The Magpul DAKA Hard Case C35 solves the real-world shortcomings of traditional hard cases with a stronger, easier-to-use, and more reliable system for transporting and storing your firearms and gear. Designed from the ground up around the DAKA GRID Organizer, the C35 delivers a premium, purpose-built solution that protects your equipment inside and out while remaining streamlined, easy to maneuver, and efficient to use.
Advanced injection molding, improved latch geometry, recessed lock housings, ergonomic handles, and dependable wheels all work together to create a case that protects better, handles easier, and lasts longer. By eliminating common snag points that lead to damage, the DAKA Hard Case glides smoothly across surfaces and through tight spaces while in transit—without sacrificing durability or internal capacity.
Built specifically for shorter rifles and compact loadouts, the C35 is ideal for AR15 carbines, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), pistol-caliber carbines (PCCs), and similar platforms, along with the essential accessories that travel with them.
Hard Case made in the USA.
Features
Advanced injection-molded construction provides greater strength, rigidity, and impact resistance than conventional hard cases
Built around the DAKA GRID Organizer for lighter weight, modular organization, and superior gear retention compared to traditional foam
DAKA GRID does not absorb moisture, dirt, or contaminants and wipes clean easily
Includes eight (8) triple Blocks and eight (8) double Blocks for fast, tool-free loadout customization
Center GRID Panels can be trimmed or removed to accommodate wider or taller equipment up to 4.25" wide while maintaining proper firearm bracing
Rounded, double-walled corners reduce snagging and create integrated bumper zones that also serve as internal storage pockets
The water- and weather-resistant gasket with self-equalizing pressure control protects contents from dust, moisture, and environmental changes
Innovative push-button cam latches allow one-handed opening and closing with a positive audible lock confirmation
Integrated lock pass-throughs prevent latch operation when locked, securing the entire case
Recessed lock housings and zip-tie retention points protect locks and case surfaces from impact damage
Nesting lugs allow multiple cases to stack securely; strap recesses keep ratchet straps properly positioned during transport
Three ergonomic handles—including a wheel-side carry handle—provide comfort, control, and vertical stand-up capability
Smooth-rolling wheels with ball bearings, rubber overmolding, and reinforced hubs reduce noise, friction, and debris intrusion
Interior Dimensions: 35.3" × 16.6" Best Fit: AR15 carbines, SBRs, PCCs, and other compact firearms
ADVANCED INJECTION MOLDING TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES GREATER STRENGTH, DURABILITY, AND CASE INTEGRITY
Gas charged polypropylene reduces weight and its micro-lattice structure creates a tough outer shell
Sleek and streamlined outer design means minimal places for snags to occur
Hinges provide stability when open and are nested in a polymer housing to prevent tampering and break-ins
INTERNAL STORAGE AREA BUILT AROUND THE TRANSFORMATIONAL DAKA GRID ORGANIZER
DAKA GRID Organizer Panels and Blocks are lighter, easy to use, and customizable for every loadout
Reconfigurable without tools to maximize storage capacity and ensure gear stays in place
The GRID doesn’t absorb moisture, dirt, or other contaminants like open cell foam, and it wipes clean with a damp cloth
Stronger GRID and Hard Case combination provides better overall protection for your gear
THE DETAILS THAT MATTER FOR A GREAT CASE
Internal corner pockets create an impact-resistant bumper zone that also provides extra storage space for small objects
Water and weather-resistant gasket keeps out dust and moisture and includes self-equalizing pressure control
Case frame includes lugs at the base that interface with the lid, allowing cases to nest together
Strap recesses keep straps in place to mitigate shifting in transit
UNIQUE LATCH DESIGN MAKES OPENING, CLOSING, AND LOCKING A SNAP
Two cammed, push-button latches can be opened and closed with one hand
Latches include recessed lock attachment points vs having locks attach outside the latch to prevent prying
Lock and zip tie pass-throughs secure locks within the latch and streamline the case, preventing impact damage to the lock and the case
HANDLES ARE COMFORTABLE AND FUNCTIONAL
Handle cross sections are modeled on our pistol grips for maximum comfort and grip
The two hinged handles are longer than standard handles for more grip flexibility
Handles are designed to remain in when stowed and to stay out when deployed
A third, fixed handle located adjacent to the wheels makes gripping and maneuvering the case easier
