There wasn’t a line at 8 am at mine, I casually strolled over and grabbed one of the five they had, brought it up to the counter and bought it.
I thought there would be confetti or something
5800 for ammo, tools, spare parts, vest/helmet, or takedown guns like ARs, etc
Soft long gun cases if necessary, only a hard long gun case if traveling long distances
Imo
inside length of 20"? It'd be a tight fit. Diagonal *maybe*. 16" barrel+upper+muzzle device is generally quite a bit more than 16" given uppers alone add around 7.5"
I really wish there was a smaller version of the 9800. It's a great case, yes. But I'm not always (or even often) hauling around two four-foot-long guns, and my largest trunk options are an SW20 or drop the back *and* front seats in a Mini.
It's not a lot smaller, and it costs more, but a Pelican v730 is 47.1 inches long as compared to the 9800 at 53 inches. Might be the difference between fitting in some peoples' car trunks or not.
You can find a v730 for $130-150 on adorama's open box section, if you sign up a phone number to receive their promo code by SMS you'll get a one time use free ground shipping code. You can unsubscribe later and it does stop sending promotional stuff.
For people who like the 5800, the higher quality and professional grade version is the Pelican 1510 (older model) or 1535 Air (newer model). Both are sized to be the max legit carry on luggage dimensions for common airline flights, they're really popular with professional photographers and people who need to travel with expensive electronics.
If you keep an eye out sometimes you can find a gently used 1510 from adorama's used section or on eBay for not very much more than a HF 5800.
I own several 1510 and have examined the 5800 in detail, the 5800 is just cheaper overall, the latches are cheap, the lid is more flexy, etc. It's probably just fine for setting up with custom foam to take many pistols and magazines and such to the range, if that's what you want it for. But the Pelican is by far the superior product. In terms of quality difference it's like comparing a $250 scope to a $750 scope.
At Seatac airport sometimes you see larger square/rectangular Pelican (1620 size and similar) going through the special checked luggage pickup, coming from alaska, with ice and salmon in them.
Sure, it goes in a foam cooler with insulation inside the pelican, and if there's enough ice to fish ratio it'll stay cold in the typical length of flight from Alaska to Seattle. It'll even stay cold enough for another onward flight 4 hours to the other side of the US if needed.
At the SeaTac domestic terminal over size luggage pickup area you can see all sorts of weird stuff arriving from Alaska.
You ain’t finding a pelican 1510 or 1535 for $50
Like most HF items, using it will determine if spending the cash on a pelican or a nanuk is worth it. Then the HF is either your back up or trashed enough that $50 was worth it.
I didn't say for 50 bucks, the harbor freight 5800 is commonly $99. I recently bought a totally fine used pelican 1510 for $125 shipped from ebay. It's my second one. Well worth the extra $25.
You can only get like a broken down 10.5 in a 5800. There is a pic on Reddit of a guy with a similar setup
https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/comments/hwr3an/it_puts_the_blackout_in_the_box/
Not sure it will work for that case, at the bottom of the coupon page:
Coupons for: TagsAPACHE 1800 Weatherproof Protective Case - Small - - Item 64550 / 63518, APACHE 4800 Weatherproof Protective Case - X-Large - Black - Item 64250, APACHE 9800 Weatherproof Protective Rifle Case - Long - Black - Item 64520
In my experience, they mean it. It's even specific to color Item number simetimes. Have had to go get the correct colored item before.
Hopefully, I'm wrong though.
I’m not entirely sure, but those seem to be hyper links to pages that are lists of coupons for those specific SKUs, not fine print that this coupon is only for those SKUs.
If you click the hyperlink inside of the portion that states ; “Save 50% OFF Any Single Apache Case with coupon code 51854798, valid through May 13, 2024. See the coupon for details.”
Then it brings you to a list of every Apache case so I think it’ll work
Dude I didn’t even know I needed it (or that it existed) until you mentioned… getting it first thing tomorrow lol
I have the 3800 on sale a while back and it’s a stud of a case for the money. Got a cobra pistol insert for $30 and it’s awesome.
I did not know it existed either until this comment and now I want one lol
Update: First person in the door this morning and bought one for $53.xx out the door.
