Voodoo



To hold my XM177 and my M4 along with my HK, I bought a budget rifle case from Voodoo Tactical.  The one I chose was the Voodoo Tactical 36" Padded Weapons Case - Army Digital Camo 15-7613.


I read a few reviews on their products via Amazon and thought its worth a try. After all, I didn't feel like spending $140 on a Boyt bag and at $89 - I thought it was worth the risk.

The bag itself is well made. It seems durable but I haven't put it through a lot of wear and tear yet.

General Purpose: Protect the rifles while in transit from home to range. Using it at the range as a mat.


Storage: Good, plenty of zippered pockets to store magazines, pistols and ammo.

Zippers: Strong big zippers but not YKK zippers.

Material: Good, seems durable but again long term use will see how well it holds up




Straps: Weak. The straps and D rings look weak. I ended up swapping the strap from my overpriced Boyt bag for the Voodoo straps. The Voodoo bag also came with backpack straps but I doubt I'd ever carry this like a backpack. The straps are the only complaint I have with this bag.






Summary: Overall, I like this bag a lot. With shipping the bag came in just over $100 and for a bag that is made out of durable nylon, plenty of storage, good padding, decent carry handle: 4 stars. I'd buy another one if I needed one but I think the next thing in queue is a CMMG Evolution 22LR conversion kit for the XM177 and the M4.

Rattle Can - HK 416

Rainy Saturday so I decided to paint my HK416 using Krylon Ultra Flat Camo paints.  I used to Duracoat and Cerakote everything the color I wanted but I decided that that was overkill.  All you really need is just a rattle can.  The Duracoat/Cerakote finish is durable but what I don't like is the process where some of the "painters" for Cerakote remove your anodizing so it "sticks" better.  The anodizing is for hardness and protection. Cerakote doesn't have the same hardness - SO STOP CERAKOTING everything and allowing these guys to strip off your protective finish.  Simply spray over it if anything - that what I do when I apply it at home. What else are you supposed to do on a rainy day weekend?
