Addressing the need to secure long guns for the long haul with our frame platforms, our Rifle scabbard was originally designed to carry the PGM Hécate II .50 BMG rifle for the French military units, but it needed to fit smaller precision rifles as well.  The necessity to adjust the ride height of the rifle led to the two-part Scabbard system. There is an inner muzzle cone rides on two tracks on either side of the reinforced tunnel.   Easily piggyback any Duplex / ARK compatible bag by mounting it on top of the scabbard via the internal core that is exposed with the front vertical zipper. While the Rifle Scabbard is designed to work best with the 22” ARK frames, it will fit on any of our Newplex or Duplex frames. The Scabbard is made from 500d Cordura, 500d padded cordura, silicone fiberglass insulated sheet, laser cut laminate and milspec webbing. There are three webbing tabs at the top of the back of the scabbard to hook the top strap into for securing the weapon. The top drawstring has a dual posi-locking cord closure that will keep the rifle centered in the scabbard and eliminate side to side sway. The bottom 11” of muzzle cone front and back are lined with fiberglass to hold up to heat from a suppressor or warm barrel.  THIS WON’T KEEP A RED-HOT CAN FROM MELTING THE FABRIC ON THE OTHER SIDE, please let your gun cool before inserting the firearm. The muzzle cone has padded cordura front and back to protect your gun.  The Scabbard allows you adjust the length of the system whether you are using a suppressor or need a more compact rig for riding dirt bikes or horses, all while keeping it protected.
