Customer Reviews for AR-15 Covert Carry Kit WITH CASE

It's a niche, lack-of-adult-supervision-in-my-life, playin' 007, had enough of Libturd BS, can't-keep-money-shoveled-out-of-my-wallet-fast-enough toy. But, just had to have it. Not disappointed; probably wouldn't buy again. Not my biggest "what-was-I-thinkin'-or NOT" episode by a long shot. If you parallel my first sentence credentials, buy it and have fun, don't look back. HINT: If you have it, get pulled over in a small one-stop-sign, rural town, and the subject somehow mistakenly floats to the top, be prepared to have Barney bug-eye freak out, and have S&Gs explainin' it to his superiors. Probably don't go to Illinois with it either. Don't ask from whence I pull this wisdom. :) :) :)

Great Gun kit. No one knows you're carrying an AR-15 in the briefcase. Gun shoots very accurately as well.

I bought this more as a novelty. It required a complete carbine rifle to assemble in addition to some specialized parts to work (low profile gas block), but it does it's job flawlessly and accompanies me regularly in a low profile way to keep me and my family protected. My only criticism is that it requires a scope/sight to aim that there isn't room for inside of the case.

Can't say enough good about this product. So far it's worked great. The briefcase is good quality and pretty much identical to the one I carried for years in my military career. There is more than enough room above the receiver to cut the foam out for an optic. I am using a Sig romeo with mine and it fits well. The adapter installs easily. I'm thinking about ordering another adapter or two for different barrels so I can easily change calibers. Overall I'm extremely happy with this unique, quality product.

I have used this on a very limited amount of times. It requires some time to change out on my AR15 and I should buy another to use for this only and not change back and forth for the situation.

worked great was a fun little build

Very interesting concept. And once we made design modifications it performed flawlessly. However the kit did not arrive without it's issues. Assembles well with the exception of the locking plate which has no "Attachment" means. We tried several different barrels manufactures and the barrel plate is designed with such loose tolerances the it floats and slide freely up and down the barrel making a rapid assembly all but impossible. We had to modify this product to made it function properly as it was advertised. And if contemplating this purchase, I highly recommend "NOT" purchasing the briefcase with this kit. Extremely LOW quality briefcase! Basically crap! It's a $15 briefcase at best, so not worth the $50 they are asking for it! * But after making required modifications the the locking plate by drilling and installing "Set-screws" and purchasing a quality briefcase to replace the crap case we do have a rock-solid setup and happy with it's performance...

The case has a design flaw in the form of a rivet that rubs against the hand guard during shipping so the anodizing comes pre-scuffed. One of the brief cases snap releases failed during the second week with less than one dozen open close cycles. In spite of reading and understanding the instruction about being careful not to over tighten the set screw on the receiver mounted retainer I believe I bent the barrel channel of my upper receiver slightly out of round.There is a hitch in the hand guard threading at the unused set screw location.

I have no particular need ,but I thought it could help me store the ar. Directions were understandable after I read them several times with my ar disassembled. Watch the tightening of the Allen screws. Over tightening will make it hard to insert or remove the barrel. After a couple of trips to the range one of the alignment posts fell out. I reinserted it with liq. lock washer and it has remained in place since. I am satisfied and would recommend it. This has made my AR light and fun to use

The case and components appear to be quality products. The handguard is light weight with nice knurling and finish. With the handguard snugged down there is no play in any of the components. I have assembled but not fired it yet. I wanted the handguard to screw in just a little more. There is a ring with a set screw inside the handguard that bears against the fitting that holds the barrel in. The ring was very hard to turn, even with the set screw loosened. My (redneck) solution was two flat blade screwdrivers in the turning slots in the ring with a wrench handle between them for torque. It worked, but it was ugly. My suggestion for the case is to not glue the bottom foam piece to the cutout foam piece. It will be difficult to cut the section for the scope with that bottom piece glued on. Overall, a good product and a good value.

The product is just as advertised. A briefcase with cutout foam, machined parts to make your ar15 a quick take down and quick assembly. I found the install around the medium level. There are certain tools and abilities one should possess before undertaking this. If you have not built an AR-15 from parts you might not want to tackle this. When in doubt, call a gunsmith. Have yet to test the repeatable accuracy of this. Montana weather is unpredictable at best.

The QC Barrel Nut would not fit on my Bushmaster Carbon 15 Super Light that I also ordered from Bud's. I was only able to check it days after I received it because the upper receiver on my rifle was cracked upon receipt and I had to send it back to Bushmaster for warranty repairs. After waiting for warranty repairs I finally was able to attempt to assemble the free float hand guard but unfortunately the Quick Change Barrel Nut is not wide enough to fit over my upper receiver. I will be contacting Bud's to find a resolution.

OK, I bought this on a whim for the "cool" factor as I have no earthly reason to have a break-down AR-15 in a briefcase. Here's what you get; a nicely made leather briefcase with pre-cut foam (I had to make additional cuts for my optics and spare magazine), a barrel nut-type ring that stays on your assembled upper/lower, a locking ring that has 2 locator pins in it that stays on your barrel and a knurled aluminum free float handguard. There is a lock ring inside the handguard that allows the whole thing to lock together, you can adjust it for an exact fit. The instructions are simple enough if you have ever built/serviced an AR15. No pictures/diagrams on the instructions, but it's easy enough to figure out. I am attaching a picture of mine (not sure if it will post here or not) Overall, a very cool item to have, price may be a bit high for what you are getting but all the parts seem to be high quality, well made solid parts.
