The Bureau has a streamlined, functional, purpose-built interior. We crafted this bag with the end user in mind. We wanted to ensure there were plenty of storage options and the perfect amount of weapon retention. This case was created for the SBR or pistol AR of your choice and should fit any 10.5″ or shorter barreled rifle.
SBR Case Dimensions
We went to great lengths to make sure we had the perfect measurements for our discreet SBR case. We factored in the most popular SBR barrel lengths as well as overall lengths. The Bureau is 32 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 12 inches tall.
Purpose Built Case
The Bureau rifle case was specifically designed to fit Short Barreled Rifles(SBR), AR Pistols, and Personal Defense Weapons(PDW) with or without a Pistol Stabilizing Brace. The Bureau is ideally designed to securely protect your firearms and necessary shooting accessories, such as magazines and ammo.
Dimensions
The Bureau’s interior dimensions are 32 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 11 inches tall.
The Bureau’s exterior dimensions are 32.5″ x 4″ x 12″.
This discreet rifle case will accommodate rifles with collapsible or folding stocks and most rifles with barrels under 10.5 inches.
Tough Construction
We chose long-lasting Cordura Fabric for the Bureau to ensure its construction meets the highest quality standards.
Built-In Toughness
Much like The Bronx, we don’t want your rifle to be at the mercy of the elements so we use 1″ thick hardened foam to make this bag rock solid.
Sling Style Carry
Two External D-rings allow versatility of strap placement: shoulder carry or quiver carry (sling). With The Bureau’s no-slip strap pad, it will carry great no matter whether you shoulder carry or sling carry.
Discreet Everyday Design
Our classic low-profile design for this rifle case is discreet and designed for those looking for something less tactical and in-your-face. But less tactical doesn’t mean less storage. We’ve added a large exterior pocket to store your must-have accessories and keep them within arm’s reach.
Modular Attachment System
At Lynx Defense, we don’t believe in wasted space. That’s why we included a full hook-and-loop back wall of the bag, which acts as a modular attachment system to safely attach extra pockets, medical kits, or whatever else you may need without worrying about damaging your firearm.
2 x Internal Zipper Pockets
Our two internal zipper pockets can store magazines, ammo, hearing protection, and more inside The Bureau. These pockets provide ample storage for your everyday carry and range needs. The pockets span the full length of the lid panel and are separated in the middle, providing two individual pockets.
3 x Configurable Security Straps
Storing your firearm with standard-issue security straps can be frustrating, especially when not in the right place. Our three interior straps are configurable, so you can control how many straps to use and when to use them.
The Covert SBR Case Built for You!
Since releasing The Bureau in March 2020, it has quickly become one of our most popular cases. We are excited to continue to make a world-class range of gear for our customers. If you are still deciding what case to purchase, see why we recommend a discreet rifle case.
Handcrafted in the USA
Every Lynx Defense bag is carefully constructed in Selma, North Carolina.
Made With 1000D Cordura Fabric
This SBR bag is made with 1000D Cordura Brand fabric, which means it will stand the test of time and provide fantastic protection for your short-barrel rifle.
Fully Modular SBR Case
Creating a bag that will fit every firearm is impossible, but we strive to do so. We have also focused on ensuring that every The Bureau rifle case user can customize it to their specific needs. We created a full Velcro loop back wall to allow you to put anything from our line of attachments to your attachments, morale patches, and more.
Our Cases are Under Promised. Overbuilt.
Our number one priority in all of our products is durability. We double-stitch our bags to ensure that they will last. We are so confident in our products we back them with a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty.
You’ve done the research and work to acquire a short-barrel rifle, so you want to protect it with the best Short-Barrel Rifle case available. Before purchasing a case for your SBR, consider these four features.
In true Lynx Defense fashion, The Bureau is handmade in the United States of America.
Just got the bag yesterday so this is just my initial impressions. Not only does this easily look like the best rifle bag I’ve ever owned, it’s hand made in the USA. I bought the made to order Bureau with the new 32″ size, which is perfect for a 14.5″ AR. Although it stated 2-3 week lead time, mine was shipped 2-3 DAYS after ordering. On top of that I received updates of the progress while it was being made. Once it arrived I knew I made another great choice to pair it up with the Concord bag. The foam they use is extremely stout, so feel confident it will protect your rifle. The structure/ shape is perfect. Great zippers. Worth noting, although I don’t put ammo in a rifle bag, it does fit G code bang boxes. (I have velcro installed on the bottom) The only extremely minor shortcoming may be the simple carry handle, but it is sewn robustly and unlikely an issue. Too early to say but I am curious how well the interior velcro will hold the rifle and other things since it’s a type of velcro that’s not quite as aggressive as some others (LBX Tactical for instance) but again, doubt it will be an issue, just making my this as detailed as I can. So, yeah I spent over $750 on two bags, and have zero regrets. The point for me was to buy bags that will last for the rest of my life and could be passed down to my son. Superb company, perfect comms, top tier materials and dare a say an almost* perfect product. Thank you Lynx!

