The Nanuk 985AR01 delivers military-grade protection for AR-15 rifles and tactical equipment with its NK-7 resin construction and customizable foam interior. This wheeled hard case meets the demands of law enforcement, competitive shooters, and serious enthusiasts who need reliable transport protection.
What Makes This Different
Built from NK-7 resin instead of standard injection-molded plastic, this case withstands extreme temperature variations from -40°F to 140°F without cracking or warping. The PowerClaw latching system creates an airtight seal that's 50% stronger than traditional case latches, while the integrated pressure release valve prevents vacuum lock during altitude changes. Professional foam padding provides custom-cut protection that absorbs impact forces up to 15G.
