Orca Arms – Compact Carbine Case

Published by
David Reeder

This is the “Compact Carbine Case” from Orca Arms. It is, as you can see, designed to carry a broken down AR carbine. One side of the case is configured to fit the upper receiver, the other to fit the lower.  Online the description reads that it's for a 16″ barrel, but the rifle in the case here has a 16.1″ barrel plus a Troy Claymore flash hider so it can obviously go just a little longer. Both are secured to the interior by 6 removable straps.

There are a lot of rifle bags out there, some really good, some you should be embarrassed to own. What sets this particular bag apart from most other bags that I know of is the use of Plume Vires in its construction (Tyr Tactical does; there may be others I'm unaware of). Plume Vires (PV – it's Latin for Feather Strength) is a lightweight material that combines Aramid and Cordura, resulting in a stronger, much tougher hybrid. The manufacturer advises PV averages 20% lighter and 7-10x more abrasion resistant than MilSpec 1000D Cordura.

Inside the bag are a removable divider to keep the halves from rubbing, 2 mag pouches with adjustable lids (2 x M4 or 1 x AK), a zippered mesh utility pouch and a zippered 7″x10″ zippered flat pocket behind the mag and mesh pouches. Outside there is a carry handle and removable backpack style shoulder straps as well as a hook and loop panel. The inside of the case is Velcro lined 500D Cordura.

 The Orca Arms Compact Carbine Case is made in the U.S.A. with American made materials. Currently available in Coyote, MultiCam, Ranger Green and Black, other color options are on the way. Navy blue and gray for sure, possibly others. We'll advise when there are more.