The Bureau is contracted very well. An MP5 clone, extra magazines, and a Glock pistol ride comfortably in the discreet bag. I haven’t encountered any issues with the bag and don’t expect to.

My biggest concern when buying any gear is both quality and origin. The firearm industry is jam packed with low quality dropshipped, white label gear that focuses on clever marketing. Some of which I’m guilty of falling for. I bought the Bureau bag at the same time that I bought another very well known companies bag for the exact same price.
The quality of this bag is unmatched. To say it is well built is an understatement. Leaps and bounds ahead of anything else. Also Lynx’s commitment to sourcing US made material down to the zippers is absolutely amazing and says quite a lot. I also love the fact that the bag is very low profile and doesn’t scream “tactical”. The bag has everything I need.

I just got my 3rd! Favorite overall rifle/braced pistol bag. The structure and quality of the latest two are incredible. They’ve definitely made some product improvements.
I’ve got 1 bag I run with no accessories for multi-use and the other 2 dedicated for 9mm subguns and AR15s with the ability to pre-stage magazines in the bags.
With a law folder this bag easily fits a 10.5 AR with a can on it. My Honey Badger SD is also a perfect fit with the stock collapsed. The size makes it less awkward to carry than the large Bronx and I don’t have to worry about taking my can off like I do with some guns when using the Byte.
Also fits my AK74 with a folder fantastic. If you’re careful you can fit two sub guns in this bag.
The front pocket also works great for things like boxes of ammo or an extra magazine or two. I can’t recommend enough if you’ve got folders on your guns.

Just received my “Bureau” and like it. Got two extra pistol attachments and two 9 mil magazine attachments. The Bureau holds it all … a folded stock, 11″ SBR, two 9 pistols (Sig 229 and P365) with enough room for two 9 mil clip attachments (total 8 clips) and two 556 – 30 round clip attachments. I’m impressed with the quality. I think it’s a great looking case too.

Lynx Defense does it right. I keep an AR pistol in the truck with me at all times. I don’t even think about anyone looking in the truck and seeing a typical range bag. The Bureau is totally inconspicuous while keeping your SBR/AR pistol warm. You can configure the inside to your liking and there is enough storage for mags. Quality all around.

I have many rifle/pistol cases. I bought the Bureau for a recent SBR purchase. The quality is evident as soon as you open the bag and the functionality of the bag fits the purpose perfectly. I intend to replace all of my range bags with Lynx Defense products! As expected, American made is just made better!

This is really the perfect case for me. My favorite AR is my SBR 10.5 with a folding stock. I wanted something that was economical in terms of available space and this has the exact perfect dimensions. I also have exactly enough room for my CZP01 and 3 mags once I installed the handgun add-on. This is the perfect range bag and also a perfect go bag in case I need to leave in a hurry. I can’t say enough good things about it. I feel like it is definitely worth the price.

Have to admit I was very skeptical that this case (The Bureau) would live up to my expectations given the rather hefty price tag, but decided to take a chance. Boy am I glad I did! I have owned many different weapon cases of all shapes and sizes and tend to be very tough on my equipment. Just about every one I’ve owned have failed me in some regard…stitching coming apart, zipper breaking, torn fabric, or poor padding placement. As soon as I opened the box I immediately knew this case would be different. The first thing that stood out was that it is padded on ALL sides yet is not bulky in the least. Then I noticed how perfect and rugged all the stitching is and how rugged the zippers appear to be. Lastly, this is just a darn good looking case and perfect for discreetly transporting your weapon. With the zippered storage compartment on the front and two inside, plenty of room for storing magazines and other accessories, and robust Velcro straps for securing the weapon inside the case. I am 100% confident this case will far exceed my expectations and is by far the best case I’ve ever owned and worth every penny and then some. I will be buying more without a doubt!

This case goes with me any time I travel. I keep my 10.5 inch DD MK18 pistol in with a Patagonia Atom Sling bag staged with 3 magazines and medical gear. It fits in the case nicely. I can quickly open the case and get the sling bag on and MK18 out quickly. I also have the 5.11 Covert Case which blends in well but makes a crappy backpack and an off looking case that doesn’t carry as well for me. I usually have a backpack and my Osprey rolling luggage when as well at the Bureau when I enter a hotel and I never get odd looks. The Bureau blends in great and looks like I’m carrying anything but a gun. I can’t recommend it enough!

I was looking for a smaller SBR/AR Pistol type Bag & along came the “Bureau!”
Since I already have the Bronx & love it, I decided to give it a go!
When I received the Bureau I gave it a good look over & everything was so well made, Just as I would expect from Lynx Defense. After setting it up with my 10.5 AR pistol & many mags & even my soft carrier..I was hooked!
It is also very discreet & non flashy so no one knows what’s inside & I really like that aspect of it!
If you are on the fence about getting the “Bureau” I highly recommend getting it, you won’t be disappointed!
I also really appreciate The fact That it’s made with high quality materials & right here in America!
