Since I read this essay a few months ago by Matthew Bracken (author of Enemies, Foreign and Domestic):
>Bracken: Just A Working Man With His Tools | Western Rifle Shooters Association
I have been dying to try it.
The one thing thing about Mr. Brackens effort that bugged me was that he had to leave part of the muzzle sticking out of the case. Since I have one 16" upper without a muzzle extension, I wanted to try and get the whole gun into the case.
Unfortunately, I had to buy my case on eBay because I couldn't find a free one. It was a perfect case, because it is well worn and would not attract much attention.
I removed as little plastic as possible to get the case to close on the rifle. It really didn't take much, and I had enough foam lying around to pad it up nicely.
I had to remove the scope I had on the rifle, because it stuck out to the rear of the upper receiver. I need to find a smaller optic, or at least a set of BUIS to put on it.
I really don't anticipate ever needing to smuggle an AR-15 around my neighborhood, but I could always strap this to the back of my motorcycle for a trip to the range.
If nothing else, it was a fun way to kill some time on a crappy winter day.
