The Nanuk 985AR06 delivers professional-grade protection for AR-15 rifles and accessories in a rugged polymer shell. This 36-inch hard case features precision-cut foam inserts that secure rifles with extended barrels and attached optics during transport and storage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard rifle cases, the Nanuk 985 incorporates PowerClaw superior latching system with double-throw latches that create an airtight seal. The case meets IP67 waterproof standards and withstands impacts that would destroy conventional soft cases. Military-grade polymer construction resists cracking in extreme temperatures from -40°F to 140°F.
Key Features
- 36-inch internal length accommodates AR-15s with 20-inch barrels plus muzzle devices