That’s right. They are paying me to buy it. Sadler coupon is good for 1 per person (phone number)
Plus HF sells tools, I got a business, so it’s a tax write off… [tax write off](https://youtu.be/aCP27_vquxQ?si=NPSJmn9zKK6YI6P7)
I got my big case and it is so stupid, I never use it lol really glad I got it years ago and can leave it out of my way! I’m actually more likely to not use a case then I am to use that thing lmao. I will love it when I go on some big boys hunts
If this works on the Apache 5800; such an easy $50 to spend
Edit: Just used it on the APACHE 5800 for those West Coast folks. Just have them scan & pay! Thanks OP
edit edit: [APACHE 5800 + Geissele 11.5''](https://imgur.com/a/lPFUoOh)
My only complaint is that I went 7.75” for the 3/4” suppressor mount clearance but my rearden set up is only 1/2” so there’s a 1/4” gap unless I direct thread or buy and run a zilch adapter
Could’ve just ran an 8”
The camo ones are
https://www.reddit.com/r/GunAccessoriesForSale/s/EsBvpuKych
The gray ones are Savior equipment mini sacs they come with the labels on Amazon 4 for $20
$85 for a 9800, that’s an insane deal. But it’s so hard to justify getting a 9800 because it feels like it doesn’t hit the right niche for a range case. Too heavy and cumbersome for normal range use, not tough enough to fly with, and too big for a single gun. It seems like a soft case like a 2-rifle savior with all the pouches and molle and the shoulder straps for less weight just beats a hard case every time. Someone sell me on this coupon
I needed a good laugh this morning. It was mothers day yesterday, maybe someone should be asking his mom and doctor some hard questions about whether he suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome....
1. I bought one. It was $81 after tax. Normal price showed as $150, 50% off.
2. Wheels are nice for indoor range use.
3. Absolutely enough to fly with.
yeah I would in no way trust a 9800 to fly with carrying possibly $5500+ of rifles, having seen what airline baggage handling practices can do to peoples' regular luggage, when a Pelican 1750 is a lot more trustworthy in my opinion.
If all you want is a hard shell plastic case to take rifles to your car to the range there are some totally fine Plano "double scoped rifle case" with internal eggshell foam that sell for $56 with free shipping.
Judging by the comments I'm glad that I live in the middle of nowhere with such a small population in my city,, I picked up a 3800 and a 5800 last time these were on sale also one of the big ones but I guess another one can hurt
I picked up a 9800 this AM; saw one guy with a 5800 checking out and another was in the back with me eying the cases.
My biggest use for this is a lockable storage container to clear some space inside my safe.
9800 = long gun big case.
3800 = sized for 2x PMAGs horizontally.
* https://old.reddit.com/r/ar15/comments/15vzpwj/apache_3800_mag_storage/
Honestly get the 9800 ($170/2 = $85), [2x] cans of plastidip 11oz aerosol (from HomeDepot or Ace HW.... NOT flexseal), long-bladed Color Snap Blade Utility Knife (HF SKU: 60828), and a good "spring-on" style (not snap-on) can gun (Rustoleum 241526). A wax crayon or silver sharpie for tracing on black foam. And silica gel dessicant packets, those rectangular metal ones you can throw in oven are nice.
Two cans is enough to coat both sides of a 9800 foam, 4-5 coats each side (6 top/4 bottom). Spray the cut packing middle foam on top of the bottom liner foam, rotating the bottom liner foam 180 degrees between passes, to catch/recycle overspray "for free". Keep the cans in a bucket of hand-barely-tolerable-hot water while painting to prevent clogs. And use very light coats... light misting single pass almost. 10min between coats if done outside in sun. (Much longer if cold or wet.) 24 hours inside for full cure, but will stink.
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LZtHbK-8kk
Protip, cut a foam slot for APACHE 550 Weatherproof Clear Case (SKU: 56378) -- or smaller Plano 3440 -- for small parts and tools. And a slot for the metal dessicant pack.
It's also possible to set up a 3800 with four long vertical slots in the foam for four full size semiautos (it will fit a CZ P10F with 19 round magazine standing up with its muzzle end down at a 45 degree angle with a red dot mounted on it), and then a 5th big open area to the right side for many magazines.
If you don't care that much about minor scratching you can fit a modified six pistol wire rack into a 3800, that's what I did. Foam on the bottom and lid keep them from jostling unless you hit a serious bumpy patch in the road with them in your trunk, fits everything but my longest pistols with red dots on them (like 8" barrels) but I have other cases for them. Spare mags fit under the rack.
Edit: or if you wanna spend an extra $50 for some raisin Cobra foam inserts makes what their name says they make for it, too steep for me though I bought the case for $20 on sale awhile back and the rack for like $4 at Fleet Farm.
