Townie Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Bought a new gun which has the usual fabric covers for the stock and barrels/forend. It also came with a tight, full length, unpadded sleeve. Is this for use when in the cabinet? If so, is that a good idea? I prefer the idea of air circulating.

DUNKS Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Its a gun sleeve. I have them on all my guns. Stops hanger rash. Cant comment on air circulating, my house usually runs at around 40% humidity. plain steel with no protection wont rust. If you do have concerns just chuck it away simples.

Scully Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 It’s basically a sleeve to prevent knocks and dings when putting in or taking out of a cabinet, as said above. You don’t have to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 In my cabinets, I have VP90 vapour sachets which last up to a year. They are supposed to release chemicals that penetrate all parts of firearms and give protection to metal parts. I also make sure that all of my firearms are dry and at room temperature before locking them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townie Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Thank you gents. I had to look up Hangar rash! Given how clumsy I am, I'll start using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
