30"?!
Get a shorter gun, or a folder, or both.

10.5 in barrel=28 in total. i wont go any shorter on an AR. im trying to avoid a folder as its one more thing to do before deploying and another weak point. IMO

All AR-15's are break downs...extended pins only add a few seconds to deployment.

Law tactical makes a buffer tube hinge. I carry for work and play

Putting a upper on a lower takes a lot longer than flipping a butt stock back into position

Jansport hiking pack. The Kalamath 55 has the right internal dimensions to fit the specs you gave.
I however think you should seriously consider a smaller weapon or one with a folding stock. A smaller, standard sized college backpack is much more discreet.
Another option that may just fit if you keep the OAL down is the 5.11 discreet sling bag.

Discreet bags/carry of a long gun is not fast. You are playing Marie Antoinette in this play...

Re: EDC backpack for rifle
Have you thought about trying a PDW stock, could get your overall length down a few more inches. I've used the Strike Industries Viper PDW stock on my SBRs and they have been flawless. No proprietary BCG and cheaper than some of the other PDW options out there.
Pictured is my 9" 300 BLK, but also have one on a 10.5" 5.56 and the difference isn't much. Can't remember the overall length, but I'll measure and throw it up here later.
