The day before finals, here’s what I decided to design and make. Please take a look at my overview if you have yet to do so. It has everything that tactical pouches have – a divider to keep the two pieces separate, PALS webbing, Velcro, metal rings, and ranger green fabric!

[…] Remember the words from the Heinlein quote on my Survivalblog shirt? Click for bigger…. Well, sewing isn’t listed as one of the Sacred Skills by Heinlein or Jeff Cooper, but IMO it should be. Definitely useful and necessary when SHTF, if only when one needs to suture self. Look what the Packing Rat sewed up: a carry bag for his M6 Scout! […]

Derek: Hi, Ben. Aside from the photos above, I don’t know how to help you.
Benjamin Hogan: Are you still around? If so, I have a question... I accidentally unscrewed the barrel selector screw…
ZHK: Very useful information.
Derek: No dust cover - OEM. Their MG4 uppers do, though.
Bronson Coles: did the upper you instaled have a dust cover on it by chance?
The Hunting Cave: Nice post. Knowing the parts is informative. This Ares Defense SCR looks awesome
Kailyr perry: Leave you post private me and others. Love are local spot and rather it stay a secret as you noticed…
Carl Sharp: Thanks for the advice. I hunt out back of my house witch is 90percent wooded. I been using a 444marlin…
Derek: Good question, Carl. I suppose that might depend on what you consider long range and your budget.…
Carl Sharp: i just purchased a 308 model 788. its like new condition and I was wondering how i should set it…
That’s awesome. I really like this and a few of the other designs I’ve seen you make. Are you using a regular sewing machine, or did you have to get a special one to handle the heavier fabric?
Just a regular sewing machine I think. It must be a good one however because it goes through six layers of cordura and webbing without any problem.
I intend to carry this with me when I go to Desolation Wilderness on my Kifaru Marauder backpack. Originally, I was going to carry the butt stock in the pack and the barrel section rolled away with my insulation pad. But of course, I couldn’t have that and the rest is history.
A few years ago I got a “blued” CZ version of the m6 and liked it very much but I ran across something that I had to have and traded it. Big mistake! About 3 mts ago someone traded an older Springfield version in where I work and that day it came home with me! About a week latter, the guy came back in and said he had found the bag for the m6. That was a surprize! Both fo mine have been in .22/.410. I will keep this one as long as I can. Thanks.
The case you made for your M6 is fantastic. Is it possible to buy one from you?
I’m interested in how you did this exactly. Where did you get the materials, are there any online suppliers? Or if you’re up for making a few and selling them I’d be interested in one.
How can I buy and/or make one of these bags…they’re really nice. Also any tips on putting paracord on the barrel?
Hi Jon,
I haven’t made these for production; therefore, one for sale isn’t likely. I’ve been thinking about selling the one I have now, but that it’s likely either.
Making one of these bags just requires patience, time and a little planning. The hardest part was planning the sewing sequence so that I’d have the pockets in the right order and height.
If you look online, there are several tutorials for paracord wrapping. Mine is simple and ended it with a clove hitch – nothing fancy.
I am also interested in purchasing one. But would request that it be made in Black. Are you interested in making any more for sale?
Thanks,
Randy
I don’t have the materials to make a black one. I have the one and only OD for sale right now.
I will gladly pay $50.00 + shipping or more for this bag in black.
Are you making anymore m6 carry bags?
Hi. I’m very interested in purchasing this bag for my M6 Scout. How do I accomplish this?
Thanks,
Bruce
