[Accessories] Harbor freight Apache 5800 case same size as pelican 1510 $77 with coupon, limit one piece

This thing was much smaller than I expected in person.

[-]

angrynoah@reddit

Agreed, though I bought one anyway. I had hoped to be able to fit 5 or 6 handguns but 4 is a stretch.

[-]

PoetryNo2504@reddit

What do you mean by this I just picked up the 4800 today and was able to fit 7 handguns and mags

[-]

angrynoah@reddit

I'm sure it could fit seven G26s or something, but Open 2011s, 6-inch revolvers... not even close

[-]

I fit a 1911, a Beretta 92FS, a Glock 22, a Glock 47, a Glock 19X, and a 43X with space for another full size gun still. I was able to fit mags in there; the full-size 1911 fits in there with plenty of space for mags. I can send a picture

Since it's a size clone of the pelican 1510 it's designed to be exactly the max length/width/depth of a standard airline OK carry on luggage item, for serious photography and other electronics transport uses. If you want something bigger you need a bigger Pelican.

[-]

DeafHeretic@reddit

It has to fit airline "carry on" dimensions. After some research, the external dimensions are just right for that purpose. Anything larger won't qualify.

I am going to get one because while I rarely fly, this will come in handy for when I do.

Before someone makes a Time Machine comment…

One of this years 10 days of deals (end of May 2024) had all Apache cases at 50% off. The most recent one in the past.. 10 days didn’t have an Apache deal.

If you don’t need one now, I’d wait and see what they offer around Black Friday of this year. But who knows now since the eastern seaboard ports are all on strike leading up to the holidays.

[-]

Doogiemon@reddit

This is what I got with the 50% off.

It's a nice case that I'd get a second one later at some point.

[-]

worshingwithsorp@reddit

Does it fit a helmet, nods, and several hand guns?

[-]

tspoon-99@reddit

Strike is over already

[-]

justhereforthegafs@reddit

All good points except the last, but considering china is across the western seaboard, I doubt many harbor freight shipments go through the east coast.

[-]

HeroOfStorms@reddit

It can be cheaper for Chinese companies to ship to the Eastern ports, depends on the final destination of their cargo, but with the strike most will probably be routed to the western ports.

[-]

vVvRain@reddit

I read somewhere recently that increasingly China is using deep water ports in South America and then using trains up to America because it’s cheaper sometimes.

This could be complete hearsay though, I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

Show us on the map where these traintracks are.

[-]

Secretninja35@reddit

There are no roads or railways connecting Mexico to South America, you were reading some dumb shit.

[-]

t-_-t586@reddit

Anyone ever try HQ Issue on Amazon? I need a rifle length and may not wait for 50% off if I can find good feedback I can trust like comments from random people (or bots) from Reddit

[-]

L_H_R_D@reddit

Yo OP!! I’ve had one for a few years. I haven’t been able to break it yet. I drag it around on all surfaces, up and down stairs, and toss it into the bed of my truck. FWIW the plastic is a bit softer than a pelican case and not as rigid.

[-]

t-_-t586@reddit

Thank you random internet guy. May just pull the trigger on one!

[-]

White3g4runner@reddit

My 11.5” super duty fits in this slightly sideways, but works. I like it alot.

Sidenote: traveling with this for TSA, the latches do come apart, so tape them down as well. Someone was nice enough to zip tie mine at least last time I traveled from VA to OR

[-]

nationalspice@reddit

Which one is equivalent to 1615 pelican air ?

[-]

9Implements@reddit

They don’t have that.

[-]

Watermelonbuttt@reddit

I wish it was a little bigger so I would put multiple rifles in there

[-]

MarlinMaverick@reddit

What size case (Apache or Pelican) would I need to store a PC, broken down 14.5" AR and battle belt?

[-]

WillBattle18@reddit

Someone link just the foam for this I need to replace mine on my pelican

[-]

LockoutNex@reddit

On the product webpage scroll down to Replacement Parts which is under Product Support, there is a PDF with the UPC and the support number you can call to order it.

[-]

sprchrgddc5@reddit

Cobra Foam has some good ones, I got a five pistol one for the Apache 3800. Sign up an account, put the foam in your cart, wait for a coupon. Think it was like $40 shipped. Steep for a $25 case but honestly beats trying to DIY.

GassyGlock@reddit

I think I’ve got mine somewhere and can just send it to you if you want. I’ll take a look and let you know.

[-]

MainRotorGearbox@reddit

You should look into custom foam if you know what you’re going to use the case for. It’s the coolest thing, and not crazy expensive.

[-]

Hutterchris@reddit

I'm also looking for this foam. Please someone link

Bobaaoppa@reddit

Anyone use these for extensive regular air travel? Is it practical or would I be better off getting a regular suitcase?

[-]

alltheblues@reddit

I know a few people who travel with pistols using this case. It’s heavy though so only worth it if you need the protection on a budget. I have one I don’t use much but theirs have held up for years of air travel. Most people I know who fly (including me) use Pelican Air cases though because they’re half the weight. They’re also 3-4 times the price

[-]

JJMcGee83@reddit

I have a Pelican travel case, one designed for baggage and it's heavy at 20lbs empty and it's large enough that some airlines consider it oversized regardless of weight. Because of the thickness and how inflexible it is I can get more stuff in a smaller wheelie duffel bag so I started using that instead.

So short version is I wouldn't recommend it. If you mostly travel with clothes it's overkill. Might consider it if you travel with fragile things.

[-]

Old_MI_Runner@reddit

You would have to confirm it meets the dimension requirements for onboard luggage. I bought one during 50% sale. I don't know the weight offhand but it may be on product webpage. I would think a regular suitcase would weight much less so would be easier to transport for clothing. I picked up a nice wheeled suitcase for free from a neighbor after they put it and other nice items out to the curb when they sold their house. If I were transporting something fragile like camera gear or scope onboard with me then this may be a good option.

[-]

EggFooYungAndRice@reddit

It does meet requirements for size. Carryon dimensions are 22 x 14 x 9, this case is 21.875 x 13.75 x 9 according to spec. Weight is 15.39 lb. In case this is helpful to anyone.

[-]

GassyGlock@reddit

Lots of people in the music industry use this as their carry on for job-critical gear. I repurposed mine into my range box when I left the music industry. That said, if you’re just putting clothes in it you’re far better off with a regular suitcase.

[-]

LinechargeII@reddit

if you're carrying it on, it should be fine. if you're checking it a lot, at some point, it's going to break, because airline baggage crews don't give a fuck.

[-]

work_blocked_destiny@reddit

I use my pelican for air travel and the only issue I run into is weight. It’s 20lbs empty so I’m always paying for heavy baggage. Well I’m not lol someone is though.

[-]

alltheblues@reddit

It’s been cheaper. Might as well wait for black Friday. Good case though. I don’t really travel with mine but I know people who use them for air travel with pistols.

[-]

HighwaySixtyOne@reddit

Danggit, I need a 4800!

Hobo Freight, hear my plea!!!
