The American company Magpul is probably the most well-known manufacturer of high-quality aftermarket accessories and parts for firearms. And we can speak of high-quality workmanship in the case of the DAKA Hard Case series of weapon cases, including the model designated as LR53.
The manufacturer states that the DAKA Hard Case LR53 addresses many of the shortcomings of the existing range of weapon cases. It is a system for transporting and storing weapons that is more reliable, durable, and easier to handle and use.
The Magpul DAKA Hard Case LR53 itself can be considered a premium solution for transporting and storing long weapons, but when additionally equipped with the innovative DAKA GRID organizer, you can customize and optimize the entire system to suit your specific needs. And this organizer comes included in the basic package.
This case has seen improvements on all fronts. There are better latches, recessed lock covers, ergonomic handles, and reliable wheels, as well as a surface free of places that could potentially snag when sliding across various surfaces.
The Magpul DAKA GRID organizer, which is included in the package, is made up of expanded polypropylene (EPP) panels that are placed at the bottom of the case and complemented by adjustable blocks of the same material. You can arrange these exactly according to your needs and, more importantly, according to the equipment you will be carrying inside. This organizer will protect, sort, and prevent your equipment from moving.
In addition to long weapons, such as rifles, optics, muzzle devices, or spare magazines also need to be sorted during transport and storage. If you replace any part of the equipment with another, you can easily and correspondingly change the positions of the EPP blocks. This is an intuitive modular solution.
Returning to the case itself, it is equipped, among other things, with functional and comfortable handles. They operate on a hinge, so when not in use, you can simply fold them down, saving space when stacking multiple cases together, for example. There are two carrying handles, with a third handle located opposite the wheels to facilitate towing the case on the ground.
The design of the latches is also well thought out. They include recessed lock covers (the locks themselves need to be purchased separately). There are also grommets for these locks, positioned to ensure that the locks placed there are not damaged in the event of a fall.
Along the edges of the main compartment of the case are smaller pockets that serve as a buffer zone in case of a fall and also as storage for smaller items and equipment. The sealing of the case is also resistant to moisture, dust, and weather conditions.
Other well-thought-out details of the Magpul DAKA Hard Case include loops on the base that allow for stackable storage of multiple cases. Recesses for straps ensure that any straps remain in place, preventing them from shifting during transport. It is also worth noting that, like the vast majority of Magpul products, the case itself is made directly in the United States.