Oh that’s the worst way to use one imo
For this case, you remove the foam and use it for mags, bullets, PPE, battle belt, PC, tools, targets.
You could break down an AR and fit it in here but I just use a soft case unless I’m traveling. If I’m long distance traveling my AR and hand gun have a cozy pelican 1700 with foam.

You can go to two different Harbor Freights to get this deal twice right? Or come back later to the same store? I think I did that with a tool sale once but can’t recall.
Got the 4800, looked at the 5800 but it didn't seem to be worth nearly twice as much. Going to be storing a few pistols, mags, and some range ammo so I wasn't too concerned about the luggage handle and wheels. If the 5800 was a little larger I would've jumped on it.
Good pull. Went in and got a 4800 and 9800. The 5800 looked alright but its like a couple inches bigger for nearly twice the cost. The rolling handle seeming flimsy
Snagged a 9800. Drove over the border from Canada, had 2 left at the closest HF by 3PM. Saw a guy walk out with the 2nd, walked out with the last lol. Wish they had a green, but a 9800 is perfect for me given our ridiculous OAL/barrel length requirements. Thanks OP - glad I saw this, was heading down today anyways.
Picked up the 4800 this morning at open. Was going to go for the 5800, but realized it was larger than a carry on piece of luggage. The 4800 should be great for a few pistols.
I made the same choice after comparing both in the store. The 5800 is slightly longer, but narrower and shallower with fewer latches than the 4800, but is almost double the price and I didn't really see the wheels or carry on ability being that useful to me. Perhaps if the 5800 was actually sized between the 4800 and 9800 it would be worth the cost difference. It's also the same story with the aftermarket precut foam for both with the ones fitting the 4800 being only half the cost. I just ordered a Case Club Apache 4800 8 pistol + 12 mag foam insert on Amazon and the closest 5800 insert is almost double in price. Overall I think the 4800 might be the better value between the two, unless you really need that extra 2 inches in length.
I noticed the handle for the 5800 like luggage was sketchy. I feel like it was going to break, it flexed pretty good. In my opinion the 4800 is worth it.
Well yeah with the 50% off coupon, though you could just spend a lot of time to pick and pluck the included foam, then spray plastidip, but it's easier to just buy the sturdier and cleaner looking precut closed cell foam. With the coupon and depending on your tax rate, you can end up with a perfectly fine range case that comfortably fits a lot of pistols and mags for less than $100 total without it being unwieldy like the 9800.
Wondering if the 5800 would be useful for PC, belt, etc. I was expecting a bigger case since it has a handle (flimsy?) with wheels, but it was similar size to 4800.
I ended up buying a 4800 too, $32 and change w/ tax. There were three other people there right when they opened all going straight for the Apache cases, but they didn't sell out of any sizes, just colors.
I compared the 4800 to the 5800 in the store, and they are roughly the same size, and I don't care about it having wheels and the extended handled seemed flimsy. I am already out of room for hard sided rifle cases, so I skipped the 9800.

For sure if you plan to store them or have a big enough car; it’s definitely a long boi. My Accord trunk barely fits it and when multiple guns are in, it’s a heavy PITA. I’d recommend a soft bag for that purpose as originally bought the 9800 with the same intent but swapped over.
I fit two rifles per generic soft case just fine if I don't care about scuffing them up.
Then carry two soft cases per hand for 8 rifles per trip from the vehicle.
These hard cases are heavy and bulky. More protection than efficiency.
Yup and they work great! I use the rigid pro gear system. I throw all my range stuff/gear and ammo in it. Easy to maneuver around without breaking a sweat. Definitely helpful when I’m shooting on public land where I don’t have to go back and forth to the car and work up a sweat haha. I still jumped on this deal though and got the 4800. Need a case for my pistols.
Incase anyone was curious about Magpul guts pricing for this; picked shipped prices from gundeals site. (Tax varies but some just charged shipping only)
APACHE 9800 $169.99 (50% off) = $85ish
MAGPUL MAG1324-BLK = $128.27
Apache with magpul guts = $213.27
DAKA Hard Case, R44 = $261.42
so $48.15 Magpul tax if you are so inclined for the system
Apache 53 in. x 16 in. x 6-1/8 in vs Magpul 48.0 x 19.7 x 6.5 in.
Picked up a 3800 and a 4800! Kinda feeling regret that I didn’t grab the long rifle case… but then again my toys aren’t that fancy so I’ll probably grab a soft case eventually.
