On the advice/review posted in the “Hot Deals” thread by @11B CIB, I snagged a Grey Ghost Apparition bag for, what I see, was an extremely good deal.

The pack looks like you just walked out of REI, which is exactly what I was looking for:

Made a couple mods to the outside. Weaved cordage around the grab handle (it was a bit thin...sturdy, but thin) and replaced the zipper pulls:

Main:

Had a platform for a drop-rig packed away. Took off the top strap/leg strap. Put velcro on the back of it and put it in the back of the bag. Side of the platform folds up and provides a bit of cushion for the optic:

In the main, I have the AR, a magazine, OTIS kit and a low profile rig rolled up (IIRC, think it’s made by TAG). The AR has a 10.3 barrel and there was more than enough room for it:

2nd compartment:

FAK, 2 magazines for the G19 and 4 magazines for the AR. Also have an Altoids tin with a good bit of spare parts for the AR.

Outermost compartment:

Gloves, earplugs, glasses.

Bag is sturdy, has a great suspension system and is really comfortable to carry. If you’ve been looking for a relatively low-profile bag for your SBR/pistol, I have no hesitation at all recommending this one.

I've had this in my cart ever since the HOT Deals thread started, just went ahead and pulled the trigger on it.
 
Sexy...and that bag is pretty sweet too.
 
I’m still waiting for @11B CIB to take me up on my offer of buying him a new grey/green one so I can have the NC State red one. :(
 
And I'm not even a customer and reccomend their customer service.

This bag is on my list, looks about perfect for that sort of setup.
 
Great write up/review post

I looked back and I swear I didn’t see the first post on this. My bad

I’ve done some semi permanent mods to mine like added mag pouches
If it was in new condition I would swap

I figured that (the fact you missed the post, and modded the bag) was pretty much going to be the case. Just figured I’d ask again. :D
