Shotgun Scabbards

[LAZY EYED SNIPER]

Posted this as a reply in another thread earlier today, but figured it had a place here too. Anyone with a breacher barrel knows getting it down in a scabbard can be a bit problematic...

Here are a couple simple solutions using items found around the house. This one's a cap off a bottle of olive oil. Fits like it was made for it...




...and this one's the cork from a bottle of Patron Silver...




These both work like a charm and keep the breacher from shredding the scabbard...

Thats a good idea, nice way to not shred a scabbard..

Dude, great idea. I've shredded mine to bits haha. But recently I added a holographic sight, laser and light to my shotgun so there's no more scabbard for me

 

[LAZY EYED SNIPER]

Sweet!

How do you like the new set-up?

 

[Deadwhitegoose]

I love it man. It's finally covered all my bases for a completely functional tactical shotgun. Especially for home defense.

 

[LAZY EYED SNIPER]

Good deal bro.

Glad it's workin out nicely for you...

I'd love any of y'alls advice on storing my 51663 in my condor scabbard for extended periods of time. I know it's generally not a good idea as the fabric tends to soak up the lube and may trap moisture, but what about on the 590 parkerized finish?

Thoughts?

 

[LAZY EYED SNIPER]

Two words...

Frog Lube

It's a dry film lube that will protect the weapon and won't soak into the fabric. Or, just don't leave the shotgun in the scabbard when it'll be sitting up for a while...

I have the exact same Condor setup w/shell holder sling as Lazy Eyed Sniper. The Condor is a quality scabbard. Can't say about the others.

Do you guys ever put Scotchguard or anything on the fabric to waterproof it?

I guess waterproofing isn't the issue in Badragistan it was in the jungle war years.