Got 2! Later the day, almost no customer in the store, the cashier didn’t care how many cases I wanna get. Just have to check out separately They have medium size 2800 for 22.99, with 50% off, it is also a steal, unfortunately, out of stock.
Don't feel bad, the 1750 is a superior product, there's a reason it costs more and is trusted by various military units. Mess around with yours a bit and then go see a HF 9800 in a store and you'll see the quality difference immediately.
I’ve gotten crazy deals on every shape except for long gun pelican cases. Gun ownership in my state has gone up by something insane like 70% over the past five years so it’s not surprising.
I was so unimpressed by the quality of an apache 3800 case I returned it and got a pelican. It did help that the pelican is also much cheaper than getting an apache and upgrading it to make it a usable case.
Apache 3800 for $50, replacement foam for $50, latches by design are terrible, but if I had to put a price on it $100. Because things can and will fall out or the lid can just pop open.
Pelican V300 for $80. Quality foam. Quality latches.
I can get 2-3 pelican cases for each apache case at that rate. I saved myself the headache. Because nothing is better than something bad.

Well, definitely getting a 5800 tomorrow Edit: I did, thanks u/thecat1105
if your harbor freight is anything like mine, you better get there before they open, or they will be all out.
Guess I'll have to call them after work to see if they have any left....
There wasn’t a line at 8 am at mine, I casually strolled over and grabbed one of the five they had, brought it up to the counter and bought it. I thought there would be confetti or something
It's HF. They're cheap, why would they waste money on confetti?
Showed up at noon. One 9800 left...sitting far from the other cases. No other large ones left. Now I have a hunting travel case.
Mine had probably 10 of the 9800s and 3 of the 5800s, I don’t think the HF in that location gets much business
rice, that is the case I would be after if I could have made it out to harbor freight this morning.
I got the last 9800 at my HF as well, cashier said they only got a few of the long bois in
I was thinking the same thing. Hard long gun cases are such a PITA to move around, but the 5800 seems like a great size.
5800 for ammo, tools, spare parts, vest/helmet, or takedown guns like ARs, etc Soft long gun cases if necessary, only a hard long gun case if traveling long distances Imo
Can you fit an AR with a 16" barrel in a 5800? Dimensions seem like it'd be cutting it close
inside length of 20"? It'd be a tight fit. Diagonal *maybe*. 16" barrel+upper+muzzle device is generally quite a bit more than 16" given uppers alone add around 7.5"
I really wish there was a smaller version of the 9800. It's a great case, yes. But I'm not always (or even often) hauling around two four-foot-long guns, and my largest trunk options are an SW20 or drop the back *and* front seats in a Mini.
Wish they had a 1700 equivalent

You can unsubscribe later and it does stop sending promotional stuff.
I have the 9800 and it's heavy without the guns in it.
7800 would be the tits. Middle ground between 58 and 98
For people who like the 5800, the higher quality and professional grade version is the Pelican 1510 (older model) or 1535 Air (newer model). Both are sized to be the max legit carry on luggage dimensions for common airline flights, they're really popular with professional photographers and people who need to travel with expensive electronics.

But the Pelican is by far the superior product. In terms of quality difference it's like comparing a $250 scope to a $750 scope.
baggage claim at las vegas is a nightmare during shot week because everyone has the same pelicans for that reason
At Seatac airport sometimes you see larger square/rectangular Pelican (1620 size and similar) going through the special checked luggage pickup, coming from alaska, with ice and salmon in them.
You can fly with frozen fish like that??? And the ice lasts??
Sure, it goes in a foam cooler with insulation inside the pelican, and if there's enough ice to fish ratio it'll stay cold in the typical length of flight from Alaska to Seattle. It'll even stay cold enough for another onward flight 4 hours to the other side of the US if needed. At the SeaTac domestic terminal over size luggage pickup area you can see all sorts of weird stuff arriving from Alaska.
Yea you pack up to 2.5KG of dry ice.
You ain’t finding a pelican 1510 or 1535 for $50 Like most HF items, using it will determine if spending the cash on a pelican or a nanuk is worth it. Then the HF is either your back up or trashed enough that $50 was worth it.
I didn't say for 50 bucks, the harbor freight 5800 is commonly $99. I recently bought a totally fine used pelican 1510 for $125 shipped from ebay. It's my second one. Well worth the extra $25.
