old man Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Comments please. I seem to have a situation where the sock is drying off the oiled gun inside it? Dry cabinets so no reaction to oiled guns without socks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayboster Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 i have very dry cabinets too, still had odd rust spots as winter approaches and the cold sets into the house, leave your guns out of cabinet for a couple hours to equalize to room temp before cleaning, a cold gun in a warm room, then a sock placed over it (silicone treated or not) soon attracts moisture hence rust may set in,.try turning your sock inside out, spray it lightly all over with a good silicone spray then return right side in. hope this makes sense, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 I've not noticed any rust on my gun but its out twice a week and rubbed over with a slight oiled rag every time i put it away. I use a silicone sock over it but i will keep a sharper eye on it from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 My rifles/shotguns are always left at room temperature before I put them in the cabinet/s. I use VP90 vapour sachets inside the cabinet/s which work well. http://vp90.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Only VP90 or Copper thread gunsocks will stop rust forming in the cabinet. I never use a gun sock but spray a little gun oil with VP90 in it on the carpet I placed in the bottom of the cabinet, never had a problem with rust.
