- PREVENTS GUN RUST FOR 5 YEARS with constant monthly use and upwards of 10 years when rarely used such as once or twice a year. Similar bags at best will only last upwards of 2-3 years when rarely used. Designed to last longer due to the addition of a unique external barrier layer that only allows the VCI chemistry to be off-gassed into the bag while also blocking moisture from the outer atmosphere.
- BARRIER CONTROLLED MICRO-ENVIRONMENT - full of anti-corrosion chemistry for unmatched corrosion prevention. Unlike with single layer bags, our multi-layer design which incorporates proven flexible packaging barrier layers prevent the exterior atmosphere from permeating the bag, while also locking the anti corrosion VCI chemistry inside the bag.
- PROTECTIVE VCI MOLECULES - reach every metal surface that oxygen can meaning both external and internal metal surfaces of the gun are protected for FAIL-SAFE anti corrosion protection.
- EASY TO USE – simply clean and lube your firearm as you normally would and carefully place inside the bag. For best results try to avoid handling any clean metal surface with bare hands. Desiccant packs are not required but can be used. Firearms can be stored loaded.
- 8 MIL THICK HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION - 4 mil thick VCI material PLUS 4 mil tick exterior barrier layer provides UNMATCHED durability and longevity. Our exterior barrier layer is how the API Bags are able to last a Minimum of 5 years, far longer than similar VCI Storage Bags.
- MINIMUM 5 YEAR PROTECTION - depending on use. Frequent use such as once a month will yield at least 5 years of protection with less use extending the life of the bag beyond five years.
Arms Preservation Anti Rust VCI Shotgun/Rifle Storage Bags measure 11" x 54" OD and are designed to protect shotguns and rifles with traditional stocks from rust during short or long term storage such as the hunting off season. Depending on the shotgun or rifle's overall height, optics may remain mounted and are unaffected by the VCI molecules. Arms Preservation Anti Corrosion Shotgun/Rifle Storage Bags are an ideal solution when there are traditional stock long guns that are used often or rarely due to the easy-to-use Velcro closure system, unlike competing bags that require users to heat seal or zip tie the bag shut. Benefits of the Arms Preservation Bags over similar VCI bags: - Prevents rust for 5 years with constant monthly use and upwards of 10 years when rarely used such as once or twice a year. Similar bags at best will only last upwards of 2-3 years when rarely used. - A.P.I. VCI Gun Bags last longer due to the addition of a unique external barrier layer that only allows the VCI chemistry to be off gassed into the bag while also blocking moisture from the outer atmosphere. - A.P.I. VCI Storage bags create a controlled micro environment rich with anti corrosion chemistry that also uniquely blocks the external atmosphere from permeating the VCI material which can occur with similar single layer VCI poly bags. - A.P.I. Gun bags also come with pre-installed Velcro closures that provide convenience as well as additional safety as they can withstand the weight of a firearm keeping it secure inside the bag. Some similar bags use a weak small press to close zipper whereas most others require the use of zip ties or even heat sealing to close the bags. - All of our raw materials are sourced in the US and our bags are manufactured with American labor. - Our thicker and more durable materials also provide additional ding and scratch protection in crowded safes, cages, or racks.