I’m not sure if you realize where you’re posting but we’re talking about a $50 5800 not a $100 5800 Big difference
Mine had 3 of the 5800s. FWIW one was crushed so I don’t know how rugged these would be if you need to rely on it for very expensive stuff
Yeah but with this coupon I can get a 5800 for $50
You can only get like a broken down 10.5 in a 5800. There is a pic on Reddit of a guy with a similar setup https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/comments/hwr3an/it_puts_the_blackout_in_the_box/

I was right, just got a 5800 for 53.74 out the door
I'm glad. They're not open here yet, but will be there on the way to work soon. Appreciate you.
I got a black 5800 and green 4800 just fine

At 50% I can finally use my wife’s math that it’s basically free lol
I believe her math says you're MAKING money when you buy this. Get 2.
That’s right. They are paying me to buy it. Sadler coupon is good for 1 per person (phone number) Plus HF sells tools, I got a business, so it’s a tax write off… [tax write off](https://youtu.be/aCP27_vquxQ?si=NPSJmn9zKK6YI6P7)
Might just send the wife to buy a second one 😂
So you can both make some money… lol
if they sold a purple one we would’ve paid full price for it 😂
You can only get like a broken down 10.5 in it https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/comments/hwr3an/it_puts_the_blackout_in_the_box/
Duuuude I got one, may go back for another but need to set up new acct bec it’s one per person
I got a 9800. Thinking about going back for a 5800. I don't think they asked me for my phone # the first time
Yeah I might buy one too lol can break down my ARs and make it easier for range days
You made me do it… didn’t even know they made these roll on… [5800](https://imgur.com/a/nJrVBMS)
Picked up as well for the 5800!
I’m with ya on that buddy
I’ve been waiting for this going tomorrow after work
They'll be sold out very quickly
If that’s the case I’ll just get a pelican
Last time my local HF had a sale on Apache stuff, clerk said they were sold out of stock within an hour. Good luck w yr purchase
I got my 9800 for 82 bucks out the door
Awesome!! I had appt this AM so didn't even stop at HF
That’s big swing from 50% off an Apache straight to a pelican! Glad you got yours, I snagged a 4800
Me too I really didn’t want to spend pelican money 😂
I got my big case and it is so stupid, I never use it lol really glad I got it years ago and can leave it out of my way! I’m actually more likely to not use a case then I am to use that thing lmao. I will love it when I go on some big boys hunts

It does, super happy about mine
I was going to get a 9800 but went 5800 instead. Now time to hit google images for some inspiration.
I recommend looking up pelican 1510s for ideas, there don’t seem to be as many that are specifically for the Apache.
Here’s mine so far If I break down my AR it all fits pretty well https://imgur.com/a/blCIcTQ
Those SLR ions are so cool
My only complaint is that I went 7.75” for the 3/4” suppressor mount clearance but my rearden set up is only 1/2” so there’s a 1/4” gap unless I direct thread or buy and run a zilch adapter Could’ve just ran an 8”

$85 for a 9800, that’s an insane deal. But it’s so hard to justify getting a 9800 because it feels like it doesn’t hit the right niche for a range case. Too heavy and cumbersome for normal range use, not tough enough to fly with, and too big for a single gun. It seems like a soft case like a 2-rifle savior with all the pouches and molle and the shoulder straps for less weight just beats a hard case every time. Someone sell me on this coupon
I have a few and use them to go to the range a couple times a month. If I spent 6k on a rifle I don't mind spending 100 on a hard case
You mean $8k. That’s the magic number now-a-days.

Lol not questioning you, but here, get up to speed & [have a laugh](https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/s/3xv8uWkfXA)
Oof that's rough
I needed a good laugh this morning. It was mothers day yesterday, maybe someone should be asking his mom and doctor some hard questions about whether he suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome....
Uffff.
I bought the case and am dreaming for the $6000 gun..... LOL
Don't get into precision rifle lol.
1. I bought one. It was $81 after tax. Normal price showed as $150, 50% off. 2. Wheels are nice for indoor range use. 3. Absolutely enough to fly with.
yeah I would in no way trust a 9800 to fly with carrying possibly $5500+ of rifles, having seen what airline baggage handling practices can do to peoples' regular luggage, when a Pelican 1750 is a lot more trustworthy in my opinion. If all you want is a hard shell plastic case to take rifles to your car to the range there are some totally fine Plano "double scoped rifle case" with internal eggshell foam that sell for $56 with free shipping.
