Nanuk 985 Foam Insert AR15

• Pre-cut AR-15 layout: The insert is shaped specifically for the NANUK 985 and an AR-15 setup, so the rifle and accessories stay separated, supported and easier to pack consistently.
• Closed-cell protective foam: The high-quality closed-cell foam cushions stored equipment and helps reduce movement inside the case, which matters when transporting a firearm and accessories over rough ground or in a vehicle.
• Organized storage: A dedicated insert keeps the interior orderly and makes it faster to check that every item is in place before travel, range use or storage.
• Lid foam included: The package also includes eggshell foam for the lid, adding top-side contact and helping hold contents more securely when the case is closed.
• Made for the NANUK 985 case: Because it is designed for the 985 platform, the insert gives a cleaner fit than generic foam and makes better use of the case interior.

About the 985 Series

The NANUK 985 Series belongs to the brand’s long-case family, developed for users who need a hard case format suited to rifles, takedown firearms and similarly shaped equipment. In the NANUK lineup, the 985 sits as a practical mid-length option for shooters, hunters, law-enforcement users and anyone transporting gear that benefits from a slim, elongated interior. The series is built around the idea that the case shell provides the structural protection, while purpose-made interior options adapt the case to a specific loadout.

What distinguishes the series is its compatibility with dedicated foam solutions for firearm transport and equipment organization. Rather than relying only on universal pick-and-pluck layouts, the 985 platform is also offered with model-specific inserts that create a more stable fit for common applications such as an AR-15. This makes the series especially relevant for users who want a repeatable packing arrangement, better separation between components and a neater presentation of stored equipment. Within the broader NANUK range, the 985 Series is defined by that balance of long-case capacity, transport practicality and application-specific interior protection.

About the Nanuk 985 Foam Insert AR15

The Nanuk 985 Foam Insert AR15 is a dedicated case accessory for owners of the NANUK 985 who want a more secure and organized interior than a generic foam block can provide. Its main advantage is the pre-cut layout: instead of asking the user to shape the interior manually, the insert arrives configured for an AR-15 application, which helps position the rifle and related items in a consistent way each time the case is packed. That consistency matters in transport, because it reduces shifting and makes it easier to see at a glance whether the full loadout is complete.

The foam itself is a closed-cell design, chosen for protective inserts because it supports equipment while resisting the loose, soft feel associated with lower-density packing materials. In practical use, that means better separation between the firearm and accessories, less internal movement and a tidier storage arrangement for range travel or longer-term storage. The included eggshell lid foam adds contact from above, helping the contents stay more stable once the case is shut.

As a case accessory, this model is less about adding features than about improving how the 985 works in the field. It turns the case interior into a purpose-built layout for an AR-style rifle setup, making the hard case easier to load, easier to inspect and better suited to repeated transport.

About Nanuk

Plasticase began manufacturing plastic cases in 1984 under the name Resentel Ltd., and NANUK is the company’s protective-case brand. The manufacturer focuses on injection-molded plastic protective cases, with a range that covers cameras, drones, firearms and outdoor equipment. That background is directly relevant here, because the brand’s accessories are developed around the same case platforms rather than as generic add-ons.

A defining part of the NANUK identity is the use of the patented PowerClaw latching system on its hard cases, along with case bodies made from NK-7 resin. NANUK hard-sided cases are manufactured at Plasticase’s factory in Quebec, Canada, which reflects the brand’s emphasis on in-house case design and production. For firearm and equipment transport, NANUK is best known for combining durable hard cases with application-specific interior solutions such as dedicated foam inserts.
