protecting your gun
Would it be a good idea to seal the barrel or the intire gun and vacum seal it from the air?
Would this protect it from moisture and possible rust ? |
RE: protecting your gun
I have never heard of anyone doing that, and there is probably a good reason.:eek:
Sack Ups makes an oil impregnated sack for storing a gun. I have used them and have never had a problem with guns rusting in storage. |
RE: protecting your gun
I think that is just a little overkill...a lite coat of oil will keep it from rusting after cleaning.

RE: protecting your gun
I hope that your guns are kept in a safe/cabinet and not a case.
A little oil coating is all that you need. Throw a box of baking soda in the safe/cabinet, and that will help soak up some moisture. Also, silica packets work well and are not nearly as expensive as things like golden rods, and you dont have to plug them in. |

Hmmmmmmmm.
Makes me want to try it. I think I'm going to try oiling one up and put the new Seal-A-Meal to a new use. |

RE: protecting your gun
My guns are also stored in cases,and corrosion has never been an issue.Just don't put them into a case unless they are dry.

RE: protecting your gun
It was just an idea i hadto see what people thought.What if a case or safe had the ability to go vacumed ? Now if you see a product like this remember you heard it here first.

RE: protecting your gun
Have always kept my guns in cases..just a wipe down with light gun oil ,never any problems

RE: protecting your gun
This is a funny thread..just spray your gun down with Cor-X and be done with it.
I have a vaccum packer..it would be easy to do it..but -when you do so ,you are going to get moisture inside in due time...no getting around it.When we collect evidence from a crime -we put everything in Paper bags..there is a reason for everything..but I will give you a attaboy for the thought. |
RE: protecting your gun
granted that you should clean and oil the gun first to protect it. II fail to see the science as to howmoisture can travel int a sealed vacuum ? Temp changes the dew point as to when water in the air condenses. There is no air so there would be no water in in there. Take a window they seal 2 pains together and that stays dry between unless the seal is broken . Somebody help me out with this that is a scientist

RE: protecting your gun
I have always stored my guns in a cabinet and wipe them down monthly with an oily rag. I haven't noticed any rust on any of my guns.
|
RE: protecting your gun
If you were to put your gun in storage for a long time i think vacumn sealing it would allow you to not have to re-oil then for years. However like others said there are products out there for that. So unless your going to not touch the gun for 10 years or more I don't think its worth it.
Yes no air means no mosture which means no rust. And for as long as there is no air it will remain that way. |

Good Grief.

If the seal is broken, mositure will get in. But like others said, justwipe it down with good quility oil, or rig grease. |

RE: protecting your gun
Clean it,oil it,and store it.I've had only a few instances of rust in 40 years of deer hunting doing it that way.I probably forgot to clean and/or oil it when it happened.
