Nanuk Cases
Nanuk (made by Plasticase Inc.) builds waterproof hard cases for pistols, rifles, and ammunition, using resin and polyethylene construction with closed-cell foam padding and lockable latches to protect firearms during transport and storage. The lineup spans compact 2-up pistol cases up to full-length AR-15 and takedown rifle cases, giving buyers options across a wide range of storage and transport needs.

Pistol Cases: 910, 925, and 935 Series
The 910 Classic and 910 Glock-Compatible cases hold 2 pistols with closed-cell foam padding, with the Glock variant offering a purpose-cut foam layout for that platform specifically. The 925 steps up to a 4-up configuration, and the 935 to 6-up, letting range-goers and instructors transport more pistols in one case rather than carrying several smaller cases.
AR-15 and Rifle Cases: 985 and 990
The 985 AR-15 case and its Takedown variant (985-TAK6) are sized specifically for the AR-15's dimensions, with the Takedown case built shorter to accommodate a rifle broken down at the takedown pins for more compact storage. The 990 offers a longer, full-length rifle case for those who don't need takedown-specific sizing. The 995 series extends further for rifles needing the longest available length with lockable latches.
Waterproof Construction: NK-7 Resin vs. Polyethylene
Nanuk's NK-7 resin cases (like the 985) offer a different construction than the polyethylene cases (like the 990), both rated waterproof but with the resin construction generally considered more impact-resistant for harder use or shipping. Both use the same closed-cell foam padding approach and lockable latch design for securing contents during transport.
Ammo Cases: 905 Series
The 905 ammo case is built to hold up to 525 rounds of .223 Rem, using the same waterproof resin construction as Nanuk's firearm cases with metal eyelets for additional securing options. This gives shooters who buy or reload ammunition in bulk a genuinely protective long-term storage option rather than relying on the original cardboard packaging.
