For those of you who have an AR pistol of whatever caliber, what kind of case do you use to carry or transport it? I figure that a regular pistol case would be too small and a rifle case would be too big. Just looking for what others are using.

First, what purpose are we talking about? To and from the range? Or a hiking trip?
Second, what is the OAL? I have a extra small rifle case that fits bullpups and large format pistols, if they are <29" (well, technically, 29" requires some squeezing).

Sorry about that. I am talking about to and from the range. Since it hasn't been built yet, I don't know the overall length. It has a 7 1/2 barrel and a 7 inch buffer tube, if that helps.

something like this maybe:

It says 28" but you can squeeze a MD compliant bullpup in there (29" OAL).
Educated guess you will end up about 25" ish without a brace, a few inches more with a brace.

Thanks for the link. I guess I can throw the major pieces together to get an idea of the final length. I just didn't want something overly large or I would be tempted to fill it.

I use this. My pistol is 29" sans the muzzle device. This is perfect.

Laptop bag. I pop off the upper and the 8.5" blackout pistol fits in there like a glove.

I have one with a 10.2" barrel and I use a 5.11 tactical case the bag is a little too big so I wrap it in a sweatshirt. I've looked all over for one for it..can't find a decent one

I have a couple of older school backpacks. I picked up a couple of youth baseball bat bags from thrift stores. They normally run $2 to $5 each. Throw loaded magazines in one bag and the pistol in one of the other bags. I've used the cloth reusable grocery store bags at times. Throw a couple of cleaning rags on top of the pistol and put it in the trunk. I like cases that don't draw attention to themselves.

I have used a diving bag with great success.

Depends on the AR pistol, but I got this when I had a 10.5” AR pistol.

With a padded buffer tube and a 2.25” or so long linear comp on it, it fit diagonal in the case. Held it securely. IIRC it is 26” OAL inside the zippers.

I have a shallow Festool box. My 10.5" pistol wont fit but I'm thinking an 8.5" upper will.
Does anyone have an 8.5" uppered AR pistol handy? I'd like to get an overall length before I buy one.
