So I have to leave the country for work for a WHILE and I was wondering if anyone can tell me, what problems would I run into, if any, from storing individual pistols in a LokSak 12x12 plastic bag?
Should I throw in some silica packets? No? |
| I leave the country for extended periods on a regular basis. I just keep my handguns in a safe with a Goldenrod. No issues. Before getting the Goldenrod, all I had in the safe was one of the rechargeable silica containers and still didn't have any issues. I would think that by using the LokSak bags, you should be ok. I would just squeeze out all the air and maybe throw in a silica pack for good measure. |

I've been using these and they seem to work just fine so far.

My new Remington 870 got surface rust after a range session. I wasn't too upset...it's just an 870. Cleaned it up and decided to try Eezox while it sat in the cabinet. No return of the rust yet.
FWIW, here's a little link with a test of various products. It's outdated and may or may not be a scientific way of determining effectiveness, but here it is: http://www.thegunzone.com/rust.html |
| I have a few handguns which are stored years at a time, I remove the grips and place them in a ziplocck sandwitch bag, clean and heavily oil the gun and place it (and the grips) in a ziplock 1 gallon freezer bag with plenty of oil dumped in. It seems to work well. |