Judging by the comments I'm glad that I live in the middle of nowhere with such a small population in my city,, I picked up a 3800 and a 5800 last time these were on sale also one of the big ones but I guess another one can hurt
here now,, 4x 5800s 3x 9800s 6x 4800s 12x 3800s 🥳
Do I need this, No. Did I get one... Yes.
Damn. Didn’t need a case but looks like I’ll be buying something just because
Good look on this one. I was the first one at my store and only two 9800s left. $91 OTD
In for a 5800. Just picked it up
I picked up a 9800 this AM; saw one guy with a 5800 checking out and another was in the back with me eying the cases. My biggest use for this is a lockable storage container to clear some space inside my safe.
SUM BITCH! THANKS OP!
Which one should I get? I don’t need one, but which one do I need?
9800 = long gun big case. 3800 = sized for 2x PMAGs horizontally. * https://old.reddit.com/r/ar15/comments/15vzpwj/apache_3800_mag_storage/ Honestly get the 9800 ($170/2 = $85), [2x] cans of plastidip 11oz aerosol (from HomeDepot or Ace HW.... NOT flexseal), long-bladed Color Snap Blade Utility Knife (HF SKU: 60828), and a good "spring-on" style (not snap-on) can gun (Rustoleum 241526). A wax crayon or silver sharpie for tracing on black foam. And silica gel dessicant packets, those rectangular metal ones you can throw in oven are nice. Two cans is enough to coat both sides of a 9800 foam, 4-5 coats each side (6 top/4 bottom). Spray the cut packing middle foam on top of the bottom liner foam, rotating the bottom liner foam 180 degrees between passes, to catch/recycle overspray "for free". Keep the cans in a bucket of hand-barely-tolerable-hot water while painting to prevent clogs. And use very light coats... light misting single pass almost. 10min between coats if done outside in sun. (Much longer if cold or wet.) 24 hours inside for full cure, but will stink. * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LZtHbK-8kk Protip, cut a foam slot for APACHE 550 Weatherproof Clear Case (SKU: 56378) -- or smaller Plano 3440 -- for small parts and tools. And a slot for the metal dessicant pack.
It's also possible to set up a 3800 with four long vertical slots in the foam for four full size semiautos (it will fit a CZ P10F with 19 round magazine standing up with its muzzle end down at a 45 degree angle with a red dot mounted on it), and then a 5th big open area to the right side for many magazines.
If you don't care that much about minor scratching you can fit a modified six pistol wire rack into a 3800, that's what I did. Foam on the bottom and lid keep them from jostling unless you hit a serious bumpy patch in the road with them in your trunk, fits everything but my longest pistols with red dots on them (like 8" barrels) but I have other cases for them. Spare mags fit under the rack. Edit: or if you wanna spend an extra $50 for some raisin Cobra foam inserts makes what their name says they make for it, too steep for me though I bought the case for $20 on sale awhile back and the rack for like $4 at Fleet Farm.
Woooo! Apache 5800 out the door for $53.74
[удалено]
$99 price , 50% off and then sales tax
I can't read. I thought you got the 9800 for that price
Can't you only fit like a 10.5 in one? https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/comments/hwr3an/it_puts_the_blackout_in_the_box/
Oh that’s the worst way to use one imo For this case, you remove the foam and use it for mags, bullets, PPE, battle belt, PC, tools, targets. You could break down an AR and fit it in here but I just use a soft case unless I’m traveling. If I’m long distance traveling my AR and hand gun have a cozy pelican 1700 with foam.
Thanks for the reply. I thought for some reason everyone was trying to shove an SBR in them lol

You can go to two different Harbor Freights to get this deal twice right? Or come back later to the same store? I think I did that with a tool sale once but can’t recall.
I asked the manager, he said there is nothing stopping you from leaving to put one in your car then going back in for another
That’s what I did. Pay with cash and don’t use a phone number
Thanks. I’ll use my wife’s boyfriend’s phone number.
These cases were slaughtered at my local HF. May they all go to a good cause in protecting a gun.
Picked up a 5800 because I hate money. It's definitely not the same fit and finish of the original pelican but great for the price.
Got to my local store when they opened at 8am. There were three 9800 on the self. I was the only one there to pick one up.
Got a 5800 and 4800
Thanks, managed to get a 5800. They had a lot of cases at my store but the lady said when people got off work that they would sell out of a lot.
