I was in a quandary. I wanted to mount a shotgun scabbard on the back of my tactical vest. There are plenty of really good, well made and fairly prices shotgun scabbards out there to choose from.....until your realize that virtually NONE of them will readily accept something like a Rem 870 or a Mossberg 590 sized shotgun if you mount any furniture on it. Example....add a side plate for 12 gauge reloads, a barrel mounted flashlight, a door breaching barrel attachment, etc.....and the scabbard that used to fit well.....no longer fits. Or, if it does fit, you tear the hell out of the inside of the scabbard or need three men, a mule and a small boy to shove the gun in and remove it. I have talked to many of my friends who bought shotgun scabbards only to be disappointed when their shotguns wouldn't fit once any furniture was added.After much thought, I purchased this smaller sized, rifle scabbard....based on the dimensions rather than the product description. When I compared the dimensions to that of the shotgun scabbard, I found it had a few inches more room down towards the end as well a an adjustable barrel length.I found that, not only did it accommodate both my AR carbine with a 30 round mag comfortably....but also my Zustava ZPAP M 70 AK47 and my modified Remington 870 with no problems. Well.....almost no problems.I did find that if you loaded the 870 in a hurry that the serrated edges of the breaching attachment would catch in the inner liner and tear it. Problem solved by putting a piece of painters tape around and over the muzzle before loading it. The tape comes off from friction when you remove the shotgun but keeps the serrations from snagging the nylon going into the scabbard.Four Molle attachments on this scabbard and the quality of stitching and snaps is on par with pretty much every other scabbard I have seen. The 870 is not lose in the scabbard like I was afraid it would be.So....if you are in a dilemma about what to do with your tricked out shotgun and decent, well made scabbard.....this rifle scabbard just may be the answer you have been looking for. It was for me.
