Got several S-Auto’s, couple revolvers & even a 14″ Contender. They all get a Bore Store ASAP. Don’t mess with those stupid socks. Drop a little extra coin on these and you won’t regret it. Plus, the folks at Bore Stores are a family owned All- American, made in the USA place of business. Time to help our own, stop financing those that hate us.

10″ x 52″ are 21.00 each. Ordered a couple for summer use. Along with the goldenrod should do the trick.

I have a bit of a moisture problem where my safe is, and am getting by using a dehumidifier, but will look into one of these for a bit of extra protection thanks!

Another good rust preventative is Birchwood-Casey Barricade (formerly Sheath). I switched to using this in the bores of my black powder rifles and it works better than anything else I’ve tried. For general purposes I use Ballistol, but it’s not as good at taming rust in that case.

I like the Plano vertical gun cases, as there is nothing contacting gun metal.
I believe they’ve received pretty good reviews here.

Noticed you recommended Boeshield T9 and Eezox. Would Breakfree CLP be as good as the others…or Slip2000 EWL? I’ve used Boeshield for Marine watercraft applications, but didn’t think it would be as useful in firearms?

A word of warning:

If you need to re-finish an oiled and/or waxed wooden stock that has been in contact with silicone, it has to be sanded down. It can become a real nightmare if you want a good finish.

Editor: This may be good advice. However I should say that I have stored Mauser, Pedersoli, Kimber, and H&R rifles with oil-finished wood stocks in bore stores for years and the finish has remained flawless. I haven’t attempted to refinish the wood because the stocks did not become discolored or “greasy to the touch” in any way.

I have used them for years, they do a great job of protecting rifles.

HINT – I staple a small tag to the corner of the flap with a description of which firearm is inside, it saves having to look for a firearm since the Bore-Sacks look alike.

For the foam-lined hard cases as the one shown in this article, I have used a quality silicone spray such as 3M Silicone Lubricant to treat the foam. Never had a problem with rust starting.

Editor: James — Glad that procedure worked for you! However the foam can still trap moisture. Also the use of some chemical sprays can cause the foam to break down with time. Our recommendation still stands — avoid the foam-lined cases for long-term storage.

If it’s truly precious, purchase a Boyt hard sided case.
