Bloke Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) I travel on public transport a lot, and for ease of carriage, I usually use a Napier 2 takedown gunbag that converts into a fleece-lined slip when at the ground. Problem is, when I put the stock/barrels separately into the bag sections, first the fleece sticks to all the greased parts - ejectors etc, and secondly, the inside of the fleece gets eventually coated with grease and muck- then I end up having to cart grease etc along and clean/grease the gun before assembly every **** time! I was thinking of making some of the protective sleeve bags that you see on some of the more expensive guns in the takedown cases, it is either a papery, fabric sort of stuff, or a microfibre type of fabric. Trouble is, I don't want to use any thing that might end up taking the blue off the barrels, something I can wash easily, to clean the grease and dirt from, Rather than the old tesco bags and rubber bands I use now . Any Ideas welcomed, Ta. Edited August 2, 2010 by Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 GMK do a really good very thin microfibre gun storage slip that i use to protect my rifles from scratches in the cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 A lot of RFD's have a fibre type gunslip which they give away free when a gun is bought off them. They usuallly have the RFD's name etc on them. Maybe you could ask your local RFD if they could give you one, and then you would be advertising their business for them.

Guest Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 You can get silicon gun 'socks' I use one to keep my gun in, in the cabinet. Doesn't lose any fibres and helps stop damp, also reasonably thick so helps to prevent knocks/scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Thanks guys, I have a silicone gun sock for in my cabinet, but I really didn't want to cut one in half to make the two-piece cover I need for in the slip, plus the napier barrel storage section is a bit tight for the thicker material. The fibre type or equivalent material would be ideal, as I can buy 2, cut them up and put drawstrings on, my local RFD doesm't do them but I will try at Euroguns next time I'm there. If anyone remembers the name of that fibre-type material, I could try to get some and make this from scratch - I'll keep looking. (Oh and thanks for the tip some time ago on electronic ear defenders, Nick - best purchase I ever made, great devices!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) I've got on to another local RFD and he thinks he might have some of the temporary slips I can take to try and cut down and will let me know tomorrow - Hopefully a result! Thanks again guys. Edited August 2, 2010 by Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 old pair of tracksuit bottoms. cut leg off, zip tie one end and tie a bit of string the other, unless you have sewing machine in which case you can put a draw cored in one end and stitch other end closed. cheap and easy. if you have to buy a pair then sports direct for £3.