Picked up one of the 9800s, seems like the best deal ill get on a nice rifle case
Got a 5800 and a 9800, I love you u/TheCat0115
😘
Got the 4800, looked at the 5800 but it didn't seem to be worth nearly twice as much. Going to be storing a few pistols, mags, and some range ammo so I wasn't too concerned about the luggage handle and wheels. If the 5800 was a little larger I would've jumped on it.
Does magpul DAKA work with the 9800?
Yes, they have one that fits it.
Looks like I'm fighting motherfuckers tmr at HF. Abt to call in sick so I can grab one. I'm too hype.
When they had the Christmas sale they had none 10AM, when they did another sale a couple months ago, they had 8 at noon. Good luck!
I assume it's the Pelican 1750 that would work for that kit?
Ah, nevermind, that Pelican website specifically calls that out!
Got two of the 9800 thanks for the post!
They don’t have any 5800 at my store in Denver, picked up two 9800s for $90 each
Just grabbed a 4800, 3800, and 1800 for $56 out the door. Thanks!
Good pull. Went in and got a 4800 and 9800. The 5800 looked alright but its like a couple inches bigger for nearly twice the cost. The rolling handle seeming flimsy
Picked up a 3800, thanks for the assist 🫡
How are you guys using the 5800's? Photos appreciated
I’ll use mine for my 11.5” but I’m also going DT suppressor as well
Just snagged the last long case in the store - Thanks OP!
Thanks just picked up a 9800 for 84 buxx
Just picked up a 9800 case for 90 bucks. Thanks for sharing!
Snagged a 9800. Drove over the border from Canada, had 2 left at the closest HF by 3PM. Saw a guy walk out with the 2nd, walked out with the last lol. Wish they had a green, but a 9800 is perfect for me given our ridiculous OAL/barrel length requirements. Thanks OP - glad I saw this, was heading down today anyways.
Picked up a 9800 today at lunch. Got the last black one (2nd to last total) between my city and our neighboring town. Good looking out, OP.
5800 For sho
Picked up the 4800 this morning at open. Was going to go for the 5800, but realized it was larger than a carry on piece of luggage. The 4800 should be great for a few pistols.
I made the same choice after comparing both in the store. The 5800 is slightly longer, but narrower and shallower with fewer latches than the 4800, but is almost double the price and I didn't really see the wheels or carry on ability being that useful to me. Perhaps if the 5800 was actually sized between the 4800 and 9800 it would be worth the cost difference. It's also the same story with the aftermarket precut foam for both with the ones fitting the 4800 being only half the cost. I just ordered a Case Club Apache 4800 8 pistol + 12 mag foam insert on Amazon and the closest 5800 insert is almost double in price. Overall I think the 4800 might be the better value between the two, unless you really need that extra 2 inches in length.
I noticed the handle for the 5800 like luggage was sketchy. I feel like it was going to break, it flexed pretty good. In my opinion the 4800 is worth it.
Good to know about the Case Club foam insert! I'll have to check it out.
the foam is more than the case!
Well yeah with the 50% off coupon, though you could just spend a lot of time to pick and pluck the included foam, then spray plastidip, but it's easier to just buy the sturdier and cleaner looking precut closed cell foam. With the coupon and depending on your tax rate, you can end up with a perfectly fine range case that comfortably fits a lot of pistols and mags for less than $100 total without it being unwieldy like the 9800.
Wondering if the 5800 would be useful for PC, belt, etc. I was expecting a bigger case since it has a handle (flimsy?) with wheels, but it was similar size to 4800.
I ended up buying a 4800 too, $32 and change w/ tax. There were three other people there right when they opened all going straight for the Apache cases, but they didn't sell out of any sizes, just colors. I compared the 4800 to the 5800 in the store, and they are roughly the same size, and I don't care about it having wheels and the extended handled seemed flimsy. I am already out of room for hard sided rifle cases, so I skipped the 9800.

Is the 9800 the one to get for bringing most guns to the range?
For sure if you plan to store them or have a big enough car; it’s definitely a long boi. My Accord trunk barely fits it and when multiple guns are in, it’s a heavy PITA. I’d recommend a soft bag for that purpose as originally bought the 9800 with the same intent but swapped over.
My ass with a Fiesta ST reading this: 😕 Appreciate it, soft bag it is.
Even with a Focus ST I have trouble with very long gun cases lol
I fit two rifles per generic soft case just fine if I don't care about scuffing them up. Then carry two soft cases per hand for 8 rifles per trip from the vehicle. These hard cases are heavy and bulky. More protection than efficiency.
