Who uses them for storing C&Rs? Pros? Cons? |

I've seen wood do weird things when in contact with chemicals over time. |

We use them when packing to go to shows(like Tulsa) generaly w/ a sock on a firearm you can fit two long guns in a hard case safely Don't store firearms in cases or socks but the silicone socks should be fine.as w/ any storage method periodic examination is always a good idea |

| Used them for years, helps keep them from dinging each other up. I do imagine they could wear away bluing just rubbing up against it, but I never noticed any wear that wasn't already on there. I usually only use them on guns that sit in the safe for a long time, stuff that goes out regularly I don't put them in socks |
