Gents,
You have just experienced a "vince-a- dent". I take responsiblity for putting something else in the sock drawer.

I have about 40 of these; pistol, rifle, and shotgun. Started using them several years ago. Those of you using socks,Crown bags, cloth bank bags best be careful. I have used all of these and have experienced rust to varying degrees. I have not had any problems with the Bore Stores. Another advantage to these is the padding, it will allow stacking in the safe.

Have a nice day

Steve,

Thanks. These are new to me, and it is nice to hear that they do work. Stacking in the safe is exactly what I got them for. This addiction has, well, gotten outta hand, I need more room!

Midway USA has them on sale right now. 4 inch barrels fit well in the P3 large auto. Artilleries do the same in the P4 large auto and revolver.

Looks Great. Can still stash them in my sock drawer.

Yea I been using bores stores an all my firearms for years. You can get em at Midway.

The Bottom line is that if you live in a humid climate. Don't store hand guns in socks (wool, cotton or nylon), or rifles in cases.

I've seen numerous fire arms damaged beyond repair being stored in this manner.

I once helped a gunsmith friend cut and scrape a gun case liner off of a nice old SxS shotgun, after it had soaked in Kroil for a number of days, so he could try to restore it. He did a great job, but it was still ruined as far as the value went.

Bore Stores work great as long as they don't get wet.

Yeah, but I don't know what size you'd need for an armadillo....

FN

Advice well taken! Especially here in Florida.

Armadillo = Panzer Possum

I just received my latest acquisition shipped in an old sock, I would have prefered other packing arrangements.

"Panzer Possum"? oh, hell, hhahahahaha funniest thing I've heard all week...thanks! ....(I ran over a PZKW MkIV last summer)..yes, they have invaded SC now....it's Georgia's fault, they suck at defense..........
