shotgun scabbard?
05/12/11 at 18:37:51

Living in AZ, the state that just voted to create a "state gun", I need to figure out how to mount a shotgun scabbard to my bike.
I picked up a Mossberg 500 20 gauge with a 22"barrel. Boy, is that fun to shoot! The public gun range is 15 miles up I-17 and with gas at 3.80 a gallon it doesn't make sense to take the truck.
Any ideas?

Oh, by the way, the state gun is now the Colt Army .45 "peace maker" from 1873.
So...How's that "Peace" working out?

Broom handle holder that gets screwed to the wall. Clamp the handle clamp or two on your bar's upright section. Screw on a plate, strap scabbard to plate. That's how I carry my cane.

JOhnboy,

I have been mulling that one myself. I am thinking about something more on the side mount idea. I have a scabbard from the ATV that I was going to use. I often ride over to a friend's to shoot and had rather ride the bike.

As a side note. when I was with him we went to a gun shop and I bought a .22, semi-auto. It was a cheapy (but my son loves it) but it looks like a M-16; all black, carry handle, pistol grip, box type mag, etc. Anyway, how to get it home, since I am on the bike. I used the strap on the rifle to put it on my back and off I go. Made it home with no incidents. Cheesy

But would not want to do that every time. Undecided

But it should buy enough time to turn around and take off. After all, zombies are rather slow.

Reply #10 - 05/13/11 at 11:19:21 With all the creative minds at loose here I am sure you guys could come up with a belt feed application just for Zombies. Maybe a short belt in the scabbard, say half dozen rounds to kinda get their attention? Then the long belt from the saddlebags to deliver a little shock and awe.

Are we talking 'dawn of the dead' type zombies or 'resident evil' type zombies?

Slow moving zombies give me a broadsword and a ma deuce Cool

Fast moving, a thomson, ma deuce and a m14, that and a moat otta slow the basterds down.

speaking of zombies ....

you should read "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (with ultraviolent zombie mayhem)". It's laugh out loud funny, at least if you're familiar with the non-zombie version.

"Sense and Sensibility (& Sea MOnsters)" is not nearly so funny.

I've never carried a long gun on the bike - Seems like the sling over your shoulder, while effective, might attract a bit of attention! I once almost lost my carry pistol from vibrating out of a IWB holster, so some sort of retention device is needed.

I think I'd also think "ATV scabbard", tie it on a few different configurations, see how it feels. You could come up with some kind of easy-release attachment for the scabbard to pop it off when you're not carrying the gun.
