I was going to make up a quick butt stock support for the bottom corner of my pack for when I strap a rifle onto the pack but my mind drifted slightly and I wondered about a quick/basic scabbard. I have some thicker material (I believe 1000d, either way its stiffer) that I was thinking might work decent for a single layer unpadded scabbard that I think would hold its shape decently. Since my pack has PALS at the bottom I was thinking put two slides near the scabbard bottom to support it vertically and then some webbing pass through slots on the inside face to run my side straps through.
Anyone envision any flaw in the idea off hand? Main one that comes to mind for me is the top strap I'd only be able to tuck through one side of the pass through slots so I could still flap the scabbard away from the bag to tighten down the lid strap (or wrap that top strap around the outside of the scabbard leaving the inside access to the lid strap unimpeded.
Ignore my typo, need more coffee...