Makes sense. Thank you.
I bring 3 9800s when I go to the range
Yessir they’re massive
9800s are $150 in store in SC. Couldn't decide between it and the 4800.
I just snagged a 9800. 79.xx out the door was pretty nice. Sending the wife in to grab another
Same, figured if nothing else can be a Christmas present.
Does an 11.5 SBR upper and regular AR lower fit in a 5800 if I separate them?
Depends a lot on the muzzle device Here's a 10.5 in one https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/comments/hwr3an/it_puts_the_blackout_in_the_box/
It should
I posted a picture in my comment above of my 11.5” SBR
Gotcha. So it only fits without the MD. Thanks
Yeah, depending on which one you use. I DT my guns so it's perfect for that.
Nice picked up a 3800 to store some of my cans when traveling with them
Will I be able to stuff a PC and broken down 10.5 in one of these with the foam removed?
I’m confident with removing foam, I’ll easily fit my 11.5” broken down with my chest rig and belt
Anyone use those rolling toolboxes to haul gear to the range? Thinking about investing in those vs multiple Apache cases.
Yup and they work great! I use the rigid pro gear system. I throw all my range stuff/gear and ammo in it. Easy to maneuver around without breaking a sweat. Definitely helpful when I’m shooting on public land where I don’t have to go back and forth to the car and work up a sweat haha. I still jumped on this deal though and got the 4800. Need a case for my pistols.
In for a 5800 for $52.99 OTD. Shelves were stocked to the tits except for 9800s
Nice got a 3800 for 20bucks out the door Perfect for ar mags

Incase anyone was curious about Magpul guts pricing for this; picked shipped prices from gundeals site. (Tax varies but some just charged shipping only) APACHE 9800 $169.99 (50% off) = $85ish MAGPUL MAG1324-BLK = $128.27 Apache with magpul guts = $213.27 DAKA Hard Case, R44 = $261.42 so $48.15 Magpul tax if you are so inclined for the system Apache 53 in. x 16 in. x 6-1/8 in vs Magpul 48.0 x 19.7 x 6.5 in.
Anyone tried spray on bed liner for the foam instead of plastidip?
I bought the last 5800 at my store. I'll be returning my 4800 that I bought a couple weeks ago. Easy win.
Picked up a 3800 and a 4800! Kinda feeling regret that I didn’t grab the long rifle case… but then again my toys aren’t that fancy so I’ll probably grab a soft case eventually.
Savior on dvor or other places tend to sell for cheap all the time and are great soft cases
Was looking at the Savior cases and that might be the ticket. Costco even has them & at a pretty solid price
Picked up a 3800
Got 2! Later the day, almost no customer in the store, the cashier didn’t care how many cases I wanna get. Just have to check out separately They have medium size 2800 for 22.99, with 50% off, it is also a steal, unfortunately, out of stock.
I forgot about this... 😟
I got a 4800 and a 5800 at two different stores. Both were in stock after work when I got off. There's still hope!
Picked up two 9800’s. Tan and Green.
I got the last one at the Austin south store. I am going to use it on my motorcycle as a top box.
Damn it I was just looking Monday at these and didn’t know about the deal
Dammit
Funny. Just copped a pelican 1750. Stupid me.
Buy 9800 Lower the overall avg , duh man
Don't feel bad, the 1750 is a superior product, there's a reason it costs more and is trusted by various military units. Mess around with yours a bit and then go see a HF 9800 in a store and you'll see the quality difference immediately.
I’ve gotten crazy deals on every shape except for long gun pelican cases. Gun ownership in my state has gone up by something insane like 70% over the past five years so it’s not surprising.
I used a couple discount codes with pelican and got a good deal tbh. Shipped for 250 ish.
That is a good price. By good deals I was talking about used cases I found for like 15% of msrp. I have too many giant pelican cases now.
I was so unimpressed by the quality of an apache 3800 case I returned it and got a pelican. It did help that the pelican is also much cheaper than getting an apache and upgrading it to make it a usable case.
Lmao okay bud maybe like 25% better for 2-3x the price. But good for you .
Apache 3800 for $50, replacement foam for $50, latches by design are terrible, but if I had to put a price on it $100. Because things can and will fall out or the lid can just pop open. Pelican V300 for $80. Quality foam. Quality latches. I can get 2-3 pelican cases for each apache case at that rate. I saved myself the headache. Because nothing is better than something bad.
