The MTM Case-Gard Short Barrel Rifle Case (RC34) is a molded, high-impact hard case designed for the secure storage and transport of compact long arms. Engineered with dual-sided convoluted egg-crate foam padding, it protects firearms from impact and movement during vehicle transit, range travel, and field use. The exterior shell incorporates integrated tie-down strap grooves and molded stacking ribs, allowing users to secure the case to cargo racks, UTVs, or vehicle trays alongside other interlocking MTM cases. For compliance with Australian state and territory firearm transport laws requiring locked transit containers, the case is fitted with four secure snap latches and four padlock tabs.

Who is the MTM Short Barrel Rifle Case for?

• Shooters transporting pistol caliber carbines and bullpup rifles — requires a compact short barrel rifle hard case providing 34.0 inches (~86.4 cm) of usable interior length to secure assembled short-format platforms without excess bulk.
• Hunters transporting takedown shotguns and broken-down rifle assemblies — benefits from 3.2 inches (~8.1 cm) of interior foam depth within a lightweight 4.4 lbs (~2.0 kg) shell to protect multi-piece assemblies during vehicle transport.

Less suitable for: Firearms with an overall length exceeding 34.0 inches (~86.4 cm) or optics setups with tall turrets and bipods exceeding 3.2 inches (~8.1 cm) in depth; these configurations require a standard full-length 42-inch or 48-inch deep-profile tactical rifle case.
