New Rifle Bag
I acquired a new soft case a while back, and I cannot figure out for the life of me who made this darned thing. It doesn't have a single manufacturer's tag in it, but it is obviously well made; along the lines of quality one would expect from Eagle. Be that as it may, it also has some interesting features--some odd interesting, and some cool interesting. If anyone out there knows who made this case, and why it was made the way it is, I'd sure be grateful
Pic 1: The Interior
The case is 32x11; long enough for a folding stock AK (which is what I am using it for). To the left is the "pocket" for the muzzle. Note the "seatbelt" straps. Why? What purpose could they possibly serve on the interior? There are also two velcro straps. The one on the left (middle of the case) is positionable, and 20" long, which is way more strap than necessary (or convenient). The rightmost one is securely sewn into the case. At 10", it is a good length, but it isn't really in a good position for securing the grip and/or receiver. The zippered accessory pouch is a great size at about 14x4x3. The large zippered pockets on the near half of the case have 3" elastic sewn into them so as to accommodate 4 30-rd mags each. Note the "stay-quiet" tabs sewn into each end of these pouches.
Pic 2: The Exterior
Here it is opened flat. The straps are seatbelt material and well-stitched. In fact, as you can see, there's quite a bit of well-stitched seatbelt on this case. The zippers are all YYK. Note the ID window on the front cover. On the back cover is what looks (to me, anyway) like a ring to secure the case with a carabiner if one were inclined to jump out of an airplane with this rifle case attached to them
Pic 3: The Exterior--weird
Here's what really throws me about this bag: there is a panel on the front cover that zips off. WTH. This is the panel with the ID window. The zipper for this panel actually zips completely over the carry handle on this side of the case, so I have to have the panel partially unzipped to carry the case using both carry straps. Again, WTH. This design just makes absolutely no sense to me, but I'm hoping that someone out there can pierce through my ignorance and enlighten me as to the origin and purpose of this bag.
