Hi guys,
 
I'd like a single bag that can hold either one handi + 3 barrels or 4 barrels + one receiver+stock (plus an extra foreend or two, small parts like primer carriers, snap caps, etc)
 
Any suggestions? I've never played with an AR15 range bag, would one of those work?
 
If I have to modify a bag to keep the barrels secure, that can be done, but a store bought solution (reasonable price) is always better!
 
Any thoughts?

Chk E-Bay for some of those old shotgun breakdown bags/cases. Sometimes they are relatively inexpensive.
Another thing you could do is find cloth bags that might hold say a pool cue and use those to carry the lot in a traditional rifle case.
OR, get those silicone bags they sell at Academy and store your barrels in those and use a soft AR15 assualt bag to carry the lot.
Last suggestion, my grandson is looking for work. Hire him to carry them for you. He's not bright but he'll stand still playing his gameboy for hours, so you can use him for shooting sticks.

See the Handi cases in the FAQs.  ;)

Oh good, One of hte barrels is the 3.5" chamber 12 gauge barrel, I could use some padding between the buttstock and my shoulder, too!

slip on butt pad is the easiest solution for shoulder.
Also, if you can sew a little an old BOW CASE might work

looks like an AR-15 soft case may work perfectly. Has two pouches that can hold 2 barrels each with "tactical" loops all over the place allowing me to insert velcro strips to secure the barrels. There's an outside pocket for "pistols and mags" that seems big enough to hold the receiver.

The price tag is far too high. I'm hoping to find something in a reasonable price range that has these features. Perhaps a gunshow find. The case price should not exceed the gun price!
