is easy to file away and can also be easily written on or marked.

The SKS rifle, more accurate than the AK?

I’ve heard all of those stories about how inaccurate the AK is, but I’ve seen my fair share of 2 MOA guns that could hit out to 400yds very effectively if the shooter knew what they were doing.  Yesterday i witnessed 2 young adults nail targets out to 30oyds with an SKS rifle that was zeroed in at 200yds.   I would say that if they had optics that gave them a bullet compensator then they probable could have been effective out another 150yds.   The real problem with the SKS rifle is that it doesn’t really hold it’s zero once the mount is removed.   I would never recommend skipping cleaning the rifle because it does have a flaw in the design and there are some safety issues.

The SKS is a fine blasting and plinking rifle and although the range is limited by the 7.62×39 ballistics, it can be a step up into the semi-auto world for a novice shooter.   I’ve heard that the SKS was used as a sniper rifle in the Vietnam war, and although it’s not a great gun for that, with good ammunition, 2 MOA means  being capable of getting a head shot at 400yds if the shooter knows what they were doing.  We hauled a few of these around in soft gun cases, and they fit into a gun sock that I have left over from a Remington 870.   The SKS has a fixed magazine and with stripper clips, it feeds and reloads quickly.
